The Next Learning System: and why home-schoolers are trailblazers

by Roland Meighan

The success of home educating families frequently comes as a pleasant surprise to them and the reasons for the effectiveness of their learning often remains somewhat unarticulated while those who have researched it's success and growth have analysed the processes and methods employed, concluding that schools, like generals preparing for the last war, are chronically inflexible and archaic by comparison.

Few home educating families see themselves as field-testing features of the next education system, even though that is clearly the consequence of their success. Their aims are more modest, their radicalism is often either accidental or incidental. They discover the approach of the catalogue curriculum without necessarily knowing it.

In this book, Professor Roland Meighan analyses the development of home education in the UK and proposes that home educators are trailblazing a new approach to learning that schools would do well to pay attention to.
