"Thanks so much for the fantastic conference of Aug 12-14. The conference was so helpful to readjust my perceptions of what is important for my daughter to know. The perspective of John Holt and the presenters has really inspired me to question my whole approach to learning. And she made at least two new friends, something that is basically of most importance for teens."
