Do you know what it means to learn?When you are really learning you arelearning throughout your life andthere is no one special teacher tolearn from. Then everything teachesyou--a dead leaf, a bird in flight,a smell, a tear, the rich and thepoor, those who are crying, the smileof a woman, the haughtiness of a man.You learn from everything, thereforethere is no guide, no philosopher,no guru. Life itself is your teacher,and you are in a state of constantlearning.
--J. Krishnamurti

gout tiis Boz!liet.This booklet is designed primar.ly an aidto parents seeking existing al.: ineducation. Although limite0 :.:he Day Area,it presents a developing r that withouta doubt is the directio.:: .,Lc:Lon: will takein the coming years. bret is anexcursion into the c;;re. of educationalexperiments, from the most bizarre to themore mellow, classical alternative schoolslike Montessori. and Summrhill. It shouldgreatly benefit parents, students, prospec-tive teachers, and schools in keeping trackof the alternative education movement andthe ever changinq choices available.
Since the publication of the first editionof this booklet, alternative education hasbecome an ens-ntial part of cur culture.Though there are no dramatic sicins of radi-cl change in education, it is ponsihle tosee that t:he educational estalinkment isfinally hoginnin to (uestion the very basicsof the so-called "puhlic school system."(Note the challenge to the economic rodusoperandi of the public schools in the Serranodecision and, less important but of interest,the experiment in Alum Rock, California, ofa Voucher Plan that: gives a bigger voice toparents and students in the running of thepublic schools.)
So, we believe that our Guide is an urgentnecessity for finding out what is hapi)ening.The creative energy of radical teachers andthe anguish of parents and students are off-ering an excellent climate for successfulalternatives. Many of the schools listed arenew, enthusiastic, and full of stamina. Weknow that a new approach to education in anintegral, humanistic way will come about asIvan Illich, Jenks and Paul Goodman pointout--only.by a total transformation of oursociety.

COLLEGE ADMISSIONS FROM EXPERIMENTALLYSTRUCTURED HIGH SCHOOLS --by Walter Zintz
Quite a few parents who like the idea ofalternative schools still wonder about get-ting their children into college after highschool. The schools are so new that mostof them are not privately accredited, andmany have eliminated :::he ordinary gradingsystems. Actually, parents needn't worry,for a number of reasons.
The better the college is the less it careswhat school an applicant has attended. TheUniversity of California, for instance,merely requires that applicants from alter-native high schools score slightly higheron the College Boards than other students.Admission officers of the better privatecolleges are equally open-minded:
Antioch College--"Antioch does notrequire that a candidate be a grad-uate of an accredited secondaryschool..although the small, experi-mental high school usually does notengage in grades and class standingsor ranking procedures, we are usu-ally provided with a very detailedand personal documentation of thestudent's various courses and otheracademic activities." Frank A. Logan,Dean of Admissions.
.California Institute of Technology- -"..we will examine any serious appli-cation and ...consider an applicantfrom almost any kind of school solong as we can get reasonably criti-'cal informz..A.tion about him." Peter M.Miller, Director of Admissions. 71

Mills College-- "We're willing tolook at any candidate; we simplywant to know that she's gotten asgood an education as the betterstudents from accredited schools.Mills has a few students who didn't;graduate from high school but whoseemed ready for college." Mrs.
Darl E. Bowers, Director of Admis-
sions.
In the Bay Area, a few of the radically alter-native high schools have shown their graduates'college admission records to be very success-ful. Shasta in Marin has three out of three,New Directions in Richmond has five of five,Pegasus in Hayward has four of four, and NewCommunity in Oakland has four out of seven.These kids are now attending UC Berkeley, UCLA,UC Santa Cruz, San Francisco Art Institute,and Kirkland. This of course is a very smallnumber of students, but their success is com-forting for those who are concerned about theirchildren getting into college.
