Relevant, one of the reasons I decided to homeschool and then go full unschooling with my three children: https://www.cantrip.org/gatto.html https://www.cantrip.org/gatto.html Also “Deschooling Society” by Ivan Illich. You start by examining and questioning what you think you know about school and education. Most of us only have our school experience to go by so we interpret any other path as inferior, subversive, deviant. There’s more than one way to get a useful education. My kids all turned out just fine, two went to college, they have careers, active social lives since very young. I think the biggest mistake parents make is thinking they can shape their children into something. They fail to see their children as individuals, separate from the parents, with their own personalities and desires. Schools by and large follow that model, trying to force children to conform and behave and learn the same things at the same time and rate as everyone else. Montessori comes closest to unschooling, but it’s quite expensive.
