Homeschool proponents always cherry pick the good parts. Some kids are naturally motivated to acquire skills, but most will play with toys or play outside when they're young, and then start doing more social media/gaming when they're older. There's no solution for this other than to prevent them from doing these things and actively force them to do "learning stuff". Homeschool is no different, no matter what anyone implies by selective storytelling.
- camjohnson26 5y agoPlay time is extremely important for building curiosity and learning. Playing outside has massive health benefits too which will help with burnout down the road. Of course they need discipline too but I think schools leave barely any time for kids to be kids between classes, homework, and extra curricular. Feynman is an example of somebody who practiced this. Done right play isn’t wasteful, it makes people want to dig deeper into something which is how discoveries are made.
