RE: Rise of the Unschooled

in Reflections9 months ago

And there I was thinking you were going to be talking about homeschooling, this is much worse x_x

unschooling is our primary method

the conversation will omit is the discussion around the degradation of society, the failing of communities, and the increasing drive for individualism in an on-demand environment, combined with a decreasing focus on emotional control

That's so much harder to fix, and also I can think up a million (okay just a couple) of conspiracy theories around this. At least with things like

gun access, mental health and bullying in schools

politicians and people in general can pretend they have all the answers and everything would just be better if everyone else accepted the fact that they were right and implemented their simplistic solutions and continue studiously ignoring the fact that those problems stem from deeper problems which require more complex solutions (and some of which may never have a permanent solution because the problem variables keep varying).

How's the little one doing now? That's quite a lot for anyone, especially kids.

Simple solutions to complex problems. It can never work, as the landscape is always changing. Their solutions don't factor in the culture, or the dynamics and interplay.

She is alright. More questions will come in time.
