What's the deal with public school and why should we leave it? If you are feeling overwhelmed with deciding if a traditional public (or private) school is the best choice for your kids then take a listen to this episode.
RJ gives us a little history of why public school operates the way it does and how it hasn't really changed format in over 100 years. Melissa then talks about the concept of deschooling and how it works.
Quotes from this episode:
“Education in the United States, as an institution, as a public institution, was kind of predicated on the idea that what we're trying to do is create people to fill roles in factories, because they've created schedules that used bows to determine what was happening next.” RJ
“We educate seven days a week, we don't do school seven days a week.” RJ
“Deschooling, basically, it's really like the idea is you're deprogramming yourself from having to fit into the traditional school mindset and model, and allowing yourself space and time to find your own learning styles, find your own homeschool style, figure out what's going to work within your own schedule, what your kids are interested in what they want to learn, not what the state is mandating they learn at a certain grade at a certain age, you know, it's screw the standards.” Melissa
“There's a reason that we chose to move away from that model, and into homeschool, and everyone's homeschool is gonna look different. “ Melissa
