Unschooling - We don't need no education.

Homeschooling was discussed over in Articles recently, so I thought I’d revive this thread with some fresh content. I’ve also seen people say that vidya should be treated the same as reading Plato.

I mean, only if playing Minecraft leads to them studying game design and learning how to do that. But, the chances of them doing that when you say they could just play Minecraft 24/7 are pretty slim.

"Whatever interests friends on the forums introduce a child to."

If you want to ensure your kid is fucked up for life, why not just cut out the middlemen and hire a child sex offender to tutor your kid?

That doesn't explain how her body didn't automatically/instinctively (I dunno) pop out the mucus blockage for the amniotic fluid to flow out of the uterus. It's stupid to not get a medical check-up during pregnancy, but whatever, at its most basic, the body knows what to do during pregnancy and how to induce labor. Some babies have been overdue and still came out okay, that happens. But how the fuck can one keep a gestation period going longer than it needs to be with or without medical intervention?

Doesn't make sense to me. Human stupidity never makes sense.

The bodies also fuck up all the time. The number of women and children that died in childbirth before modern medicine was unimaginable by today's standards. That is why these stupid unassisted birth movements exist. These women have never seen or heard of a woman dying in childbirth, assume it must be because Reasons That No Longer Apply that they might have died in the past. She did nothing to have a postdates pregnancy. Her body messed up, she was too arrogant and stupid to get help, and it cost the baby's life.

Edit: Forgot to add that these women believe that if their babies or themselves die in childbirth that just is nature's way, nothing you should have done to prevent it. They are batshit insane.

Who needs education when you have memes?

No wonder she learned about Tulsa from memes. That's the #1 method for conveying fictional content.

Don't wanna get to specific cuz personal details, but I have had contact with the kids undergoing one of these insane "unschooling" shit. The mother is relative of one of my family friends, so the kids would hang around the house and it was pretty bonkers. Like full preteens not knowing how to sound out words. Mother was also into some naturopath bs too, so kids would be naked all the time and like shit and piss outside in the grass. Really fucking weird.

I was looking on agorist market (Schizo website) and found a good one.

Unschool of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Providing: An alternative to the state indoctrination camps; weekly meetings for parental review, thirteen subjects for a well-rounded person, concrete goals that include home/business, and access to many occulted books/ideas collected specifically for these courses. Warning: teacher will not comply with many 'required standards for graduation' and will even teach contrary to some.

curriculum copied from the discord server

Each of the thirteen pillars is graded on a vast five-point scale.
F- allows others to take care of this pillar for them
D- knows what this pillar would look like for themselves
C- practices and improves this method for themselves
B- has forged a pillar that shall last a lifetime beyond themselves
A- is practicing at a world-class level for others
This grading system works from the ground up; you do not start with an A (1 point out of 1 point), but rather it is assumed that a child begins their life requiring the pillars of others to find support on.

The thirteen pillars are as follows:
I. Journalism; ie, the act of keeping some form of journal
II. Dielectricity/Magnetism; ie, 'incorrect' Teslonian electronics
III. Natural Philosophy; ie, 'incomplete' non-0 mathematics/logic
IV. Architecture; ie, creating a hospitable space
V. Archaeology; ie, discovering local, 'inaccurate' (yet true) history
VI. Water; ie, purifying the ur-organism for home/garden
VII. Skyclock; ie, using the sky as both map and calendar
VIII. Music; ie, the 'inexplicable' unification of the sciences
IX. Alchemy; ie, using a garden to maintain a healthy body
X. Death; ie, accepting it
XI. Law; ie, not being ignorant
XXII. Justice; ie, not being a slave
XXXIII. Meditation; ie, rest (aka disconnection into the all/none)
Each pillar has a tool to craft.
Each pillar has a habit to form.
Each pillar has a meme to read/watch/listen/experience.
Each pillar has a mirror back to the false reality we grew up in.

It is not expected or even encouraged to expect any student to achieve an A in all thirteen pillars, even after a lifetime of study. We are all different people with different goals, but we all need food, water, and music if you know what i'm sayin'. I merely wish to give this gift to those who desire it; I'm certain that a job well-done will inspire whatever gifts are available in exchange.

I'd love to see their curriculum. It must be a treasure trove of bizarre shit.

Makes sense.
Modern schools are teaching fake garbage,

The sentiment definitely makes sense, but movements like this tend to attract the products of modern schooling themselves. It's some of the most crunchy granola hippie stuff you can see or it's anarchist craziness.

Most of the people you'd expect to be against public schooling do traditional homeschooling with a real curriculum.

I know this thread is old, and I'm not sure if there's a newer one, but I was unschooled. To make a long story short. when I became aware of how terribly my parents stunted me, it's been terrible. I'm now a young adult trying to figure out how to fix my life.

I would be interested in hearing more about what you saw of the unschooling community and the specific challenges you face.

I'd also be interested. I have some education in education, but despite or because of that I realized that I absolutely cannot be the sole source of education for my children even though there are a quite a few things I don't like at all when it comes to public education. I don't even think homeschooling with an approved curriculum is a good idea. I can't even imagine some regular schmuck thinking they can fully educate their children, let alone without a curriculum.

Sure, I'll try not to powerlevel too much. Really the only the advantage I have over any of the kids in this thread is self awareness and being able to read, write, and do pretty basic math. I'm a bit spergy and I learned everything mostly by myself. All of what I mentioned before, history, and geography, the easy stuff to learn really. My parents aren't big hippies or anything but rather just had parents as bad they are. I lived basically my whole life around my family who also were completely unschooled, pretty much none of them having any sort of drive to learn anything. My brothers and cousins maybe started to learn how to read around 11-12, whereas I was on par with regular kids more or less. In my family you get no education at all, marry young, and leech off of society. Any questions and everyone looks at you like you just killed a man. I'd get teased for being a smartass because I had 29% of a normal kid's intelligence. You could ask a kid where britain is and they'd probably say in england.

Being a little kid and not having to do any work and being able to play video games, watch cartoons and mess around with your family all day is awesome. But I got older and spent more and more time on the internet and learned how the world actually works, and soon I realized NO ONE should ever be raised like this. Today I'm embarrassed about my life like nothing else. When other people bring up school I got used to saying "Yeaaah, I was homeschooled, it was alright." or just avoid the question. I'm still relatively young, and I kind of have no idea how to get my life together, but I'll be damned if I don't try,

TLDR: Unschooling is as AIDS as you think it is, and my childhood was more or less nothing but a waste.

@ProphylacticMagician, Are you considering going to college or trade school?Proph
I've somewhat realized that school isn't really for everybody (I really hate school), but I finally managed to get my trade degree, and I keep learning new stuff at work!

Probably because of where I'm from, the unschoolers are of the hippie variety and more proactive about teaching at least something. Your situation is why there are truancy laws.
Just had a weird memory. There was this kid in my high school sporadically for awhile before he disappeared forever. He claimed that his family were carnies and part of a traveling circus. Absolutely no ability to read, do math. He wasn't disruptive but seemed to not even understand where the hell he was or that you were supposed to do in a classroom. Sometimes I wonder what happens to these kids.

I've known people who have done this well but they weren't fundies. They both had advanced degrees, a prodigy for a child, who could self-direct education and was motivated to do it, and had social activities because the parents knew that this was a potential problem with home schooling.

That said, I can hardly blame people who don't want to dump their children into the cesspool public education has become in recent years.

Absolutely, the plan is to get into community college at least and hopefully transfer into a 4 a year. I just need to figure out how to get there, which will involve busting my ass if even possible.

I agree that homeschooling can actually work great, if your parents are competent. But that requires a lot of dedication, work, and ideally already being a teacher. Public school is a shithole sure, but I think it's in most parent's best interest to stick their kids in one if they at least don't want to ruin them for life.

I'm pretty scared that I'm ruined for life, but I have the want to get better at least.

yeah that checks out.
Ok jokes aside, it sounds like you got dealt a really shitty hand by god to end up with bumfuck parents who don't believe in public ed but are too much of lazy fucks themselves to actually teach you something worth a damn. I'm sorry to hear that and I hope you can find some way on making yourself untarded.
