Ask HN: Were you unschooled, or are you unschooling your children?
1. Anyone considering or currently practicing unschooling&#x2F;self directed education [0]?<p>2. Were you home schooled&#x2F;unschooled&#x2F;practiced self directed education ?
What’s your story?<p>I am considering this approach for my children. Just finished reading free to learn [1] and Peter gray makes a compelling case for this approach. Also the documentary “schooling the world” covers some of the chilling effects of compulsory schooling. [2] it has made me seriously question our current education system. A system that seems designed to surpress all of the critical skills one needs for the future.<p>Would love to hear your story And thoughts?<p>My daughter starts grade one this year so decisions have to be made on the school. We currently have her enrolled in a Montessori.<p>I have been doing some research and not think the current education system is the best for the skills that would be needed in the future.<p>originally started as a comment but think it deserves a full Ask hn.<p>[0] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Unschooling<p>[1] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Free-Learn-Unleashing-Instinct-Self-Reliant&#x2F;dp&#x2F;0465025994<p>[2] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;schoolingtheworld.org<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;m.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=XLSIgZWNR9M<p>Edit:
