Alternative schooling?

[Anonymous No.12351726]

What does biz think of setting up a small rural farm and teaching kids in an alternative way? Heavy emphasis on math and logic thinking + some minor physical labor from a young age. Kinda like the amish but not as strict

Bring the kids to church so they can still learn to socialize and have them move out around 13 once highschool starts. Thoughts?

If alternative medicine worked, it'd be called medicine.

You have to be retarded to think this is a good idea.

Schooling has been regularized to death. You will get pen-pushers and other idiots visiting you. Your great school idea will end up being another shitty boarding school.

This is an interesting idea OP, don't listen to these faggots. I'd worry about sending my kids to public schools these days.

some people tried this in the 80s and 90s. you may know of it as Ruby Ridge or Waco. government wasn't overly fond of it.

Good ideas. Check out "school sucks" podcast, has lots of info about alternative schooling models.

Public school is utter garbage. Most ghetto dwellers would benefit massively from going straight to apprenticeship or menial labor at 13 years old, rather than attending school where they will be dealing with anti-info from teachers and association with other failures in their age group (negative peer pressure).

Yes I've considered this for my future kids. I was homeschooled myself and the pros really outweighed the cons for me. Having been homeschooled, I think I have a better idea of how to do it than my parents did.

That said, I think there's a lot of value in the idea of families pooling their resources. Growing up, a lot of my friends' parents taught at the local college, and they'd do exchanges and big co-op classes taught by an actual expert. Once a week, some of my friends carpooled to this genius polymath who lived an hour away, and there they'd learn debate, logic, Latin, graduate level criticism, theology, history of philosophy, etc., and I regret not going myself.

Additionally, financial independence would help a lot of 13yos get out of abusive situations.

Glad to know there are similar minds out there. This is the only way for education imo. There shouldn't be any trouble with authorities as you're not really setting up an actual for-profit school. Rather, you're pooling resources to pay for a few lessons from experts of different domains.

Most public teachers are just there because they have no clue what to do with their lives. It wouldn't be logical to let your kids be influenced by their authority at an age where the mind is malleable

care to share your experiences? what did you liked and not liked about homeschooling? how would you do it better?

Why do Americans do this?

Sounds pretty fucking dumb unless you can hire state of the art teachers.

Why not just get your kid into one if those big city merit based schools you have to apply to get into? Typically they are the best high schools in your state with average ACT scores near 30.

Once you actually have kids, you'll likely realize you don't have the patience for homeschooling.

If you are wealthy to not work again then you are wealthy to send them to a private school. Private schools are usually fine since it filters the niggers and shitskins

1. While I'm naturally introverted, really outgoing kids should be given the chance to try public school. One friend resents being homeschooled to this day, but I think when this happens, it's due to parents being lazy. You need to try extra hard with extroverted kids. It's true that a percentage of homeschooled kids can be socially awkward, but heck there are a lot of kids who went to public/private school who are awkward too. Really I think it's all about how well-adjusted the parents are.

2. I have a (much older) friend who homeschools his kids, and he's got things figured out. He's well-educated, but self-employed doing blue-collar work. Whenever possible, he takes his kids with him to the house he's working at that day. They hang around doing schoolwork and fetching tools all day. If the homeowner has kids, they get to play with them in the afternoon. They make lots of friends who go to public school this way.

His kids are the most well-adjusted, charming, polite, and conversational kids I've ever met, and all the homeowners love them and find excuses to bring their dad back for more work.

Working with your parents to learn the family business is a practice that needs to come back imo.

3. The thing I most regret about my childhood was not having anyone who could help and encourage me to learn higher math on my own. My parents are musicians.

4. I also regret that my dad didn't really help homeschool us. He just got back from work, sat down in front of the TV, and waited for Mom to bring him food. I feel like I only had half an education in some ways, but I made up for it by reading widely on my own.
