In the world of education, alternative schooling methods often raise eyebrows. While some parents excel at teaching their kids from Kindergarten through 12th grade, this isn’t the norm. Many children who are homeschooled might benefit more from online teachers who can provide accountability separate from parental roles.

Among these alternative methods, unschooling stands out as a controversial approach. Unschooling promotes informal learning, where children primarily choose their activities. While this may sound liberating, without proper structure, essential educational skills can be overlooked. Recently, a story of an unschooler went viral, highlighting the challenges. Her 19-year-old struggled with math and reading, and both children resisted learning.

This raised questions about the effectiveness of unschooling and underscores the importance of balanced educational approaches.

LIke, I get the whole financial aspect of it that proper going to the school thing can be expensive for some people, even out of budget for so many. But if you take the duty upon yourself not knowing how to honor the big responsibility, then you are bound to ruin your child’s life.

Home tutoring, for instance is a much cheaper option compared to schooling that many parents can look into, but any such decision shall only be taken after thoroughly assessing the needs of your child. Besides, you may make your child an actuarial n scientist by homeschooling him or her which is great, but what would be the point if he or she still ends up becoming a r*pist or a dr*g addict, right? It is about grooming and character building as well. The way our behaviors and attitudes are polished is something that can only be done in schools. That thing gets ignored when you school your child by yourself, at the home!

So please choose wisely!

10. There is so much depth to this statement than just the words that created it.

14. A tough concept to get it into those hands in the modern age.

15. It is kind of weird that not for once did it occur to that mother in the past 18 years that things are not working the way she wanted them to work for her son.

Via @madamajab

16. With that mindset, this was an inevitable occurrence.

17. You suppress your child’s confidence completely if you shift him or her to homeschooling after an event of ab*se at the school.
