@alongsidethesky: How do unschoolers build resilience to adversity? It’s an oddly common question, which reveals much more about the negative experience as most people have in school then it says anything about alternative education. The world is full of adversity, and overcoming challenges is part of daily life. #unschooling #childrensrights #grownunschoolers #homeschooling
A grocery checker asked my daughter how she would ever get a real job without going to school she said, “you mean like a grocery checker?” 😂💀

To answer your "Make it make sense" Many adults don't consider the experience of children "Real" so when they say "real world" they mean adulthood

It is so weird to me that strangers would even know about your educational background. As an adult, no one has ever talked to me about my education.

My mom "homeschooled" me so she could stay drunk and I could raise my sister. Good times.

I have done some homeschooling and separate enrichment classes so I definitely see the benefit - huge - but what about advanced math, physics, chemistry, etc?

can you still "graduate"/ get into college with unschooling? How does that work (genuine question, not trying to be an ass)

Unschooling is a branch of "homeschooling". Homeschooling really should be called educational freedom or parent directed education though.

Being homeschooled does not make you part of a marginalized group you’re not a minority wtf

quizzing kids to prove unschooling works makes no sense because public schools have high schoolers that can't read

School is set up as a training ground for accepting the conditions of capitalism. People have been conditioned to think that's a good thing though.

I am honestly curious about how you get a job if you’re unschooled. Do you get a GED?

"But it's important to socialize" If that's why you send your kid to school you might want to rethink that.

so what happens if a parent wants to unschool their child and sucks at it? does the child then suffer cus they had to rely on 1 person to teach them vs multiple in school?

I thought that school was to learn the baseline standard amount of knowledge the country wants people to know. Tho it varies how much that is actually achieved.
