Never occurred to me that someone could read a book about the local public school system.

Antiauthoritarian parenting
Free range parenting
Unconditional parenting
Punished by rewards
Partnership vs domination
consent-based education vs coercive
student-led education

Is #gameb aligned with this?

I'm taking it :)

Probably relevant: "love is that which enables choice" by Forrest Landry

But. What about boundaries? Where to put boundaries? How to set boundaries?

Encourage but don't push

Parents: a shared state of confusion. And guilt. And shame.

Processing your trauma: hard to do once you have children. Parents need (and lack) support groups.

And another dimension: the strain that children put on relationships, and little time to process them. Lots of relationships break up when children arrive. Difficult to find people to talk about it. Again, support groups.

Integrate children in more of life.

Great approach to accepting homeoffice with children: "this is life". Allow children to be in the background of work calls, screaming. This is life.

#gameb community is actually generally quite understanding.

You best learn french in France, but to learn math where do you go?

I can recommend this playlist:

Give them the tools they need and trust them 100% that they will learn.

Sudbury schools

Also interesting concept: unschooling cooperative

The fixed size, and age of classrooms does seem absurd.

Retreat centers should include kids.

Adjacent possible: start having gatherings with local parents.
We have to relearn to dwell in the local.

Let's not forget how #covid has made parents' life harder.

Maybe there's a tradeoff between efficient learning and self-motivation.

Grades as a form of manipulation.

What does it mean to force someone to do something?

Environment is important: if you're surrounded by others passionate about learning...

Homeschooling illegal in Germany ☹️
Hope situation is better in Switzerland

If you ask questions about the very room you are in you have learning possibilities/material for the rest of your life.
