For all that say unschooling is brainwashing it's really not. I wish I was unschooled. . . public education has a few benefits but they're mostly social. I went through public education, the quality of my work/time/effort in public education is so minimal, I have no real prized work from anything I did in school. I did NOT save any of my research papers & ect as they may have recieved As or Bs, they did not change the world or were even interesting/original. Teachers suck these days. . .

Yes, you really show what a good, solid education accomplishes.

What grade are you in right now? Third? Fourth?

You write like a third grade level at least.

No capitalization, incorrect and missing punctuation, spelling errors, lack of basic word comprehension and an inconsistent, rambling train of thought.

Yes! A shining example of what the public schools are churning out.

I'm sure you will be a great "preformer", whatever that is.

Thank you for proving their (not "there") point.

thats retarded lol (im really laughing) people need to go to school or at least be homeschooled! i mean im not that fond of school but i go through it because i am planning my future and i want my future to be a strong one. But if some retarded parents want there kids to be stupid and have no future then let them do that. and for any job you have to go to schooleven if you are a hot dog man. -one day i want to be a preformer

@Aresftfun Yeah. I saw the movie.... it is pretty ridiculous and illustrates why youth need some kind of liberation.... or at least they need to know it's okay to go against their parents.

[Aresftfun]

@UnschoolingEagle No I haven't. I've heard of it. It shows this one lady brainwashing children in mass groups in one point in the film, I think.

[UnschoolingEagle]

@Aresftfun Did you ever watch the movie Jesus Camp?

[Aresftfun]

@UnschoolingEagle That is true, but more in the south. I live in the north so it's not a large problem, but I also live in the most religious state, arguably.

[UnschoolingEagle]

@Aresftfun Believe me, I know. They are essentially indoctrinating and brainwashing their children. Sadly that is what many home-schooling parents do. Don't make the mistake though of thinking public school doesn't indoctrinate and brainwash the youth itself. Why do you think there is such a blind defense of schools and government?

[Aresftfun]

@UnschoolingEagle There are fundamentalist mormons and christians home-schooling because they don't want their kids to learn about evolution. Of course not all do that.
