  • Children have no reason to lie about anything it's older people that have incomes and reputations who want to hide things.

  • Exactly, children are probably the most truthful people out there, and often they get punished or demeaned for their honesty.

  • Agreed.

  • @DrBakshandeh I have come to accept that there are two reasons why people lie. One is that they are tricky and cannot be trusted and the other and more common is that they cannot trust you with the truth. Children often cannot trust adults to be patient, nonviolent or understanding of their mistakes.

  • Fantastic video. Even if schools did mix people from different backgrounds (and you are correct that they largely do not) they would be mediocre; it would amount to social engineering, a blunt and immoral solution to a complex problem. When I briefly went to school different groups segregated anyway; richer pupils associated with each other, boys with boys, etc. And anyone who could not find a group were ostracised and bullied. I have not seen this amongst home-educators, let alone unschoolers.
