public education vs home schooling

the unsettling reality of public education is that many schools are designed with physical barriers that are eerily similar to those found in prisons. high gates, automatic locking doors, and surveillance systems are becoming the norm, creating an environment that prioritizes control over freedom.

it's not just about the way it looks, it's about the message it sends to students. that they're not trustworthy, that they need to be constantly supervised, that their autonomy is a threat to be controlled. this is not okay. we need to rethink the way we approach public education, prioritize student centered learning, empathy, and understanding over punitive measures and restrictive environments.

homeschooling can be a powerful way to break free from the restrictive and controlling environment of traditional public schools. by taking control of your child's education, you can provide a more personalized, flexible, and nurturing learning experience that prioritizes their unique needs and interests. ditch the standardized tests, the rigid schedules, and the constant surveillance. give your child the gift of autonomy, creativity, and self-directed learning. homeschooling is not for everyone, but for those who have the means and capability, it can be a liberating and empowering choice.
