We’re unschooling. No curriculum. Self led. We facilitate. Basically the curriculum is trash and totally outdated (not all schools but the majority). So we don’t have to spend 12 years subjecting our kids to irrelevant learning (& hopefully have inspired our children to love learning - I think the books they read are proof it’s working) 🤞 Sharing a love of learning is educational for both the parent and the student. And yes, I agree, in some cases the home could be the prison ❤️. I read a book called Educated by Tara Weston and that was powerfully written from a person whose home education was not what we would like to see in the world. However, she still managed to find her way in a very inspiring way. We don’t get to choose our parents and I don’t think any parent is perfect (definitely not me)… we simply do the best we can with the tools and skills we have and hope to do better as we grow 🌱 And hopefully, most of us, can forgive and find compassion for parents, and learn as much as possible for our own children 🧡

You’re right, the good news is most of this is genetic and the kids will be fine regardless of what they live through within reason. Good luck with your “clean slate” experiment - sincerely hope it works out for you all!
