I was hesitant to try #Homeschool with my children but I am in my second year now and I am glad I tried. Indoctrination is more powerful that you think. Protect your children from it.

I have kids, it is illegal to home school where I live and I have F.O.M.O. everytime I see the posibilities being denied to the masses.
I have to reflect back on the Michael Saylor and Robert Breedlove series that was very good. Listening to Michael Saylor speak is good. The problem is how many out of context operations are passed to steer the thinking of Fiat slaves like me.
We're #unschooling #worldschooling around the world with our four children... 1 is a typical boy teen right now, not sure of his direction but he wants an online business, 1 is my girl teen, struggles with anxiety but is a very talented artist, she read over 70 books this year and is learning multiple languages. 1 is an 8yo, never set foot in a classroom, could swim before he could walk, does crazy math in his head, codes and is building games... and the little is almost 3. She can count in three languages, knows a bit of four languages, and is just amazing to watch as she learns. Parents don't even realise they are being robbed of the opportunity to witness their children learn when they send their most precious treasures to classrooms. If I could do anything differently it would be I never would've sent the first two to school at all (they were only there about 3 years and it was a waste of time) πŸ’―πŸ™Œ

How do you nurture their curiosity? Is it mostly online-based? I imagine traveling constricts the amount of physical tools you are bringing (e.g. instruments, toys, etc.)
Curiosity = life outside. We explore ancient ruins, climb mountains, play in the sand, experience real life Typhoons, weather events, snow. We see real life nature and talk about real life politics, war, governments, peace and people. Kids use online tools when they like to. My 8yo used Scratch for coding, now wants to progress to something else 🀩 My 15 year old references online images for her art which she prefers to draw with pencil, or paint. Teens use duolingo for languages... It's a real mix. Self led learning is all about letting go of directive authoritarian structured learning and allowing for children to experience and find what lights them up. 😍
