The world is changing so quickly that outdated schooling methods are no longer relevant and exciting for our kids. Before the Industrial Revolution, all children were homeschooled. They lived with their parents and learned everything from their families and generations. With a few exceptions, schools have become an authoritative place to herd kids into thinking the world works only in one way and that all they need to do to be successful is get good grades and be obedient. The reality is far from it. Critical thinking and logic are often ignored in favor of convenience for the school system. In this video, I explain why I choose to home/world school my kids and share tips for parents who want to improve their children's education, even if homeschooling isn’t an option for them.
