RE: Kids Learn Naturally. Why Compulsory Schooling is Unneccessary and Even Harmful (A "Case Study" with My Son)
Wonderful article.
I can speak from experience as well that natural, spontaneous education (without 'schooling') is exponentially more effective. It's certainly scary at first, as all 'unknowns' tend to be (although realizing that zero credible evidence exists to suggest schooling is 'known' to work), but over time the results are truly amazing. Everyone who meets my 8yo, without exception, comments on how intelligent he is.
Thanks for this encouraging comment. Yes, it really is amazing to think what the world would look like if all young people were afforded the opportunity (which should be the default!) that you have afforded your son. Kids are naturally bright and ready--hungry, even--to learn. Hearing from others even farther down the path than I am is a breath of fresh air. Thank you!
