What are people's thoughts on homeschooling/unschooling here anyway? I dunno about financial logistics but the methodology seems sound

Our founding fathers were all classically educated, and I think of them whenever I think of 'great minds'

So it has to be some kind of healthy learning methodology

@Beemann It completely depends on the parents. I was homeschooled and I have a few mixed feelings on it, however I think I would've done worse in a public school.

Public school fxcked me up for life

Or rather, set me back a lot

Unschooling goes a little further, and basically focuses on where the child is motivated to learn

The argument being that school turns learning into a chore, which is true tbh

Yeah I would have much rather learned backwards. Be tasked with substantive things, and then be taught afterwards about it

Tbh I'm starting to think that being a moderately successful (financially) country with relatively low population density is the optimal way to do things

Low(ish) land costs, easier to start a small business

Just make sure you have an ambiguous number of WMDs and you can largely avoid mass conflict

Going back to the education, I would have liked participating in that experiment they did in (Arizona?) where a whole class was formed from teenage volunteers and put on a ranch

They organized the living arrangement amongst themselved

Assigned jobs and roles to one another

And underwent classical education

Nice

One of the jobs was managing the huge walk-in freezer I think

Was a cool setup

They had no contact with the "outside world" for months

No electricity besides for the essentials

But yeah re: unschooling in general, one of my subscribed podcasts is based around it

So I was curious about it

I started listening because the topics and guests seemed neat

@Beemann Anything yet from Blonde about our little project?

Nay

I should’ve asked when I was on the Colin show.

Call in

Voice to text hates southern accents

Who the hell is Colin?

Say call in with a southern accent.

Nice

I had a cousin that moved to Tennessee for a couple of years. Despite the fact that for his entire life he'd had the normal, complete lack of accent like everyone else from Texas, he came back talking like a cowboy.

Colon show

Matt's favorite

I don't know what that means, but it sounds really gross.

Lol

Is anyone interested in a political server made up of libertarians and trannies who are conservative?

I'm trying to make the mix less degen

Lol

@RoadtoDawn or @ReonenMiruel#7964?
