You have to put your kids in school. Is that true, though? Why? #shortsfeed #shortsvideo #shorts

Stop for a moment, really pause, and ask yourself – why are we sending our children to school? Is that an irrefutable axiom of our society, or is it a widely accepted assumption that hasn't been critically analyzed? It is high time we scrutinize this norm.

Survey our society today – does it not strike you that people appear to be discontent, not at their happiest or healthiest? This begs the question, are we really doing right by our kids, by our society, by sticking to a traditional, possibly antiquated, approach to education? Or should we be daring enough to try something different, something that might better serve our children and our future?

Unschooling, a radical, child-centered approach to learning, offers that 'something different.' It fundamentally challenges our conventional wisdom about education. Instead of forcing children into a standardized curriculum, unschooling allows them to follow their own interests, their own curiosity, and their own pace. It nurtures intrinsic motivation, fostering an innate love for learning that can remain far beyond the years of formal schooling.

Sure, this may seem like uncharted territory to some, but look around again – our current path does not seem to be leading us to happiness or health. Perhaps, it is time to take the road less traveled.

It is time to genuinely question, 'why, why are we doing this?' and consider the possibility that unschooling might just be the change we need.
