Some days ago I posted news about new attacks on unschooling in my country. I hoped it was just the only case....but no. It was just the start.
Now new regions and new authorities post in media more and more info about terrible situation with unschooling and DANGER for such kids.
In the big city of Novorossiysk about 500 kids get knowledge having unschooling form of education. The number of them rise from year to year (and it touches ALL regions). Last year the number was 200. Twice more now!!
The rest of the article was written so illiterately, with awful mistakes touching the essence of things! Either the author of the article isn't aware of unschooling topic at all, or our authorities really don't understand what they write, and what they do..
Now I will show you some screenshots with translation.
Teachers examine such students at the end of each month, at the end of a quarter or half a year, it is the choice of the school itself.
FALSE. It's just a choice of a family! And btw unschooling families do NOT have any exams till the end of the 9th form. Personally I've chosen this very way of education.
NO schools. No exams. No system. As long as possible.
parents control the children, and teachers are assigned to the student, who appoint consultations for students
FALSE.
Recently, the results of a study by Moscow State Pedagogical University - Moscow City University - on the topic of family education were published. The majority of parents (74%) to the question: “Could you teach your children at home on your own?” answered NO. They claim that it is extremely difficult.
Yes, it's not easy at all, and not all parents can do it, but those who understand WHY and FOR WHAT they do it - they can. They will find and create all possible ways just to keep their kid far from system "education".
It happens very often that parents need to hire subject tutors. And this thoroughly hits the parent's pocket.
LOL.😅 School parents do the same! ALL schoolkids have tutors from the 1st form!!! And I know it for sure. Otherwise, they can't get good marks at school. And they go their exactly to get good marks, not knowledge.
Another disadvantage of learning at home is the low level of socialization. Unschooling kid is more closed, isolated from the world of his peers, less talkative, it is often difficult for him to speak in public. And of course, he has no team experience.
FALSE.FALSE.FALSE.
And it was proved dozens of times by many families and many kids.
My own kid is a bright example of the opposite case.
He has never attended kindergartens or schools, but he is SUPER active, communicative and has no problems with friends or speaking to other people in public.
Also, unschooling decomposes discipline, makes adjustments to the daily routine.
WTF? Just stupid arguments.
Another important factor is the weakening of the immune system. When a child is at home for a long time, his resistance to viruses disappears.
😅😅😅Just no comments again.
Is unschooling kid prisoned at home? What are they talking about??
This article has created real BOUM in society.
Parents are outraged, and they rise the wave of support among all unschooling families in the country, asking them not to keep silent but say loud about their rights and wishes.
WE're stronger TOGETHER💚
It truly is the same everywhere. After your last post on the subject, I asked my adoptive mother about the various homeschooling battles in the US. Homeschooling (and, by extension, unschooling) is constitutionally protected here as well, but various jurisdictions have attempted to stop it, and the excuses offered are almost identical to the ones you listed.
no country needs "different" people that are out of control
some years there was no pressure for unschooling families, at least such a vivid one, but now it has been activated again
If the parents are knowledgeable enough to facilitate at home, I think there's nothing wrong about homeschooling.
we all think the same, but the system has another opinion...
Oh that's so sad to know.
This was what happened during lockdowns when no-one was allowed contact with each other. It's funny how they are now using it to claim it's a problem for homeschooling children, when it never was before.
They mix unschooloing with a prison where a kis will be transformed to a stupid monkey. better to say not mix but they try to show it like this, in fact they all know that it's much better than schools, and it's the only reason to fight with it. Facepalm.
