Unschoolers — kids who undertake NO formal instruction or curriculum of any kind, and simply go about learning things they are self-motivated to research, test within a single grade level of their public school age peers.

Home schoolers do significantly better.

There aren’t any solutions to fix public schooling, any more than there are solutions to fix communism. They were set up as a culture destruction system from the get-go (First Native American Indian tribes’ culture, and then non-factory-work American independent ‘hand-crafting’ culture, then others...)

The unschooler data shows that if we abolished it we’d be no worse off as far as student outcomes, and we’d save trillions of dollars we’re wasting on maintaining a pretend fantasy that this relic artificial system is some kind of pillar for maintaining our civilization, when it’s actually a key factor in our destruction.

Trillions that could be spend delivering free internet learning to every child, and a huge private marketplace for learned instruction. We could be living the idealized dream of every Greek scholar with a ‘library of Alexandria’ containing every book ever written at our fingertips and the best private tutors for any subject on demand, but instead we’re putting transgendered imbeciles into women’s locker rooms to play injuryball, locking children into prison home rooms for the best part of their lives, and censoring everything except monetized product unpackaging videos and video-game livestreams like the brawndo-swilling simpletons of Idiocracy — all because brainwashed boomers tear up when they think back to kissing their first girlfriend behind the gym stands.
