Great work Max!👏🏼

Excellent video! Thanks for your work! We've been unschooling our kids for 15 years now. It's a beautiful life. It's hard to see so many people stuck in the old way. Zapped ⚡!

I am glad to see that many other people are keeping their children out of the school of slavery. Keep up the good work @Max DeMarco your documentaries are awesome.

Great video man...thank you

Very cool Max! Going to look into A Place To be, unschooling & summerhill school. Do Rob and or Syliva have nostr?

Thank you @Max DeMarco for shining some light on on this topic of #unschooling and this great project @A Place To Be It's a great video. I really enjoyed it. View quoted note →

the traditional system churning out idiots (by design) desperately needs to be dismantled. this is an excellent preview into what’s possible

@npub1nges...crpt check this out.

thank you for sharing this

amazing

Ben Shapiro at 15 second not my cup of tea but will watch anyway because you are pretty good at this… but not a BS fan at all!! 😆

Thank you Max for making this video and raising awareness. FREE THE KIDS!!! Everyone, send some sats or donation to Max. And, please, get your kids out of the slavery system, if you can. If not, look into finding a way to do it. We have been doing this for 15 years. I have a mid twenties kid, very successful, and a 17 yr old who has never stepped foot in a school, very much free thinker. It is possible. You can do it. And the children will thrive.

The children will thrive ❤️🔥

thanks Rejon ❤️

15yrs nice 🔥

They will, absolutely! All the best to you guys at A Place To Be in building your community in Madeira. Maybe we will come visit some time, if we can! What is Madeira like in terms of freedom?

True unschooling does not mean unstructured learning, but rather learning structured around the student's passions and interests. View quoted note →

Were here

Its a pretty free place but still part of portugal - but there are people building here for the future @freemadeira etc. and more nostr/ bitcoin folks coming this year to help

I work in the educational system in Germany but with older kids like 16+ and I’m always shocked how dependent they are. They are like 19years old and ask me where to write down their task and if it’s okay to use squared paper instead of lined paper. And I’m always like “wtf, I don’t care, don’t even think about that irrelevant stuff”. It’s so sad to see that they just learn random things because teachers tell them to and they need to pass the exams. Actually, the curriculum sounds pretty good in Germany - in theory. Put practically, it’s a desaster. I teach languages and even though most of my classes have a centralized final exam to get their “school leaving qualification”which means I need to prepare them for this exam (so following a specific pattern for their text analysis for example) I always try my best to teach them content-related stuff they’ll need, e.g. our monetary system, current political decisions, critical thinking when looking at charts or reading newspaper articles even though this isn’t given specifically in the curriculum. But as I mentioned, the curriculum sounds great but everything in there is so vaguely phrased that you can basically do anything with them. Unfortunately, a lot of teachers stick to the topics that are given in the school books which is the common propaganda stuff you come across everywhere. I’ve never used text books because most of them are just rubbish.

Hey Kiwi super interesting to learn about the german system, Sylvia is german and will get her to reply to you when she finishes swimming with the kids ❤️

This is fabulous!!

Schools are day prisons for kids where they are indoctrinated with the ideology of the Govt of the day. Taught what to think, not how to think. Humanity is relying on homeschooling for its future!

🫂🤙

Agreed 💯

Oh thank you so much for shining a light on one of the alternatives for our children. It's awesome. 👏👏👏 I definitely need to make a lil video (no where near this level of professional) of our story, transitioning from public school, to distance ed, to #homeschool, to #unschooling and #worldschooling. Living abroad 12 years and travelling the last 3.5years 🤩🙏🏼🫶

It only takes one really good teacher to save a kid. I was lucky to have one in the fifth grade.

This. ☝️Educational systems are bad for the most part, you as a parent and one, or few good teachers are there to make the difference. Isolating a kid from wider society can be more harmful to the kid later.

You're so on point about textbooks. Why do they even exist? Hadn't properly thought about this before. What's that all about?... I think I've got it - making a textbook is pretty much saying the following: "Let me put everything you need to know about this subject in one book for you." Which is saying: "I know hold the absolute truth on this subject" and "The best way to present this information is in one book." Nobody so delusional should ever be providing information for children. Write a book and put your name on it like a reasonable human being. Stop hiding behind acronym-named companies that shouldn't even exist.

Great video. Would love for this setup start becoming available to parents across the world. Thanks for your work on this.

I was lucky to be a pain-in-the-arse kid who simply didn't see the teachers as any authority at all. I feel bad for some kids who really wanted to please authority and never got a single good teacher. Then again, I also feel bad for myself because having an authority you can actually respect and trust to care for you is healthy. Don't think I had one.

Great video dude! Are you a fan of Jon Gomm...? Just wondering seeing your guitar playing style

Yes 🤙 I rekkt quite a lot of strings figuring out how he plays lol

Yeah we believe it’s desperately needed for our future generations
