Notes on Deschooling

just some notes that were taken during the discussions:

when people say "a genius can cope with the school system" we should think of the fact that actually we're all genius (at least 98% of all small children) but school takes it from us...

school institution: no fair system, often a lot of "torture" involved

lessons are completely disconnected, too short, too fast and without time to take the information in and think critically about it

does the legal system give us opportunities not to go to school? --> very difficult in Germany

there are possibilities to choose kindergarden and freer schools

degrowth: many people have a lot of knowledge that they could share --> develop a different understanding of education? more relationship based? new ways of distribution? create own certification and ways of learning?

interesting: homeschoolers are often very well educated and are able to think in more creative and holistic ways

schools are still designed for industrialisation, for growth and don't encourage critical thinking at all, pupils just have to function
