As an adult after being a schooled kid. I wish my parents had the time to homeschool me, they would have been good at it, but they both worked full time just to put food on the table and a roof over our heads. I hated school, the teachers, the uniform, the conformity, the bullies, the greyness of it all. Did you have a good experience? Are you considering unschooling/homeschooling?

Not considering currently. My school experience was not great but also wasn’t too terrible. I was never bullied, though there have been assholes here and there. I hated the classrooms. That being said, I think some of the experience may have been necessary and even useful. Dealing with unpleasantness in itself is a useful life skill.
Schools are run by the state. I know plenty of parents, teachers and pupils who would all rather private education. Life has plenty of unpleasantness even without school. Homeschooling is a luxury and I understand why people accept “free” state schools.
