Legacy school system is atrocious, yet some teachers do positive work.
Unschooling is a positive idea, yet some parents do an atrocious job. nostr:note197xhk75kkmcavghwcrf5gxcgmlw4rq69kdq2nfhj3d2ptdtqdqks8s02q9

Depends on where you live and the quality of your local schools.
My parents' advice: buy the house, or buy the school. We decided to go with a lesser home and buy the school.
This is also an effect of being lucky enough to have two good parents. I'm fortunate.
It depends on a whole lot of factors, sadly. The education world is unfair and corrupted. My point was really: the teacher makes the difference.
Unschooling can be wonderful or horrendous, so can schooling. The advantage of unschooling as a good invested parent is the control you get over the experience. The lack of corrupting…
Yeah but "corruption" is about as subjective as you get. School or no school, still the parents' responsibility to guide.
The parents’ job can become much harder due to what is happening at school. Truth is, it takes a village to raise a child.
I see corruption as all that goes against the intent. If the intent is to help a child achieve healthy growth and be ready to be a happy and productive member of society, anything that goes against this intent is corruption. Whether knowingly or not, gaslighting takes many forms.
Agreed. However I think the parents determine what qualifies as corruption regarding their child.
Yes, there are different opinions of what intent should be. Massively different at times. But also, many divergent opinions on how to achieve the intent (some, on the long term objectively more valid than others). The loop is endless, more and more divergences.
With a decentralized education protocol (one of my obsessions) you’d gravitate towards communities that share a similar vision of intent. Also, you’d rely on participants in the network to act as accreditators via multiple streams of assessment of effectiveness of teaching. Add web of trust to the equation and things get interesting…
The goal is to acquire skills and knowledge, everything else is, to me at least, a mean of control. I worked in private (publicly listed) education. It’s a horrendous world.
The past few days this old idea has been roaming my brain again. Maybe I should write a rocket on Nostrocket and at least put a more detailed vision out there. I need to rethink the economic model though, it was shitcoin based some weird proof of contribution thing. Need to also understand what is happening with Drivechains, and what could be done there. At least I am thinking about it again…
This sounds fascinating. If you do post something more formalized I'd be interested to read
