Alternative/Homeschooling: Thoughts? (lemmy.ml)

So at least my perspective in the UK is rough: endless burnt-out teachers resorting to escalating punitive measures to control kids being raised on landlordism, misogyny, etc. that makes me fear the kind of environment id be exposing a future kid to.

Of course, homeschooling and alternative education is stigmatised across the political sphere, whether it's for legitimate reasons or otherwise. As socialists you also get exposed to a lot of critiques of so-called traditional school systems.

Do any parents here (or otherwise) have experience with homeschooling, or stuff like montessori, democratic schools, etc?

I went to Montessori breifly, at about four years old. For some reason they decided my motor skills weren't good enough so I got singled out to do nothing but sort buttons all day. When I cried about it I just got told to learn to cry quietly, then sat down for half an hour and told 'no, you had a good day' before being picked up. 0/10 do not recommend.
