Unschooling Around 20 years ago, on my first day of school, I know everything that students in my village school learn in the first year. I learn all that at my home in my preschool days. Although I know everything, I spent my whole year learning same blah blah stuff because of my class fellows. This is not just first-year story. In my school days, I face this issue a lot of the time. Lot of new things that I can easily learn in a day or two, because of this schooling system, I spent weeks and month on that. Let me tell you another side of the story, one of my nephew study in a well-reputed school in our local town. He is intelligent and performs well in almost all subject other than Math. If a normal student learns a math concept in a week, he may need a month to learn that. But the school can't wait for them, school teach them with class no matter he learned that concept fully or not, they will promote them. This is just one reason, there are hundred and thousand reason why we should not send our children to school. We need to understand that no one in the world can teach our children better than us. If you need guidance at any point there is google, youtube, Quora, TEDx and hundreds of other sources to learn from.
