i did the whole self directed online learning thing cut 4 years off normal k12 education time but i definitely think counterfactual me would be a better communicator overall some hybrid is probably in order

It would probably help if adults weren't forcibly separated from children for most of the day.
-
i agree in some sense but i think a lot of key modalities are locked behind healthy amounts of p2p communication -- just having adults around won't be enough

Age-segregation is a very bad model for that, though. Older kids should be mentoring younger ones. Firewalling all the 5 year olds together so they only interact with each other (and a few 90 IQ adults) etc. is a terrible thing.
-
true. properly done self directed learning could open up those opportunities, but it'd be very conditional on the properly done part. not sure which method would be more robust against lazy parenting / teaching tbh
-
All the 'homeschoolers/unschoolers' I know send their kids to cooperative spaces (eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudbury_school …) at least part-time, or have really big families. State schools are harmful by design, it's not laziness that's the problem.
-
But the reason those cooperatives work is because of family involvement -- without that (which is relatively common if you're trying to implement this as a general policy) I'm not certain if they'd be better than the terrible govt substitutes
-
Not sure what you're arguing with and I'm going to tap out of this now.

the justification is every time "school is not about learning" and that is such a great admission even though not the way they think. robin hanson intensifies, etc

First kid is getting old enough that I feel some need to explain why she won’t be going to school to other parents. But when I stop to think about it *they’re* the ones whose choice stands in need of serious explanation not mine
