In Episode 86, we explore the impossibly bad state of mainstream education and why it has never been more vital for parents to cease the outsourcing of their child’s learning to state run institutions. With an emphasis on conformity over curiosity, schools today offer nothing of value to those seeking to raise free thinking and critically thinking adults. For many parents, this isn’t just a minor issue; it’s a direct threat to their children’s intellectual freedom and personal development. The consequences of handing off our kids to the education (see indoctrination) system have never been more apparent then they are in 2024. The only way to protect our children from this toxic system is, of course, to begin unschooling our kids and educating them at home once more. Or in our own parallel communities. But this is a big step with many hurdles to overcome, which is why this week’s guest is Brett Pike. Brett is someone who is not only homeschooling his own children, but thousands of other’s also through his online resources. In the show Brett shares insights on why education has become one of the most important battlegrounds for anyone who values freedom and independence—and why stepping away from traditional schooling is the best way to prepare children for a future of true autonomy and resilience.
