Education is the true wealth we have. School (although it has its place,) doesn't really provide the full honest learning our kids need. It is not the teachers, but the curriculum at fault. Schools are asked to indoctrinate kids in all manner of aspects. Such as in the UK with the crazy Prevent scheme or in some countries where you have to sing the national song every morning, or in religious schools that omits teaching certain facts. Its all CRAZY THE WORLD IS RUN BY CRAZY PEOPLE!!!!
Especially if you have kids or are a teacher. If you have a child that finds it hard to concentrate or gets bored with front of class teachers then maybe he/she is a potential genius and needs to be removed from school and asked what they want to do that will help them enjoy and retain the Math or science or art subjects that they are currently finding hard to engage with in the classroom. In the age of the internet and social media school seems so Archaic and out dated. With the coming AI evolution a well educated population following their interests and reaching their full potential as a human being will be a great world to live in.

That is so encouraging to hear. Their are many many examples of home schooling success stories. You are a inspiration for alternatives to state schools.
