Vouchers.

You're apparently talking vouchers to a private school. You're assuming that private schools do not have agendas, not to mention you're basically pre-supposing the continued existence of public schools (tax money from which would go to fund the vouchers). And, given the presence of tax money in the equation, you're also presupposing that there will be no strings attached to those funds.

Homeschool.

Fine, for those who can afford it, and who can actually do it. Which, these days, is not a terribly high proportion of the population.

Unschooling

Meaning...?

Unschooling

Meaning...?

Take at hazard one hundred children of several educated generations and one hundred uneducated children of the people and compare them in anything you please; in strength, in agility, in mind, in the ability to acquire knowledge, even in morality—and in all respects you are startled by the vast superiority on the side of the children of the uneducated.

— Count Leo Tolstoy, "Education and Children" (1862)
