This is an offshoot of the hoomeschooling movement which is gaining support. There are differing views on it, but it's essentially a detox of the public school experience before going on to homeschooling, rather than making the transition immediately and abruptly.

It seems to be most beneficial to children who have been subjected to extensive bullying and/or unfair teachers.

This is one reason to deschool. Another is if you have a very gifted child, and they seriously need some down time, Or you will lose them all together. Usually, there IS some homeschooling involved.

There is an excellent book by Grace Llewellyn, called the "Teenage Liberation Handbook", or "How to Quit School and Get a Real Education".

She recommends a "vacation" after withdrawing from school, as a "detox" mechanism.

Just imagine.....learning w/o ritalin pushers, homosexual pushers, Marxism pushers, "diversity" pushers, "sensitivity" pushers, destruction of boys' aspirations. No wonder there is so little time devoted to core subjects such as grammar, math, history, science. The education system in USA has descended into and has become racketeering.
