And really like YouTube becomes the better teacher than mom or dad.
And so unschooling is really about embracing this whole idea of self-directed learning and saying that my kid is a self-directed learner and that I'm going to support that and nurture it.
I'm going to be their consultant instead.
Yeah.
And we're in this together.
And that's that's pretty much as as far as I can generalize on School and Debbie.
Well, some of the myths are true.
You know, they're not myths.
So for example, kids who don't learn to read until later, I I think teenagers would be a a pretty
strong exception, but definitely kids who don't learn to read at the the normal age, but instead they're
getting up into age seven, eight, nine, I mean, that freaks people out, right?
And those kids do exist.
And so it's not a myth.
But the myth is that they will be irrevocably damaged by this experience.
And the assumption is that when you look at that kid who didn't learn to read until until age eight, because that's when this kid got into Minecraft and all of a sudden decided, Oh my gosh, I have to be able to read all this stuff online to be able to, you know, participate in the world of Minecraft.
The myth is that that kid will be somehow categorically different.
At age fifteen,
from kids who were forced to read at the normal age.
And that's in my experience not true.
And in the unschooling world, there's no great, you know, cover up of of kids who, you know, can't learn to read or are permanently d disabled by this this early unschooling experience.
