I'm totally not. No, again, I want to super stress this point. I have zero opinions on how other people should raise their kids other than love them, feed them and don't hit them. My kid goes to government school now. Not everyone is capable of homeschooling their kids. Some people aren't smart enough. Some people aren't patient enough. Some people just don't have the time.
Yeah, I think it probably is. It depends on specifically what you're talking about, because there's so many different kinds of private schools. But I think the beauty of private schools is that you could pick something that's a good fit for your kid. I think I would have really excelled at a Montessori school as a child, but a lot of kids wouldn't.

Montessori Method is from Maria Montessori and it's all about child directed learning, collaborative play. It's meeting kids where they are and having them captain the ship, albeit with a lot of adult guidance. And guidance is a good word for it because the teachers are usually not called teachers, they're called guides. Anyone who's spent a lot of time around kids knows they're super curious.

It's always like kid asked me. How do I see things the other day? That's awesome. Adults don't ask questions like that. And people are laughing like, but do you know how I see things? I do now because I watched a YouTube video on it.

Yeah, thank God for YouTube so that we can actually answer these questions. I think Holt was right, though. I think government school kind of just whips this out of kids by making learning really boring. I think I would have done really well at a Montessori school because I was a super self-directed kid.

But my kid, that wouldn't have been the ideal environment for him because he's not really much like what I was like as a kid.

Yeah, a girlfriend of mine did that. They have some kind of unorthodox ideas about child development, like she didn't learn how to read until she was 8.

It's a whole thing with them. I don't think it's bad necessarily. In her case it worked out. She could not spell to save her life, but she did read more than any other human being I've ever known in my life. And she's a really good artist and they're really very arts focused. So those are the two that I know the most about.
