Self-directed learning journey | What is learning from the kindergarten dropout tide?

If a friend asks me, "What does your daughter usually do? Are there any lessons for her?" (Actually, I've been asked this question for a long time), I will answer them and say, "...

Recently, it has been reported that many kindergarten parents choose to drop out of school for their children, especially the "students" of class N (preschool). Of course the most nervous is the kindergarten principal, because this will greatly affect their "group" income.

For a long time, the problem with our school children's education has been to force (force) children to learn things too early to learn things that they did not need to learn when they were growing up. Before the small muscles are fully developed, they need to learn to write, and they also need to learn to write a lot of strokes. Before they can walk steadily, they have to run, and when they can run, they have to jump the hurdles. In short, there is only one purpose, that is, the children cannot lose at the starting line. The question is, who sets these starting lines? How many people win at the starting line but lose at the finish line?

In ancient times, before the age of eight, nine or even ten, the main "learning" of children was to play, play, and play. The name "Kindergarten Kindergarten" first appeared in Germany. In 1837, a German educator named Froebel founded a game activity organization in Bad Blankenburg, the Principality of Swabian, Germany. This is the first kindergarten in the world. Please note that at that time kindergarten was a place for children to play, which is different from the function of modern kindergarten.

Everyone is born with curiosity. This is God's wonderful creation. Curiosity motivates a person to learn naturally (self-consciously), to pursue all kinds of knowledge and skills he wants to know. Don't worry at all that they won't learn automatically.

By the way, I recommend a few good books for parents and educators: "Thurs Valley at a Glance: A Little Bit of Independent Schools in America"   , "Flip Education with Self-Learning! Sergu School without Timetables and Scores", "Segu - the most suitable educational model for the future", "Self-directed learning", "Learning only by playing" .

Since my daughter quit the mainstream education system and started to study independently, we have learned a lot together, experienced a lot, and grown up a lot. There are still relatives and friends who have many question marks and worry out of concern. Worrying about our daughter's future. How can I go to college without going back to school? What will you do if you don't go to college? Can you support yourself in the future?

We don't worry about that. Who says you can only learn if you go back to school? Who says you have to go to college to support yourself?

Today, she is exploring various possibilities in DeSchooling. In the eyes of some people, she may feel that she is a "waste youth" who has nothing to do every day and has no life goals. But in fact, she is growing up healthily, learning happily, and living hard every day.

The new generation of kids, who are playing video games, watching YouTube, watching Netflix, surfing the Internet a lot or doing things that interest them, are actually learning, and really enjoying learning. Parents are not about regulating them (preventing them from learning happily), but about guiding them, encouraging them, admiring them, and accompanying them as they grow.

If a friend asks me, "What does your daughter usually do? Are there any lessons for her?" (Actually, I've been asked this question for a long time), I will answer them and say, "There are no rules. She wants to do Whatever. Recently, she will sketch portraits, and then cast them into NFTs. When she is interested, she will record Cover and put it on YouTube. This is her latest Cover, please like, share, leave a message and subscribe, thank you for your support and encouragement! "😄 😉
