There are so many reasons to unschool. The most challenging part of writing this post was summarizing such vast numbers of reasons. Anyway, here it goes.

1. Reduce The Power Of The Parasite Class
School is mandatory for lots of reasons and every one of them works towards the objective of maintaining the power of the tiny minority that rules the globe (parasite class, scientific dictatorship, oligarchy, NWO, occultocracy, ruling class, etc.)
How does public schooling harm children and maintain the power of the parasite class? In my opinion, the key aspect here is that a child learns obedience to authority in school. School is literally an indoctrination center used to train young minds into authoritarianism. Such training makes the population much easier to manage for the ruling class.
Let’s take a look at the sheer number of hours a child is forced to spend in school. On average, a child in the USSA will spend about 15,000 hours in school from kindergarten through high school graduation. That’s nearly 2 years! (and that’s if they went to school non-stop for 15,000 hours straight, you get the point)
And who do they spend these 15,000 hours with and doing what exactly? Is that much time really necessary to teach reading, writing, math, science, and a little (skewed) history? Gimme a break. The schooling system has been formed by psychologists, social engineers, corporations, and bureaucrats. And to what end? To train docile, obedient people who will be dependent cogs in the centrally planned global economy.
Another aspect that is key to the control maintained by the occultocracy is information gathering and manipulation. Remember all of those standardized tests we took in school? (and I know there are more now). Do you honestly believe that those records just go on the trash heap after a few years? I think a more logical conclusion seems to be that the data is used to form part of the personal/psychological profile for each individual in the cybernetic control grid that is being built.

And also read about the Dept. of Defense’s (War Department) influence on “education” @

After combing through those 2 resources and connecting the dots, then I’m confident that we’ll share common ground in our conclusions.
There are too many other details to get into just on this one reason not to school your child. So let’s move on…..
2. Give your child the opportunity for personal growth mentally and emotionally.
Children learn quite naturally. They are naturally curious. Learning at home presents a much more relaxed environment where they can study what interests them. They also aren’t subjected to a fixed timetable like they are in schools. Imagine, a bell rings in school, and then you have to stop thinking about the current subject and are forced to think about some other subject! Absurd!
Schools also train young minds into certain beliefs, such as “global warming”, “statism”, “survival of the fittest”, etc. Hmmmm, do any public schools teach anarchy or any other philosophies that don’t revolve around dogma and authoritarianism? Not that I know of. The point is that by self-directed learning, children can choose from a much broader spectrum of ideas without all the biased rhetorical garbage that is force-fed in public schools.
Schools also make children memorize disconnected facts (and theories). If the child regurgitates the facts and theories, they are rewarded. If not, they are punished. They’re trained through this reward and punishment method, called operant conditioning, to expect an external reward every time they “learn” something. There’s no learning just for the sake of knowledge. Operant conditioning also dulls the imagination. Who would think outside the box if there’s no reward, right? At least, not after 15,000 hours of training…..
Critical thinking skills are also severely lacking in public schools. Did you ever use the Trivium Method in school? I know I didn’t. I didn’t even know what the Trivium was until I discovered Richard Grove’s Tragedy and Hope Media.

What about emotional well-being? Peer pressure is a terrible thing to be subjected to, especially at a young age. Bullying can definitely cause emotional trauma that has long lasting effects. Also, learning at home provides an environment to develop responsibility, confidence, self-respect, and self-reliance. Which brings us to our third reason to “unschool”.
3. Give your child a greater opportunity to achieve an independent livelihood.
Children who are educated at home (or engage in self-directed learning) have a high rate of creative and entrepreneurial pursuits when they reach adulthood. Don’t believe me. Check out this study @
https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/peter-gray-unschooling-surveys.pdf
In the study, they found an astonishingly high rate (well over half) of home educated people went on to creative and/or entrepreneurial pursuits.
Do schools teach independence? No, they train people to be dependent and to conform. How? Simple. Children are trained that their success or failure is dependent on the reaction of the authority figure (teacher).
There are numerous other reasons to home educate, but it’s far too vast for such a short blog post. Here are some other education related resources which I’ve found useful and valuable.
