Children spend their entire childhoods in captivity and then society expects them to magically be independent just because they turn 18. Unschooling equips children with personal responsibility that they need to survive & thrive on their own.
“I feel ashamed that so many of us cannot imagine a better way to do things than locking children up all day in cells instead of letting them grow up knowing their families, mingling with the world, assuming real obligations, striving to be independent and self-reliant and free.” ~ John Taylor Gatto
