RE: I'm A Voluntaryist And I Sent My Kids To Public School

in #anarchism8 years ago (edited)

I also had to make the hard choice to send my kids aged 4,6&13 to a government indoctrination center(school for those that don't get it). It was very hard for me and they have been going for four days now and they tell me they like it. I was forced to do this because I have to get work and I cannot homeschool or unschool them the way I have the previous two years. Also, I just moved to South Carolina and they have very stiff homeschooling laws

I am weighing options at the moment but if I didn't enroll them, I would risk men with guns trying to find out why and somebody could get hurt. Under a better system, you and I would have more options, but we do not currently live under a better system. I believe myself to be a voluntaryist/anarchocapatalist and I am in the fight for less/no government interferance but until we win that fight, there is little to be done.
Keep posting updates, I will follow you and support you any way I can. My 13 year old stepdaughter has aspberger symptoms and a lot of sensory issues which she seems to be growing out of thank god. It has been a tough road to travel and it's still pretty rough dealing with her sometimes but I love her as my own and one day maybe she will believe that.
Thank you for sharing.

I appreciate your upvote and your well thought out reply. We may not get the world we are hoping for in our lifetime, but maybe we can at least lay the positive groundwork so our children can experience it.

I wish you the best in your endeavors and I hope you will be able to find a safe and viable way to get your kids back home and out of the school. I have you on follow and again, my wife and I appreciate your kind words and thoughts.
