Unschooling TikTok Trend - What the Heck Is Going On With These Moms | Influencer Idiocracy

[@MentalAmanda]

💖Let me know if you liked this new series! I'd love to do more! No matter where you are in your journey, you have a safe place here to share your struggles and accomplishments without judgment, but please make sure you are having that same respect and non-judgment for others too. This is how we shatter the mental health stigma.💖

To be honest, seeing drama just worsens my mental health. I’d stick to reacting to Linkin Park, BMTH, FFDP, SHINEDOWN, Three Days Grace and NF. There’s plenty of demo’s and instrumental stuff on Meteora 20th to reacting to.

Can you imagine these kids applying to colleges. I had a teacher in Puerto Rico for 3 years like Dan. Still to this day, I remember everything about her class. That was 30+ years ago. Nancy Lee, you were the best teacher ever.

Considering the amount of very disruptive children in my school in general, home schooling would have given me peace and quiet to learn and study. The only problem was I liked science and ‘majored’ in it a high school. This would mean not having a laboratory to do practicals in.

The girl in the second clip has a really good point. I think one of the too many to mention issues is a lot of parents don't have the time or resources to help their kids round out their education and self-discovery the way they could in the past. Schools can't attend to individualization and teach core subjects.

[@MentalAmanda]

As I said, I think homeschooling can work great, but yes, I agree that most parents either don't prioritize their kids (they'd rather scoll TikTok) or they genuinely don't have the time or resources. School should teach core subjects, yes, but can find creative ways to do so that it isn't only adhering to one personality type.

This is actually a thing? This is illegal in my country and I can't fathom that it's not illegal there. Like you said, a good parent can be involved and do these things like baking or whatever and encouraging their children's interests without not letting them be educated. This should be a crime.

[@Joemama55122]

Being against homeschooling is quite strange most homeschooled people are way more well adjusted and actually remember the things they learn

[@MentalAmanda]

As I said in the video, homeschooling can be beneficial for some kids. Unschooling and homeschooling aren't the same by a long shot.

[@sarahnbrandon7811]

Brandon here, not trying to be negative, just wanted to say I went to both Public school and even a continuation school (for behavior problems) and I knew a couple kids my age who were home schooled and they had noticeable social issues and the parents were convinced that me and other kids who went to public school were "barbaric" and would "lower their kids intolect" ( actual phrases used by them towards me as when I was 11). I might have had some distractions and behavior problems during school as a kid, but what kid doesn't act up or get distracted sometimes. Now I'm a mature adult and doing good in life. I wish everyone the best in life and hope anyone who reads this has a good day.

[@sleigh4019]

Its not even close .. Your just being honest .. This isn't the same school from 1980 .

[@cardbuddy4988]

Children need some structure for sure. Something tells me that these moms will have a greater appreciation of teachers.

[@RxDoc2010]

Awesome video Amanda!

[@cardbuddy4988]

Can you imagine the résumé of that unschooled 18 year old?

[@MentalAmanda]

Scary, right?

[@MarcusBumgardner-d4e]

Love the new video series. Keep up the amazing work. If you get a chance you should do Jelly Rolls new song called Winning Streak. So good for addicts

[@geoffreynolds3157]

Ugh…. On the simplest level, look at animals in the animal kingdom, there is structure of survival. If the animal is a predator, it learns to hunt, and manage its energy so it survives in the wild. If the animal is a prey, it learns how to avoid being hunted and how close ranks, defending the weaker when predators are attacking the herd. If animals didnt learn these skills, they end up extinct. Humans need essential skills to thrive and survive, without structured learning, it dooms the human to fail.

[@tolerableship02_83]

is there a difference between free schooling and the montessori style?

[@MentalAmanda]

Freeschooling, while it promotes the idea of child-led learning and freedom from structure, often lacks the guidance and educational framework necessary for children to develop essential academic skills and discipline. Without a formal curriculum, children may miss out on important foundational knowledge, become directionless and can lack the motivation to tackle challenges beyond their immediate interests. In contrast, Montessori offers a well-structured, proven approach that blends independence with a clear, purposeful learning environment, ensuring children are not only free to explore but also systematically develop the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in the real world. With Montessori, there is still some level of structure and benchmarks.
