Anything that is out of the system faces bias, and unschooling is not an exception.
It touches parents who have chosen such a form of education for their kids. It touches kids whose friends always have "special" atittude to all who differs from them. And, of course, it touches families when they choose public schools as the way of passing exams and attestations.
This woman's name is Margarita Moshkina, she is a head teacher of a family school, a biology teacher and a psychologist.
She has a dialog with mass-media and tells about some problem moments in going out of the system.
She has told many stories when public official schools have "special" attitude to unshcooling kids.
They demand more knowledges, give more complicated tasks in exams, give less time for making tests, and in general, they try to show that they are not good enough.
School teachers take unschooling kids and their parents like people who think they are betetr than all the rest, and thus they try to prove them it is not so, and they don't care it's not fair. it is just a choice, just another form of education, just a right of any family!
She added that the situation is aggravated by the approach to school funding, which depends on the number of students. If the number of students in the class falls, then the institution receives less funds.
Thus unschooling kids gives one more problem - schools get less funds.
What about marks and knowledge?
It's not a secret, and Margarita has proved it one more time, that unschooling kids always show better results in all kinds of attestations.
By the way, the data of statistics is unstoppable:
The Ombudsman in the field of education under the Commissioner for the Protection of the Rights of Entrepreneurs, Amet Volodarsky, said that the number of children switching to family education is growing annually by about 10%. Many experts note that quarantine restrictions and distance learning have pushed people to leave public schools.
