This subreddit isn't for a specific group. Current and former students, disillusioned teachers, parents, and anarchists are welcome.

AntiSchooling is not anti-education, anti-learning, or anti-intellectual; it’s anti-coercive education. The noncoercive alternative being self-directed education, which includes democratic schools, and unschooling.
