What social life?
Sitting in a room with same aged children who you’re not allowed to talk to during the class or cooperate with?
5 min talking in the hallway with your best friends or being bullied or witnessing bullying creating more fear of being ‘different’ that will stick in your adult life so you walk around trying to fit in, be liked, look and have what the other ‘cool’ people have?
All adults are authority figures you either hate, fear or want to please…
I don’t want my children to have that kind of social life. My children are with people of all ages every single day, talking to people in shops, the street, parks etc.
They play and argue every day learning to resolve problems with each other and adults treat them respectfully.
We travel and get to know other cultures where they learn social skills.
I’d like to quote a father who once replied to your question saying: ‘I don’t want my children to socialize with these fucking idiots’
Do you want your kids to be surrounded by ‘fiat-minded’ people and learn their way or be around freedom-minded people?
We also don’t need to be with 30-1000 people every day. Especially for introverts this is not just exhausting but torturous.
Being able to be alone is a skill most have forgotten. They need people, distraction and have addictions of all sorts to not feel alone.

Sounds great! For this to happen there just need to be enough people creating these centers and naturally more and more people will leave the old system and join the new. The old will crumble brick(person) by brick(person).

Debunking School’s “Educational Necessity”
Schools were never designed to raise free, fulfilled, and curious human beings.
They were created during the industrial era to produce obedient workers and compliant consumers — people who could follow orders, meet deadlines, and fit neatly into a system.
Yet somehow, over time, we’ve been made to believe:
“We need school to get a proper education and do well in life.”
Let’s debunk that myth.
⸻
1. Everything they teach in school can be learned outside of it — but the things that truly matter can only be learned outside of it.
You can learn math, reading, science, and languages through real life, curiosity, and purpose.
But school often prevents you from learning emotional intelligence, self-trust, decision-making, creativity, independence, and how to live in alignment with your values — the very skills needed for a meaningful life.
⸻
2. Most of what we “learn” at school isn’t learned at all — it’s memorized for a test and then forgotten.
The information that sticks is what we actually use, need, or love — which means we would have learned it naturally anyway. Real learning follows interest, not instruction.
⸻
3. The time spent memorizing what you soon forget could have been used to master something you’re truly passionate about.
Instead of years of forced learning, imagine years of self-directed exploration — building, creating, experimenting, and following curiosity wherever it leads.
⸻
4. True learning and deep understanding only come through experience.
Not by being told what’s true, but by discovering it yourself — through trying, observing, failing, adjusting, and trying again.
Schools teach about life. Real life teaches through life.
⸻
5. “Doing well in life” has never depended on schooling.
The world’s most creative, fulfilled, and successful people didn’t thrive because of school — they thrived in spite of it. They followed their curiosity, not a curriculum.
⸻
6. The system confuses conformity with education.
Grades, tests, and authority approval have replaced real growth. Children learn to perform instead of think, to obey instead of question, and to seek validation instead of self-trust.
⸻
7. The belief that we “need school” keeps the system alive.
When we realize that learning is as natural as breathing, the illusion falls apart.
Children don’t need schools — they need time, freedom, and trust to learn from the world itself.
That’s what we offer at A Place To Be! If you’re ready to take your kids out of school to let them start living their life, visit www.aplacetobe.me

Why are my kids not in school?
Because they don’t have time for it… here’s why:

Sometimes you can have such a powerful shift in perspective that’s it’s like detaching a parachute that had been open whist you were trying to run. Absolute libertarian.
