1. History of Schooling, Prussia system to teach obedience as major purpose early on for schooling
2. „Internal Locus of Control“-concept :Anxiety and Depression partly linked to decline of Locus of Control on kids…
3. „School is prison“ teached from the Kid of Peter Gray. -> Sudbury Valley School System for self-directed learning. No courses offered, No classes, no teachers, etc. Children playing, exploring (like hunter/gatherer). Joy of learning came back to their kid.

5. „you only fail in school if you don’t obey“.
6. „we come into our world biologically set to educate ourselves“. But we need to create special places for that. Certain Education instincts in kids…
7. „When children have free time they learn a lot iof interesting things“.
8. 10% of families in US do home schooling.
9. unschooling vs home schooling

11. Public/normal education system: constant race of stress and anxiety
