The de-schooling movement advocates for withdrawing children from traditional schooling, arguing that it stifles creativity and individuality while fostering rote memorization and consumerism. Proponents suggest various approaches to facilitate self-motivated learning, including creating networks for knowledge exchange, listing mentors, and encouraging experiential learning outside of institutionalized settings. Ultimately, the movement emphasizes that education can occur anywhere and promotes personalized, paced learning experiences.
