The School Survival Movement: Abolish Compulsory Schooling

[xcriteria]

Better to light a candle than curse the darkness.

I understand how the negativity, immaturity, and chaos is off-putting. But at the same time, it hasn't been that bad lately.. and the world of School Survival and surviving school exists beyond the forums and the rather small number of active people here... many of whom aren't even in school.

Of course, school or not, education and figuring out life continues beyond school, but surely we could all do more in a positive sense.

The front page survey alone shows regular traffic from people struggling with the familiar school issues, who never join the forums or chat. Many express appreciation of the site content and interest in getting involved somehow.

Meanwhile, productive conversations are gou on beyond the site itself, like on FB.

If we can spark more positive interest, I think it'll go a long way toward persuading even the perceived difficult people to also engage in productive, meaningful discussion.

There's a whole different way of being where people create, dream, explore, question, and share... so why can't we all pursue such an alternative to school-like conditions?
