Here’s Why"},"content":{"rendered":"

A Kolkata-based couple has been making headlines for their unconventional approach to education. They have opted for “unschooling” instead of the traditional schooling system. nThis method prioritises child-led, interest-driven learning, abandoning formal lessons and structured curriculums.<\/p>\n

The couple hogged the limelight after actress-influencer Shenaz Treasurywala documented their story.<\/p>\n

In a video posted on Instagram, Ms Treasurywala has introduced the family as – “This couple decided never to send their children to school.”<\/p>\n

The couple firmly believes that their children learn through unstructured and experience-based methods. For instance, their son, a cricket enthusiast, learns math through the sport.<\/p>\n

In the video, the two also emphasised that they are raising their children to be entrepreneurs and are not worried about their careers.<\/p>\n

“Unschooling means there is no pattern. No curriculum. You just let life teach you,” the father said.<\/p>\n

The parents added that their children have several classes throughout the day and are “constantly up to something or the other”.<\/p>\n

Ms Treasurywala was impressed by the couple’s approach and the intelligence and curiosity of their children.<\/p>\n

Sharing the video on Instagram, she wrote, “This is a new trend called UNSCHOOLING not to be confused with HOME SCHOOLING. Unschooling is a child-led, interest-driven learning approach without structured curriculums, while homeschooling follows a set curriculum taught at home, similar to traditional schooling.”<\/p>\n

“I met this family in Kolkata and was blown away by the kids and how smart they were and how interesting their learning process was. For both home schooling and unschooling- the parents have to be very involved and hands on!!” she added.<\/p>\n

The video quickly went viral, garnering a mix of reactions from social media users. While some were fascinated by this concept of unschooling, others expressed concerns about the potential impact on the children’s careers.<\/p>\n

A user wrote, “Nowadays schools are just business.”<\/p>\n

“The purpose of schools is not just teaching subjects. A school is a place where many minds of the same age come together and interact, and in that interaction, over the years, are life lessons and behavioral development. I am not against homeschooling, though.. I’d prefer Schools. The discipline in school works for Life, which many may not realize until they are old,” another said.<\/p>\n

A few gave a shout-out to the parents and called it a “perfect way to escape the matrix.”<\/p>\n

A person added, “Since education in India turned into a business center. This parent’s idea is extremely good.”<\/p>\n
