minimum viable school replacement is access to a library, a forest, and a person who loves you

@mechanicalmonk1 love this 😍😍😍 it's striking how much of this kids have had to do on the internet (forums, minecraft, etc.) b/c they're actively prevented from doing it irl

@QiaochuYuan I think "a person who loves you" is missing necessary bidirectionality + "feeling seen." How about "a healthy relationship"? My parents love us for their definition of "love," but that isn't sufficient for MV-school-replacement for my brothers either right now.

when a door opened on the trunk of the tree and you saw a library inside you couldn't run in fast enough. inside you find books written by impossible people, fictional people, people you met in a dream once. when you start reading the tree rumbles "welcome home, child" https://t.co/AlKQdMn4BO https://t.co/HafpVk9p1L

@QiaochuYuan bespoke: school should definitely exist but as a non-coercive intellectually free age-diverse resource-rich community-governed institution
