Shout it, brother! Everything government touches turns to shit, and government schools have ALWAYS been at least as much about molding young minds in the shape the Elite want them to be in as about real education.
Plus: children learn best when allowed to follow their own inclinations, including if that means fishing all day, every day. That's hard for most to believe, but decades of experience at Summerhill School in England and and Sudbury Valley School in the US (and the few schools which emulate them) proves that point beyond doubt -- children free to use their time as THEY choose (while also being required to respect the rights of others) become good neighbors who are happy, self-sufficient adults doing what they WANT with their lives. Oddly, Jesus' approach to children (do not offend them!) fits right in with the "freedom for children" approach.
Coercive schooling certainly offended ME. Being enslaved in a system that forced me to listen to semi-woke idiots all day long ("teachers") who often knew less about their subjects that I did was not pleasant, and slowed my learning more than encouraging it.
Interesting! i went to the site and put in cell phone policy and nothing came up.
I then put in cell phone access and again nothing came up.
So they are not discussing it on the site at all. I don't have time to investigate further right now.

What you are saying is true BUT it was said and proven before phones.
Life is very different now and the kids are given phones as their first toys so their brains are much smaller than before.
I wonder what Summerhill does about the phones.
