Quote by Keith Johnstone

“HOMESCHOOLING, n. The education of children at any place other than a school—usually by parents, tutors, or a mix of both. Where homeschooling is legal, it follows the public curriculum and tends to grow in correlation with parents’ dissatisfaction with the alternatives. Where it’s illegal, all children are forced to go to school, regardless of affinity, bullies, or circumstances—unless of course there is a pandemic and the adults freak out. See HOMESCHOOLING in the Guide to Alternative Education.”
