Omg people even my family members called me a psycho when I said these things..now I feel good after seeing this..what a wonderful and relevant thought
Really our parents and other family members will never even try to understand these things. They always think they know the best.
Same with me , dawg
Homeschooling is an amazing option for kids but in India people are not much aware it or they don't have time to teach their kids. I am doing Homeschooling of my 2 daughters and they both are intelligent, smart, social and physically fit. We need to aware people in India about Homeschooling or Unschooling. Thanks 🙏
Agree
It's legal in USA
Can you share your mail ID/contact details sir.. i have 2 daughters as well and I want to homeschool them ✔️
Me too homeschooling my kids and have to face this kind of harassment for not sending my kids to school.😢
What is the procedure to send our kids for homeschooling in India?
Would love to hear more about how you are taking it ahead 😊
Your son is blessed by great parents
I will have kids probably in 6-7 years and I am seriously thinking about home schooling
great thought. One disclaimer which may be intuitive. but think this through. best way would be try convincing some one else about this and try answering there doubt. if you are unable to solve then seek help. and try again.
Because this is great idea needs similar execution. We take for granted but when we send child in school its out source of work which saves time and gives convenience. in home schooling you have to involve in all decisions.
from my friend's experience he had 2 issues he had to face.
1. I don't think he is learning enough. ( which will be mostly false but this comes from comparison)
2. Am I taking right decisions for him ? ( He may lack behind his peers. or he may not become world-class )
I will encourage you to go for it. just give it a thought and answer to your self are you will to spend mental , finacial , time resources for your kids future.
Best of luck for your kid for great learning experience. and happy to see people are open to idea of home schooling.
Now what's the status?
@@arunbabu3582 it's just past 1 year, ask 6 more years latwr
I have already started home schooling to my children of age 10,6,3 since last 2 yrs nd they r doing better than school

Beautiful!!! I agree with your perspective and am excited for when this will be the future of letting humans grow! Namaste from California
In UAE it's so called common now
I’m trying to homeschool my 4year old twin boys, it’s not easy at it sounds! Homeschooling needs a lot of dedication from both the parents!
Self discipline parents is important
Very true.
You can do it. The initial stage is challenging but once you build the habit and routine, your child will become independent.
To me homeschool doesn't start until school starts (grade 1). The rest is just play and school is really just daycare.
true... if both are working dont opt for homeschooling, best for parents having own business or online work forever :)
Am unschooling my 5 year old daughter.
Accept the child the way they are.
Better school at least till the age of 18.
@@tbraghavendranAbsolutely not, School is redundant.
Mr. Shantanu U r the BAAP of all parents who wants to homeschool their children.... Learned many things today abt home school... M too into same that my child will learn what he wants to learn and play and not a school a period a teacher a Curriculum will decide.
What I suffered during my schooling my child will not....
I am 26 already started planning for early retirement so that I can home school my kid. Many people cant agree with me but this video boasted my confidence
I pre-retired at 26 exactly :) and working online since 2003, but plane well, make passive income streams and add some evergreen sellable skills
Why do you plan to retire so young 🤔
@@tbraghavendran also let me share my planning
Investing in capital market would yield 12% on average which would be
12L out of 1cr, means 1L/month which is way more than my current requirement which is just 20-30k which means i will accumulate the surplus for next 5-15 years till we hit inflation or my expense becomes 1 lakh per month
Also I have 80% of my investment in bitcoin which will at least double every 4 year due to halving.
Unless my expenses increase, 1cr is what I needed to live my next 60 70 years (🤣any way I live that long)
@@tbraghavendran so in Conclusion
If we have enough money to survive for next 40 50 yrs (provided we have done maths properly and have perfect income passive income source) so why should we keep working, yea our wants and necessity will keep on increasing unless we know to control them.
The more we earn the more we want . Aur isi cheez ko control karna hi sabse bada skill hai.
@@ashiqdey i agree with ur points but I don't feel retire is the word for me, i wants to achieve financial freedom for me so that i don't need to work anymore. I work or not it should be my mood not my need or necessity.
I don't believe bitcoin is a good investment
I have trained myself n my lifestyle have become in such a way that i don't get attracted towards materialism anymore n have very very less daily needs.
If i consider my mandated daily needs it will be just mobile phone, net, water that's it. I don't have any cravings for tea/ coffe like normal beings, don't feel attracted towards expensive cars now, don't use any materialistic things, discarded all apple products, don't gets attracted towards any gold stuff, etc etc.
Thank you so much sir...I am very confident now to raise my children by homeschooling and support their passion..I won't waste their valuable time by sending schools only for sake of grades.and certificates..As you said their are so many other ways to get those certificates..and i don't want to make job seeker, want to make entrepreneurs job creators..so don't need those also...thank you so much ...
I think if children are home schooled they should be sent to some kind of sports academy to get to socialise. Coz school is where the socialising, friendship, being independent all these things are learnt. It’s not just about the curriculum so there should be a way to get the belongingness feeling.
Absolutely. Learning about social life is also very important to know the outside world.
which social life? kids nowadays do not even greet to relatives/guest came at home...
If schools are where we get to socialize, how many close friends do we have out of a 40-45 numbered classroom? Not beyond 4 or 5, right? I think, homeschoolers get more opportunities than the rest, as they get to interact with people of different age groups than just their peers alone. However, enrolling them on sports/music academies is a good thought. There are many doing the same.
God bless you sir and especially Abhiram. I prey he turns an excellent example for rest of the children and save them from becoming a product for the factory called school.
Amazing....wish Homeschooling officially start in India and parents choose it happily for the sake of the child.
Superb Shantanu ...im sure many parents would get the shift in their mindset by watching this .
This video is such an eye opener. Thank you from the heart.
All that remains when you have forgotten what you learnt at the school is - Education!
shantanu i connect so perfect as o have a same son...and till date i was pishing him to read and go to school...u r insight is helping me to deal with this covid times and my son is very very happy n healthy now.
I just did this for my son!! This was done so my son in the 9th grade could focus on his boxing aspiration and has more time to train. While doing his 10th and keeping the learning on. He will do his graduation but not the schooling route. Also, next year plan to take him to Thailand to train him in Muay Thai. Home schooling definitely is something parents should consider
Hi, please give me details for home schooling. My son is in 8th, and plays cricket. I want to opt for home schooling, please tell me what procedure to follow.
Wow this is so well ,wonderfully and truly said, which many people do not even dare to think or try giving it a thaught too.
Good to see Shantanu Ji, you said exactly what i thought and did; I also started homeshcool my 5.5 son Grade 1 this year and my 2nd son 3 year.
The homeschooling is going great with fun leaning mixed with Indian US UK curriculum and my son can do more games, hobbies and is relaxed.
I teach one subject a day or for two days, clubbed with activities, even youtube video and mobile games revolved around that theme, and my son himself says i want to do new work, its a games for him, which was never in school.
And one-o-one teaching no one can beat :)
To parents afraid to take steps Certificate is no problem NIOS is all approved, else if kid is really good in studies go for IGSCE Cambridge Private.
Planning same, but all our relatives started yelling at me :-(, also Request you to tell me what different curriculum's and how to get those at home.
@@arju9997 In India mainly 2
NIOS 10th / 12th (Easy & Cheap)
IGSCE / CAMBRIDGE (Difficult & Expensive, but good for International college in future)
Just go with any CBSE / ICSE pattern books for smaller classes.
@@FunPaa how to select CBSE pattern books in NIOS?
@@Adiwarekar20 i searched for Open school you have to check yr locality of school which is NIOS centre to collect books.its same as cbse curriculum apart from cbse you have select books on yr own. If you need that papar of certificate you need register with NIOS.
@@Adiwarekar20 that will happen in 10th NIOS, for lower classes just go with any good books used by any good school or mix match
One more thing you forgot, in indian schools that bureaucracy has taken a step forward ,its called homeworks:hours of shutting brain and copying things, and living fake sense of achievement that they have fulfilled their daily qouta of teaching and learning.
true.. its a stress for parents n kids
There was an absolute relevance in this speech. Also, through the experiences and results, benefits of homeschooling is explained by Mr. Shantanu.
So happy to see this! Your son is blessed to have u as his father. 💛
Home schooling will work with a selective section of the society. Considering the socio-economic conditions generally in India, having home schooling will not be effective. The exposure Shantanu has given to his son is amazing, but how many families can do this. Both system has their cons and pros. Just can't push aside the school system totally.
Could you define 'work out' sir? Is it what you have in your mind about being successful or for the kid ?
What percentage of students going through edu institutes are 'succesfull' ?
true its selective choice, but its gonna increase espc with poor system n covid combo :)
🙏 sir with due respect I think one who can not take care should not produce one for betterment of himself n society as well . please correct me if I am wrong
Ok so what you gonna say, Dalits can't do it such thing bla bla bla?
Those who shall afford and willing to homeschool their children shall do it. Parents should have the freedom to choose the preferred education stream for their children.
All points mentioned are so relatable. One of the best talks i have ever heard on HomeSchooling. Awesome Talk.
Amazing 👌 ... Me n my husband also decided for home schooling for my daughter .. now she is 10 months old but mean while we started prepare to explore new things .... My hubby suggest me for the same .. tx a lot bit challenging but will love the way wil accept up n downs ..
The subject he learns during camping is SURVIVAL. Thank you so much for the video sir. I haven't got my daughter admitted in school for the same reasons. She is 5. Your speech has boosted me and yes I am happy that I am not in the wrong route.
My cousin's daughter is also 10 year old .. she is not going to school... she is doing well ... She is doing the things want she want.... i am also thinging to not send my son to school
I have already started home schooling to my children of age 10,6,3 since last 2 yrs nd they r doing better than school..m going through all these questions by ppl
I hope that home schooling must b known option in india.. n ur son is lucky one,I m glad that a father is sensitive enough to understand the delicacy of kids development.
I agree with you sir 🙏🙏.You are doing great job 👏👏. Congratulations Sir
Great job brother 👍Good DECISION 👏 Let our child live his childhood❤
That's a great motivation for homeschooling brother 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Shantanu...
We are also thinking for homeschooling and that's why saw this one and got lots of answers...
i was searching for an inspiration for unschooling in this dysfunctional india education system i got from you. thankyou
Each time I see a homeschooling video, I see a different perspective. 👍👍
Shantanu sir plz ek youtube channel shuru kijiye taki jo parents apne bacchon ko homeschool karana chahte hain unko kuch ideas mile.thank you
nice idea, i am working on something you suggested :)

Sir, 200 % we agreed with you we frausted with private CBSC school in pune , changed 3 private school ,We already leave school from last 3 years , and very happy in our life with our daughter . People doesn't know how many opportunities government already giving free education in all over India ( NIOS ) best option for our kids in india , love it
Which school have you selected finally ? My friend in pune has changed multiple schools Cambridge, cbse, icse and is still not happy.
हमने तो lock down से पहले ही अपने बेटे को homeschooling start करा दी थी, चार लोग जो समाज के थे, उन्होंने जीना हराम किया but सुनो सबकी करो वो जो बच्चे और आपके हित में हो
Amazing...thank you so much for this brilliant but simple explanation.. it'll be of great help in convincing my mil
👏👏👏👏Very well explained. These are the joys of life that a child must experience. Looking forward to be committed for the same for my children as well in near future. 🤞👍
This will be Future
I look back at my school days and in terms of learning it was practically a waste of time. The teacher would get up, go to the board and rattle out a lesson on a new topic usually without any passion crammed into 30mins (the other 30mins just wasted on getting in and out of class, settling the class down etc etc). So we get 30mins of a topic we have absolutely no clue about and then be given ‘homework’ to test us on the lesson. So we get home still wondering what the heck the teacher was on about and starting the learning process at home. But then we have 5 different subjects and 5 sets of homework from that day. Is it any wonder a child goes home and has less hours to learn about the foreign material presented to them than they have at school. So a child VERY quickly becomes despondent. He wasn’t TAUGHT anything but he was TOLD. What does he learn? Mostly nothing. Imagine Aristotle or Archimedes giving a lesson in this way. The time at school is 50% wasted. A child given the right tools can smash their way through a school syllabus in 50% of the time because they are forced to find the answers if they do not understand. In school, you switch off once you don’t follow what the teacher is saying and pray you can catch up by putting in the hours later at home. Its always a catchup after having wasted most of your waking hours at school.
I agree what you are saying.But think about other perspective like fun with friends,socializing etc.Can you forget the days of your high school it is the best time of my life no matter how much you earn in future.
@@akashdev4859 you don't need school to get that believe me. There are other venues. And this cannot be an excuse to justify the flawed schooling system. The fundamental problem is in the system design
@@saintshaggy1372 I agree
@@akashdev4859 socialising can be done at other venues. It is not about earning potential. The flawed way of teaching is spoiling our children's thinking process and general aptitude. Children even primary school students are being rushed. why? Relax, learn, enjoy and stop shaming children. If they knew everything, there was no need to come to school. Noe schools are not kind and helping as they used to be.
I agree with you that we need time to settle with subject and then it becomes intresting and subject is changed
I agree u... Because parents can become the best teacher
This is mind blowing.
Parents should have ample time to do this.
It is real..soon it will be reality for many more parents.. because of multiple reasons in current commercial edu business... Hope at least responsible govts will think and about our future generations and help our people.....
Wonderfull it's not compulsory to go to school there is lot of things except schooling in which they can be a good future.
I have decided to homeschool my son and every time anybody asks ko si class mai padhta hai? N I tell them he never been to school ,every single parent says kyu?usko koi problem hai kya😂😂😂😂
Kehna - Uske hamare bekaar education system se problem hai.
How old is your son

You would be so happy to use your intelligence for homeschooling too apart from your job , believe me though it seems what is there to use intelligence for teaching a toddler but let me tell you it's a intelligent job as well, and result will surprise you with self assessment of your kids with his/her peers in all terms those who go to school. 👍🏻
@@reetikamaheshwari2662 Is your kid is Homeschooled ?
@@Hemantsav yes.
@@reetikamaheshwari2662 Hi
As long as the kid is in a good daycare, don't feel guilty. They have lots of kids to play with. Homeschool starts around age 7. That's when they are forced to sit all day and there is little play.
Hello sir, thanks for providing information very useful for the next generation. While going through your video one 12th class CBSE student (Physics Chen, Maths) wanted to follow the practice you explained for home schooling. What would you recommend at this stage, your early reply is highly solicited. As this may be at the cost of forthcoming CBSE board exam
This video really helps , more of such tips would be helpful , if you have some more ideas of homeschooling
As always awesome 👌
So many well made points.
Sending kids to schools which are based on German industrial method is making them robots.
Do not outsource parenting.
Life requires practicality which can be learnt by Parents who Participate in thier kids lives.
Homeschooling is the future.
Sensible talk😊🎉
He is a very lucky kid i must say !!!
For a school trip, we went to UDYOG, we were lucky enough to meet him! And yes my friend was lucky enough to get his autograph :>
Amazing... We too enjoy Unschooling our 3 Teenagers now
After the implementation of CCE( continuous & comprehensive evaluation) in 2010 ......some school took this loafer attitude a step further when 70 percent of evaluation was conducted in the school itself... teacher were only focused on polishing their records
by giving unnecessary copying tasks in the name of homework/assignments/ projects and the worst part is they justified these by labeling it 'the proof of a student studying (an academic proof)'...they did not bother whether the pupil is learning or not ....It more or less felt like they won't teach anything in school hour , and also they would not let you study at home, and heavens forbids they would take it on their small ego if they come to know that a child is taking any private tuitions or cram schools due to substandard teaching and syllabus....by unnecessarily detaining them.
Even if I agree with the concept of home schooling in theory , I am not very sure how one can go about it especially if parents are not in a situation of financial abundance
I enjoyed your speech.
Abhiram is in fantastic hands
Great bhaiya, Abhiram is a champion :). All the best wishes.
Thanks Robin !
Blessed with the right parents
I want to homeschool my children too.
Thank you for the amazing video sir.... I was looking something as good as this video to convince my wife why we would unschool our children.
Rahul - I am so glad you liked the video. We all went to a conventional school and are trained to think in a certain way. I purposely raised those 10 points, which parents asked me in the past, so that I can establish my point
I am going to be dad soon, i am having same thought process , I started researching about the new ways of upbringing, certainly it starts with braking sterotyiping and make the learning process enjoyable and natural. Theoretically this plan is superb until we as a partents gives enough time to kids, be around them... For joined families it's manageable but I am wondering how will office going couples gonna live this dream.
Yes it need one parent dedicated to child. So ya career very difficult for both.
Great sir
Sir please help , what is the procedure of home schooling and we are willing to do it
Homeschooling has lots of benefits it gives focused mentoring to only one kid or two and you can save a lot of money by not spending on school fees
Good choice Sir 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Parents who having gained good education themselves via school or non schools and can give good amount of time for child's education happily then homeschooling is good option.
Amazing ✨
Your spoke each and every word is correct because the today education is vaudevillian.
Amazing Talk And Mentality.Respect 📈
Useful information thanks bro
Very nice sir I also want to my son in homeschooling .
Home schooling is good but I think you might want to have a concrete plan for him. Just hopping around will not be effective. For example, just traveling and visiting historical places will not take care of history. It will need finding age appropriate resources, doing research about the place and being able to explain it.
Same goes for reading, it needs scientific approach and progresion. We did it, and by the age of 7, we could read Harry Potter series 8 times. Same goes for camping etc.
Really nice talk n guidance 4 our future of country.. Thanks bhaiya

Send kids to good pre-primary schools. After that home schooling or online schooling will be fine as they learned basic etiquettes already.
Is there any community of online schooling or home schooling?
If there are local communities and if in cities especially, if they stay together insided a gated community, then no need of school.
I am looking one like that in Bangalore.
Hi there...
Any luck finding like minded ppl in bangalore..
I would like to connect..let me knw..
I agree but I would say send them to good daycare from age 1-6. Low ratios, lots of variety in activities. Then, from 7, they will be fine at home.
Wonderful experience I agree with your home school concept... Indian education is a copy paste education🎒🏫📚🎓
