RE: THE SCHOOL SYSTEM IS NOT BROKEN
This will be hard to do, to start. I would have to get my husband on board, we do not have the same views on this just yet. His mother was a teacher and her job now consists of teaching the teachers new ways of teaching. She also does something else. She is learning with the First Nation, their ways and implementing them in the school's. Teaching the teachers how it was for them and how they are more and more disappearing. I only know a small segment of what she is doing. I do know that she has been going to powwows and taking her time during her last summer vacation to bring the young people of 2 different tribes to come together, like a camping trip, showing that they have the same interest and can get along to work together.
This will be the toughest part of all once we disconnect from the schools.
I will take your recommendation for unschooling. I think it is something they will need so very much.
Thank you @wwf. Your comments have been much needed and very helpful.
