This is Not a School


A nineteen year family education journal.

by John Dale

Explore the projects and curriculum this homeschool family engaged in as part of their family education lifestyle.

From 2017 to the present day a series of major global changes rocked us. Public distrust in major institutions grew while desperate parents sought uniquely American solutions.

In response to obvious tampering with the education system, parents started pulling their children from public school in droves. In the age of the Internet, "home school" student enrollment took off. We live in the time of the open Internet, robotics, automation, and rapid new technology discoveries, but can American education and culture retrofit itself to capitalize on these very real trends? Okay, so maybe the education system and culture are not fundamentally broken, but what could be done better and for less money? In this book, I invite you to explore the answer to that question with me. TLDR; The American public must awaken civically, relearn its history, engage with real world projects, and quickly refine its religious, civic, and moral character.

Paperback version available to Buy on Amazon.

Sci-Fi novel by John C. Dale

In a world where advanced technology is deployed at a breakneck pace before the public has a chance to evaluate the technology for return on investment and safety, society is planting seeds of technocratic systems that will be around long after humanity is finished on Earth. But in the meantime, there will be a decline. What does that look like? Can it be avoided? John Dale explores this issue in only the way he can. Out in 2024, this short novel reminds the reader of some of the great futuristic warnings like Anthem and 1984.
