      Dayna Martin said that Radical Unschooling (her book) sells the most in Germany. But until now I've never actually seen a German that didn't have tendentious, average-redditor-like views (and so sure they're right, or even informed...) about it.

      @bjoernkoenig 2 месяца назад +1

      In Germany homeschooling is illegal but public schools in Germany are absolute crap. And because of the immigration policy you have literally every day knife attacks from illegal migrants at schools. In many schools for example in Berlin there are already over 90 % muslims in the classrooms, german kids are a minority. Private schools on the other sites are way too expensive. So the option for homeschooling would also be a real alternative here.

    BIG MISTAKE to speak English with your kids in the U.S. after moving there from Germany. They will be totally fluent in 6 months and the challenge will be to keep up their German. I know, because I’ve been this kid and am glad my parents kept speaking German with me.

    Hi Ellie, good job. You could not have hoped for a better individual than Felix, I've been a subscriber of his since episode 10 or so and he's become a super-powerhouse and a real mentor/leader and conscience for Team Space. Keep up the good work, stay enthusiastic and most importantly strive for impeccable quality, accuracy and transparency. Felix is one of the finest examples of these traits and his success is due primarily because of that dedication and fearlessness. His wife is also totally amazing. Good Luck!

    For those wondering, He's talking about NSF NasaSpaceFlight. I remember the drama when they started copyright striking everyone and stopped people from using their videos. If you noticed, other people in the space community rarely use their footage anymore.
    In a way it was a good thing, because it is why he hired Chief, who turned out to be an awesome member of not just the WAI team but all of Team Space, because he allows people to use his footage. And helps capture special request because he is always there.

    Felix is enthusiastic but modest and understands the value of self-irony which places him on a level beside the viewer. He doesn't shove a load of over the top self-praise in the face of the viewer, as quite a few copycat channels tend to. Instead he lets the audience decide whether they like his product or not.
