To remove from school, or more broadly, to free someone from conventional schooling and institutional education in favor of alternative learning approaches.
From de- (prefix meaning to remove) + school. Coined by Ivan Illich in his 1970 book 'Deschooling Society,' which critiqued institutional education.
Ivan Illich's 'Deschooling Society' sparked a massive movement—the word challenged people to imagine what learning could look like without grades, classrooms, and age-segregated institutions.
