In a shocking turn of events, parents across the country are now letting their kids skip school in the name of education. That’s right, instead of paying exorbitant prices and dealing with massive crowds at traditional educational institutions, parents are turning to the happiest place on earth: Disney World.
According to one parent, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of repercussions from the truancy board, “We’ve been going to Disney World for years now, and my kids have learned so much. They’ve learned about history on the Jungle Cruise, geometry on the It’s a Small World ride, and even environmental science on the Kilimanjaro Safari. Plus, they get to meet all the Disney characters, which is way more educational than any boring old textbook.”
And these parents aren’t alone in their unorthodox approach to education. In fact, there are even rumors that Disney is considering offering full-time schooling within their parks. The curriculum would include rides such as Space Mountain for physics, The Haunted Mansion for history, and even the Dumbo ride for math (because, you know, elephants have excellent memory).
Of course, not everyone is on board with this unconventional approach to education. Some traditionalists still cling to the belief that school should be held in a classroom, not a Magic Kingdom. But for those brave parents willing to buck the system, Disney World is proving to be a valuable source of education.
So the next time you’re planning a family vacation, think about skipping school (with permission, of course) and heading to Disney World. After all, who needs algebra when you can ride the teacups?
