The mother, whose daughters are eight and nine years old, said she does not agree with some of the topics children learn in school, such as sex education.
However, Cassyanne shared that the biggest reason she kicked them out of school was because she thought it was like “prison”.
She said she thinks it is unfair that children have to sit in a classroom for eight hours a day and are not allowed to talk during class or go to the toilet.
She said: “I think a child would learn more from the outside world than sitting in a classroom learning about things they will probably never use again.”

Mom said if the kids need math they can use a calculator and she said her girls can learn things by reading books.
“I think teaching a child to jump on a plane and travel the world is more important than putting them in a classroom.”
Cassyanne said she thinks the children just need to learn to read and write and doesn’t understand why they have to be in school for so long.
She said her children could take GCSEs if they wanted to, but added that she herself had never done anything because she had been kicked out of school.
“I don’t have any GCSEs, but I’ve built a number of great companies, so it just goes to show you don’t need it,” she said.
The mum explained that the children have a private tutor once a week, who teaches them basic subjects such as maths and English, which she said costs her around £400 a month.

She added that they learn to cook from scratch from their grandmother, who was a cook, and they have workbooks that help them learn.
Cassyanne’s video must have been loved by many as it has garnered over 434,000 views on the video sharing platform.
TikTok users raced to the video’s comment section to share their thoughts, and opinions were divided.
One person said: “My mum let me drop out after my GCSEs and I wish she had encouraged me to stay.
“It opens a lot more doors when you’re older and want to start a career.”
Another person said: “I totally agree, none of my girls will go to school.
Homeschooling rules
Anyone can decide to educate their child at home, and if you want to remove them from education, you must inform the school.
Homeschooling parents must ensure that they give their children a full education from the age of five, but they do not have to follow the national curriculum.
The council can make an ‘informal enquiry’ to make sure your children are being taught properly at home and can make a school attendance order if they think your child needs to be educated at school.
“I can’t trust the teachers or the other kids.”
A third person said: “Totally agree!
“You are saying everything I said to the school when I presented mine!.
I traveled across America with them last year and the things they learned were amazing.
