The Deep Green Bush-School ran from January 2017 to August 2020. It was a wonderful school while it lasted.
So did the Deep Green Bush-School model "work"?
The students were happy, surrounded by nature, they learned at their own pace, and the parents were satisfied. You decide.

Why did the Deep Green Bush-School close?
It closed due to four years of bullying, abuse, anti-semitism, blackmail, and deceit by the female school co-owner. Running the school was a source of real joy for me, which she could not stand. There was one abuser in the house, and it wasn't me. It was a domestic matter that the media portrayed as a school matter. And it ended in my wrongful conviction. For a short look at the shocking, provable facts, read HERE.

Why were you wrongfully convicted?
I was wrongfully convicted because my abusive and deceitful ex partner was desperate to get rid of me (for her many personal reasons), and then the State was happy to oblige. Look at the school I created and ran, and what it represented. From the start, I was deemed "guilty" - based solely on my "radical" ideas (i.e. opposing oppression, exploitation, injustice, and the destruction of the Earth). HERE is a very short look at the shocking facts around my wrongful conviction.

“Right, you should not have been convicted. There's a lot questionable here...the totality [of the evidence] points to a different narrative."

Who are you?
I'm Joey Moncarz. I was a co-owner and co-director of the Deep Green Bush-School, located in Clevedon, just outside of Auckland. I was the principal, head teacher, the groundskeeper, and the bus driver. I also did admin and I wrote all school documents and policies. I've spent my life speaking out against oppression, injustices, colonialism, imperialism, the theft of indigenous land, and the destruction of the natural world. This tends to make a person a target.
The other co-owner and co-director was Oksana Simonoff, a corporate accountant who owned the land, and who demonstrated a wide range of unethical and unprofessional behavior for virtually the entire running of the school, and who hated when I spoke of "global solidarity." This includes four years of bullying, blackmail, abuse, anti-semitism, and deceit - and more. (Read HERE for just some of the proof.)

What's the difference between a "nature school" and a regular school? Here's a 2-minute answer:
Are you connected with the Aurora School Alternative?
No. Once I was "removed" from the picture, Oksana Simonoff swiftly closed the DGBS and then opened the Aurora School Alternative on the same land. The Aurora School Alternative has a different curriculum, as Simonoff rejected the DGBS curriculum and philosophy, notably basic concepts associated with democratic education, such as democracy, justice, and decency. That school fizzled for obvious reasons.

What's wrong with mainstream schools? (And be quick, I don't have a long attention span.)
While most teachers are hard-working, caring, intelligent, and well-intentioned, the institution of compulsory education was designed and exists to break the will of children and turn them into passive, obedient, insecure, and ignorant soldiers and consumers who will do nothing of consequence as billions of people are oppressed and impoverished, the Earth is polluted, and life is wiped out. And the institution does its job remarkably well. Just look around you.

Hey genius, it's saying things like that that make you a target.
But it's the truth. Do you have a question?
Yes, can you end with something positive please?
Sure. If you want to feel good and experience joy and good health, spend more time in nature. Nature is the cure for everything.
