Experiment House and Progression?
Why did CS Lewis disliked about modern education? why was the school 'Experiment House' such a bad place? what did it represent? and why was Lewis making fun of modern education of his day?

You will probably get some very good answers to this if you google each question separately. Eminent scholars have written about this, and I am sure some of their material is printed in full on the internet.

But why did Lewis made his Progressive School sound so terrible? what did he have against modern education? did he prefer homeschooling over public schools?

No, but he was conservative in his outlook- he preferred the older system in England of private schools (confusingly called "public shools" because they were theoretically open to anybody) which were single-sex and taught a curriculum largely based on the classical writings of Greece and Rome, history, and math and natural sciences.
The difference is that people wanted to hear the stories, whereas I never met anyone who wanted to read the essays
