RE: Education Debate Challenge #4 - SumatraNate's Entry

I agree with you, education is crucial for the development of an individual and there is nothing better than the values and tools that can be taught at home. Unfortunately in some countries exclusive education at home is not allowed, they force you to school under the system.

Thank you for your engagement on this post, you have recieved ENGAGE tokens.

@cryptoxicate - You bring up a very good point. Exclusive home education is not a right in all countries. I think this points to the need for parents to take every opportunity possible to train and equip their children. As I mentioned in the article, my wife and I want other people to speak into the lives of our kiddos.

But at the same time, we do not want to "farm out" our parental responsibilities to institutions. We want to be active in how our children learn and grow. In cases where children are required to be formally educated outside of the home, parents have to be extra diligent about understanding what and how things are being taught.

Exactly, regardless of whether they go to an institution or not, education, values and morals should be taught at home.
