RE: On the Education System

in #education8 years ago

we home schooled our daughter ...
she is 21 now just got back from travelling Europe and is now looking at university ...She has see travelled and is fiercely independent and will do well I am thinking ... and is as far as I am concerned a far better person than if she had gone through the system...

Sort:  

In poor societies, parents bring "essential survival and life skill". Education, whatever it is, has made it possible to change their standard of living.
For educated parents, governments are asked to teach our children "essential survival and life skill". Strange situation!

Ya its a bit much to wrap ones head around some days.
But I think we can agree that school is not what it should be ....
1st off it should be free.... as it is in so many other countries ..
I know my experiences with school where poor ..... to say the least .. And I sure would not pay for them or expect anyone should lol
But our teachers had a lot of rednecked country boys to deal with in my younger days I am sure we left a lasting impression on them also lol

But I think we should agree that this is not what it should be ....

I agree with you. I know the education system. I was a teacher and an entrepreneur.
However, I find that many teachers are disconnected from reality. They are focused on programs and evaluations.
Education is valued in poor countries, highly criticized and devalued in rich countries.

Its more about program and evaluations is true and one more thing that changes a lot "money" in the rich countries ...it is a business

congrats for that

Thnk you
Her mother and both grandparents where teachers so she did not get off light well ok sometimes lol says somthing when teacher don't want there kids in school....

Yep. I teach in a school, but I teach my daughter everything the school doesn't. Indeed I'd rather teach a small group of kids what I think they should know, and teach them how to learn by themselves.
