I educate with the intent to expose my children to several areas of learning so that they can start to sort out their natural talents, interests, and goals.<br /><br />While some of your other point are focused on societal, systemic schooling more than education (homeschoolers often make that distinction), I agree that reading is a fundamental skill. Once one can read, one can learn anything their heart desires!<br /><br />I want my children to love learning, as such I expose them to much, but also let them run with what they want to learn more than try to make them care about things they don't. That would be the systemic difference. I greatly dislike that our countries' similar view of schooling requires pieces of paper showing that one can pass a test about information that one may or may not care about in order to advance on toward a career.<br /><br />I would like very much to see apprenticeship return as a dominant path for career rather than having to complete learning goals that have been chosen by government. The generalized collectivist nature of that systemic schooling often results in an epic waste of time for several individuals and creates stigma around those who don't fit in the prescribed box which the problematic aspect of your point about "equality".<br /><br />So, I agree in some respects, but respectfully disagree in others. <br /><br />Coming to you from the #PoCoLo link up!ReneeOpenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06998922825662068007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1477984872627000924.post-85690803187994483822021-05-28T13:03:21.433+01:002021-05-28T13:03:21.433+01:00Education is the key that unlocks so many doors!Education is the key that unlocks so many doors!Michele Morinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814119096056835884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1477984872627000924.post-40891446687786374232021-05-28T01:20:30.521+01:002021-05-28T01:20:30.521+01:00As a former teacher (now retired) I have to agree ...As a former teacher (now retired) I have to agree with everything you wrote - education IS important!Meditations in Motionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08406003928113822953noreply@blogger.com
