RE: Modern Education Is Anything But Modern
Quite honestly, I wish I could turn back time and re-write the history for my own children's school experiences. Had I known then what I know now, I would have been much more forceful about how my children were educated. I feel that both of my children's education had been compromised because I was too busy to understand what was going on at the schools they attended and trusted that they knew best.
Like you said, its a machine and it processes children. Some will fall out of the 'standard' and they are disposable misfits and rejects.
If you don't feel like you could have done almost everything better as a parent then you are probably not trying hard enough. I have four and am combating my past inadequacy with future efforts. I do not think think that perfection is attainable so steem on and love them as best as you can.
Great reply! No point in beating ourselves up about something that cannot be altered. However, we can talk about it and hopefully someone else will benefit from our mistakes.
I think so many parents share your view
