I have been teaching for the past 22 years and can only say that I can't trust the government in having our children benefit coming first! There are administrative pressures, not to talk of financial ones, that take priority over our children. That should simply not be the case as they are our #1 natural resource, if we were to put it bluntly. They are simply to precious to be relegated to third, second, fourth or whatever place.

History seem to have plenty of examples showing us that we shouldn't trust a government with our children. This is one extreme of the spectrum. If all parents were as intelligent as their progeniture, that be an easy matter to deal with. We'd simply have to educate them ourselves to a certain age where other trustworthy adults could take on the next phase of their education, such as it has been in multiple aboriginal cultures.

Unfortunately, it isn't the case. Then comes the crux of the question, who do we trust with our kids and is it worth the risk??? Keeping an open communication with our children about their educators and ourselves might just help us all slowly get out of this marasmic situation our future, our children, and us all are facing right now, especially with the infringement of corporate influences in our education system...

Thanks for sharing and opening this important discussion with us all on Steemit.com Our communities must have loads to share about this. All for one and one for all! Namaste :)
