this is 100% true, then again i wonder, was it always true? has it really changed and honestly i think not.
i see why homeschooling is so popular now, i just see school as a place for my kids to make some friends. while all the other parents are worried about the average exam grades, my approach is ' as long as there a nice teachers and good friends, i can do my bit with the brain programming and teaching the kids to actually think critically'
