As a parent that home-schooled my kids, I have observed that merely allowing kids to seek what knowledge they will fails to acknowledge that the world is not simply what they want it to be. It is essential that in addition to allowing kids to learn what they want to know, parents must use their experience, love, and discretion to also teach those things kids need to know, but aren't aware is necessary.

It's not beneficial to kids to let them grow up like animals. We are people, and the elemental nature of people is that they create institutions and technology. How those things impact us are essential to moderate, and teach kids to understand. The example you have observed and provide here is extraordinarily important to folks that want their kids to be good, free people.

Thanks!
