Hi @rainbowrachel. As you said, there's so much focus on the paperwork and other things that the true purpose of education is overlooked. I understand the insistence to get youngsters motivated for school because it's going to help them develop their social skills, but is it worth the knowledge they will receive there? No wonder why some parents prefer in-home tutoring, and even student themselves choose self-studying.

There are, of course, institutions around the world that strive for innovation and support free thinking. They guide and encourage properly. But sadly, it's a minority.
