Schooling your children is not at all the same thing as educating them.
The school gives information, teaches you how to learn, some analytical skills such as long division and grammar, how to play the recorder and gives you ample practices on sports activities and the likes..
Educating is more than that..
Educating teaches children how to think for themselves, how to be assertive, how to resolve argument amicably, how to treat people with respect, how to face their fears, how to be a good looser or a good winner, which behavior is and isn't socially acceptable and so on...
Point is... it is the school's job to school the children ..But.. its your job as parents to educate them.
So parents.. be involved in educating your children less they will miss a big chunk of skills needed to face the challenges in life.
