As a parent, I just have to say parents do a really shitty job of educating their kids. Me included. If I knew twice what I know now, I would have still been woefully underqualified to turn an infant into a healthy adult, prepared to take on the challenges of life without being a net drain on society. Thank goodness there was half decent schooling available.
School is the only thing that prevents most kids from growing up to be the kinds of adults we hate dealing with. The less control that parents and politicians have over curriculum, the better.
I’m a parent too and I agree with you for the most part. I’m woefully under qualified for this job and I’m very grateful for the professionals and other adults in my youth’s lives. We’re very much missing the ‘village’ part of raising kids.
