[quote=jsmith123][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsmith123]Every time you teach something to a child, you deprive them of ability to figure it out for themselves. The point isn't the knowledge itself. The point is the discovery of the knowledge.[/quote] So why ever send a child to school? [/quote] I should have clarified that I don't believe that statement fits 100%. I just feel like parents are in such a rush for their children to hit these milestones, that they push them too hard. For young children, the joy is truly in the discovery. Also, I think a good school fosters how to learn and how to think.[/quote]
