As a parent of two children, a question bearing down on my mind is that of the best education. I remember participating in pre-school kindergarten at a very young age and enjoying myself, but the world is a different place now than it was then. Competition is tough, its everywhere, and starting earlier and earlier.
Even more concerning than competition to me is the educational (or lack of) path our society has taken. We have become lazy, self absorbed, idolatrous and lacking more and more in integrity. When I see where public education has gone over the years, I’m constantly bogged down with this fear for my children and what kind of life they will have as well as the kind of life I can give them.
Fortunately for me, I’m not alone. There really are others out there who have taken the steps necessary to allow our children a fighting chance and a real shot at growing, building character and recognizing their own value. Everyday there are new schools, toddler programs, and even infant programs emerging that will prepare them for what lies ahead. With these programs usually comes a very unique way of teaching and allowing children to grow to their potential different to that of the static public schooling system. This is important to me as a parent and as an active member of society.
But what are the current methods being used? Where do they come from and how do I as a parent trust in their philosophy? Read more.
