The Idea of Education
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. Education is the process of facilitating learning or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, morals, beliefs and habits. The learning process should result in growth and development. We want our children to acquire different skills, gain knowledge, build character and develop a strong personality. The school is the first formal institution the child joins and becomes part of the community. The immediate family and school are two organizations that interact with the child on a very regular basis and therefore the two have a major influence on the child. Parents of course, want the very best for the children. They are always looking for the choicest opportunities within their scope and sometimes beyond it, for the benefit of their children. One of the opportunities that parents look for is enrolling the child in the ‘right’ school. And then, with the best intentions at heart, (to give the child a lot of exposure and academic support) parents sign the child up for a lot of extra classes for a lot of different things.
