Topic: If we can educate our kids at home why do we need to send them at school? - page 12. (Read 6865 times)

Yes parents can educatw their chikdren at hime but childrens cannot get a diplona, degree and certificate that they finish school. Going to school is different from learning at home. Children can learn wider with the help of the teachers and professors.And they can aslo get diploma and a degree that they need in the future fot work purposes.

Because going to school isn't just about putting knowledge in your head, it's about interacting with your peers and everything that entails.

Who will bring up and teach children at home, a grandmother or grandfather? Or perhaps the parents? Who know all sciences perfectly? Well, hiring coaches does not have enough money. Therefore, the school is the most optimal option.
But if you have money... then... 

Parents aren't really forced to work when they have children though. They just have their priorities backwards. It's much more sensible to secure your finances first and then have children. But uneducated and shortsighted people have kids first and then complain about all the problems they didn't anticipate.

perhaps well-developed countries, where all families live in abundance, it is possible such an option. When a child can be brought up at home or hired caregivers at home. But in other situations, when parents are forced to work, children receive education and upbringing in kindergartens and schools. This is normal for today.

parents can teach their children basic things a child must learn or know during his/her childhood but not all parents know everything, more important things must be learned by children in order for them to learn how to cope up with life and for them to use it for their future and it can only be learned if parents send their children to school

I just realized that the long post I've written never showed up on here. So here's a short version.

Just provide an environment where they can do a lot of different things and let them freely move with their interests. Kids are naturally curious and playful and will try anything and everything that comes their way. Only when they get into school they start forming bullshit opinions about what they can or can't do and start associating anything that takes effort as "bad" or unenjoyable. Never tell them directly what to think and just help them think of questions to ask and answer instead. If they get stuck help them find a new approach to a problem that they haven't though of before, but don't tell them any solutions. If they approach life from this perspective they will never have any real problems, since it'll just be challenges to solve rather than problems to avoid (like in school).

Just look at a young child, that keeps spamming "why why why", and then compare them with a child that has entered school. It's pretty obvious that school ruins children's curiosity, creativity and drive for exploration. And then they replace that with social media and other bullshit and get depressed because they never fulfill their potentials and are too scared to follow their passions. School is for creating robots that run programs, which is exactly what school was created for when factories first appeared during the industrial revolution. Thus schools are no longer appropriate for children of today.

We can never educate our kids at home due to the fact that going to school is not about academics only, it also includes Moral character and conduct. The School curriculum have already fashion out the best environment for children to sit in class comfortably and receive teaching under a conducive atmosphere, which will help the kids to learn better. Apart from the pictures on the walls other instructional materials which are available only in the school. What about Library for books to study and also a standard laboratory which can never be found at home, and many others. so we cannot properly educate our kids at home, best for them is to send them to school.

Cause our kids needs to have social live to
If they not going to school maybe their not gonna have many friend
Get to knoW anyone

The value of sending our children to school cannot be over-emphasized. We cannot possibly know everything to teach our children. we may teach them morality, respect , kindness, love etc a little bit of alphabets and numbers, but the school will teach them other things about life and most times teachers in such field are employed to handle different field based on their area of specialty. you discover that every teacher transfer a part of his or her knowledge to the child, thereby balancing the equation. If we are the only one to educate them, there will be an in-balance, the child will be limited to how far our brain can give but the child at a tender age will learn association through interaction with other students in a school.

Because there are many limitations to what you can teach the child in your homes because other even got degrees for the children to have a proper education not just a home education where it is limited.

What was your plan then? Let the Internet teach your kids? (I'm sorry but I really don't get what kind of home school you are thinking.)

Kids have to know how to socializate. School is a little society, where a kid gets to know how to communicate with people.

There so much you can learn from going to a traditional school compared to learning from home. In our competitive world, students need to be exposed to the reality wherein they will have to deal with several types of characters/personality, and school is the best place for that. They will learn how to challenge themselves to be the best in class and they will also learn to fend for themselves against bad people or bullies. The real world can be tough on students, but if they will learn to cope with hardships, it will be very rewarding for them.

Sending our kids to school or having them a home schooling is the parents' consideration. Both of them have the advantage and disadvantage. As the parents you know the best for you kids. You just have to consider which one do you want your kids are capable of. Do you want them to be great at their cognitive level,  affective,  or psychomotoric? You can find more information about it or search on the Internet. Be wise!

Not really. School is the opposite of challenging. School has to work for everyone, so it can't be too challenging or parents will complain about their children not being able to clear the challenges presented to them. University isn't really different either and it's getting easier and easier because degrees are now mandatory for jobs, so the difficulty gets tuned down so more people can get a degree.

You have a point.
But school is a sort of a step ladder from home to a more challenging environment.

And why should these standards matter? If these standards were important, people wouldn't have any problems with money or health. So clearly something isn't going right in formal education.

Unfortunately, many parents do not have the opportunity to educate There children at home because of the work.

Education from school comes from the government, the government has a standard learning, each school has to reach that standard to continue, if they don't, the government will shutdown those schools. The purpose of that is to have a standard knowledge for every people on a country. If you just teach your kids at home, they might lack the needs that the standards require. And if you educate your child at home, the government will not recognize it as proper and formal education that is legal to their country.
