A couple has chosen to withdraw their children from school, asserting that the current education system is antiquated and not suited for the needs of today's world. Their decision, shared in a video on social media, has sparked intense debate and criticism among internet users.
The parents believe that their children are being educated in the same manner as they, their parents, and even their grandparents were, a method they see as irrelevant and inappropriate for today's world. This was a key factor in their decision. The mother added that they aim to prevent their children from adopting similar mindsets and behaviors to their peers, which are influenced by the values and information from other households that may not align with their own.
Both parents criticized the country's education system for its focus on meeting grade-level standards, adhering to schedules, and following rules that they believe prepare children to be employees rather than fostering independence and the pursuit of their dreams.
This video and the parents' perspective have ignited a controversy and sparked a broad discussion on the relevance of traditional education and the need for its modernization. While some support the parents' freedom to educate their children as they deem appropriate, others warn of the potential risks of denying children a formal education and the social interaction it offers.
