This, I can't agree more!

When I was attending school, I remember it to be more of a survival camp and adjustment to structures than anything else. I hated it with passion and yet I was expected to bring good grades. As a result I developed need for isolation and other psychological issues and it took me more than decade to realize and partially self-cure.

That's why I'm striving to give my kids happy childhood and schooling that they can enjoy. They learn to obtain knowledge and experiences, and not to game the system. I am not building safety cocoon around them, we do have crisis's and we go through them together, not ignoring them and pretending nothing happens. I know, that when they reach the age they will take initiative and assume responsibilities.
