It is sad… that people have got into the habit of handing over their children to others to be raised, regardless of who these others are – a school, or some other institution.
They simply hand their children over, often not knowing what kind of world-view will be inculcated in them, or what destiny awaits them as a result of somebody’s particular teaching.
By giving children over to an uncertain future, they are actually depriving themselves of their own children.
This is why children whom mothers hand over to someone else to be taught learning often forget their mothers in turn.”
~ Anastasia, Ringing Cedars of Russia, Co-Creation, ch. 33: School, or the Lessons of the Gods
This quote has stayed with me.
Over the last few years, I've seen a noticeable shift. Families questioning the structures they once assumed were necessary. Some have begun reshaping how their children engage with learning. Others are still in that quiet stage of wondering if there might be a better way.
It doesn’t always require drastic change. Sometimes it’s just a different lens. More involvement. More trust in our own instincts. More remembering that education is about life, not just information.
Have you questioned the path your children are on? Or the one you were placed on?

I didn’t think I’d get it. Then I did. Very satisfying.
