To miss out on it is awful for the individual and it has a negative effect on the community. So many life skills are picked up at school, as well as knowledge and logic, it's the best defence against ignorance out there. But to miss out on it because your parents don't see the value in it/can't be bothered to send you to school is, well, one of the worst things that can happen to a child. |
I completely agree with you, Education is one of the most important things that can be provided to its children. The thing is this is provided by the government, not forced on you by the government.
I understand the dilemna that is presented with the stereotypical "welfare mom." I am kind of torn on what the best way to deal with these problems as most of my solutions require contraversial changes to welfare or criminal system.
