Since every effort in our educational life seems to be directed toward making of the child a being foreign to itself, it must of necessity produce individuals foreign to one another, and in everlasting antagonism with each other.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is a 'sanctity' involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
You need to prepare the child you have for the world that exists.
If you bring a child into the world, you have a responsibility to that child in every sense of the word.
Soon the child learns that there are strangers, and ceases to be a child.
The child, merely by going on with his life, learns to speak the language belonging to his race. It is like a mental chemistry that takes place in the child.
The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without his teacher.
A child rightly trained may be a world-wide blessing, with an influence reaching onward to eternal years. But a neglected or misdirected directed child may live to blight and blast mankind, and leave influences of evil which shall roll on in increasing volume till they plunge into the gulf of eternal perdition.
I believe in allowing your child to be who they want to be - as long as they want to be something great.
Children are sent to school to be civilized, to learn to be part of the social enterprise.
Children are to be born into a family where the parents hold the needs of children equal to their own in importance. And children are to love parents and each other.
