Question

How should the young be educated—what is important and what not? Who should control education: the parents, the student, the society or the state? Should a student be taught to think for himself or to adopt the beliefs of the society? Should man be educated to be free and live for his own interests; or to subjugate his desires to serve others or the state? ¯see Question EIGHT.

Answer 1

I believe that teachers and parents are more of a guide to children's learning than actual educators. I mean you think about all of the stuff children learn before they go to school and they are just guided and even in school, the teacher guides children to the answer. I think that children should be taught more about morals and the goverment should stop dumbing down education. The government now sugar coat children by when they get things wrong instead of saying 'no' that's not right it's 'good try' why do they insist on not letting children know that they are failures then they might actually buck up their ideas and behave and do well in school.

Answer 2

Young people should be educated so that they can think and have their own options. People should also be educated to be polite, caring and friendly towards others.
