What's your take on home schooling and other alternatives to the traditional educational system? Why would you ditch the classic one for your or your children? What do you see as flawed in the current educational system in your part of the world?

Homeschooling for me is quite a good idea for kids who are in the early stages of learning and really do not need much to learn as long as academics is concerned. All they need to know are just basic communication and interactive skills.

This said, the part of education that is flawed in my country (Nigeria), is the discrepancy with what is been taught in school and what the real life entails.

At this age, education should not just be about going to school for the degree but to become a better person in all ramifications; academically, socially, mentally and psychologically.

It is very disheartening that what students are taught in schools, Tertiary institutions are really not what they need to survive in the world out there, yet, the powers that be have refused to revisit and review our education system.

The developed countries did nothing better than us, they only do the right things correctly.

When a child exhibits an interest in a profession or study, all you should do is support him in all ways. Yes, it might not be the most lucrative (as that's what most people give as excuse for not allowing their children follow their passion and enhance), still, enjoying what you do is very paramount either for studying or working.
