Who started the Education? the Child or the Parent?

Child... Education can be taught by others or self taught.  We self teach ourselves before we ever even meet our parents, and continue that way of learning throughout our lives.

It depends on what age level you are talking about. In the United States, officially, kids with Special Education Needs have the same voice as everyone else (that's the whole point behind IDEA). Parents control a child's educational programming until the age of 14, when the child is officially recognized as having a voice during IEP meetings (but not control). At the age of 18 (unless so severe/profound that the state grants parents extended guardianship) the child becomes the one controlling the educational programming.\n\nAll parents have a lot more control over things than they realize... choice of teacher, of school and program, how discipline will be administered, etc. Parents of kids with SEN also have a strong voice (if they choose to use it) in the IEP meetings to help define their child's program.

Are you asking how mother are important to the socialization. They are the child's first exposure to the world. Mothers have an important role that could forever alter the course of history.

The best info, to me, come from the french researcher Piaget.  He used is own children to study the development of a child, on many aspect (awareness, feeding, sensitivity, biological).  Here is a website with all the main researcher links. You cannot have a better answer.\nhttp://www2.yk.psu.edu/~mer7/theorists.htm

the student is responsible for their choices. A great teacher will facilitate learning in a stimulating and comprehensive way but the child must make the choice and the commitment to learn.

*sigh* Ok I need an hour to address this one. \n\nThere are so many factors to consider. School environment of course is a huge factor in a child's education and success. I agree that teacher's have a huge responsibility in making sure the students not only learn the skills but also the processes of learning. But just as a doctor's responsibility is to diagnose and prescribe the best cure, a teacher must diagnose a child's learning style and adjust their teaching style to accomodate those of the students. If a doctor has tried several prescriptions and the patient's body is not responding, do we blame the doctor? Therefore, why do we jump to blaming the teacher after he or she have tried several methods of teaching the material to the student? Do we blame the lawyer for not getting the serial murderer off the hook despite the evidence? Definitely not. \n\nDo we blame the policeman when crime is still on the streets? Hmmmm.......seems like we do. Do we blame the butcher for selling us tough meat when we overcook our steaks? Hmmmmm.......yes again. Do we blame the President of the United States when all domestic issues just don't seem to go according to plan? Yep......we surely do. So why is this? Could it be that society has gotten to a point where we refuse to accept our responsibilities? Are we spending more times placing blame on others instead of finding ways to make improvements starting right in our own households?\n\nTeachers, as all other professions, carry a heavy burden. But parents need to realize that the way their child learns is greatly influenced by the standards they set very early in life. If children know they are responsible for their behavior.....they behave. When children know they are held responsible for their learning......they become a student in every sense of the word. Teachers can teach and teach and teach and spoon feed and coddle and still a child that is not motivated to succeed will make no progress. \n\nIs it the fault of teachers that students don't always score high on tests? All cases are different........but indeed if we put our faith in the firemen, policemen, doctors, lawyers and politicians of the community.......we should surely lay our faith with the educators of today. \n\nLet education start at home.

I think alot of parents are teaching their kids at home because they want to control what is being taught  to their kids. I am one of those parents. They are teaching kids therorys instead of facts. I teach my kids facts about life.

a child is created in his/her parents image, a gene from each  shapes the child, they decide the action that starts the creation, but yet a child  for the most part, is not equal to the parent,,,,\n\nand please dont classify all believers or even all believers in Jesus, into one group lol  i do both, yet are not christian

I think that education is as much a family thing as it is a schooling thing. There are so many parents these days who have no interest in what their kids are learning. A child needs the basics to be supplied at home before any teacher can get them interested in learning.

This is best explained in this joke. No offence intented, the word 'You' and "Your" is used in general sense and not indicating any person who is reading it.\n" Your parent discover each other, and then they invented you".............lol

I think the parents should co-operate with the school and show respect to the teachers who work so hard to educate their children.  If the parents don't set an example of valueing education and respecting those who teach their children, things won't improve.  Parents should realize that loving and supporting their children doesn't mean accepting everything they do without judgment.  If their children have done something wrong, they should accept the consequences and only this way can they guide them back to the right way.  How can a child know what's wrong and what's right when his/her parents say "oh, I love my child and will stand by him/her, no matter what or oh, I'm so proud of him/her... blah-blah-blah" when he/she has done something awful (getting pregnant, bullying others, getting into trouble with asbo...)and unforgivable (robbing, mugging, killing...).  Parents in this country are sometimes too tolerant of their children's wrongdoings and this is not the way to love their children.
