I agree with your son. I hated school as a child and would often pretend to be sick so I didn’t have to go. Now I’m 76 but I still hate school, although I love learning. I don’t have children but if I did, I would do my best to find some good tutors and home school them, plus take them traveling and teaching them foreign languages as much as possible. When I was a child my parents had friends from all over the world who told us all about their adventures. That was so much more interesting than school could ever be.
I agree with you. If parents have the ability to do that, it surpasses school education. After all, it used to be this way before formal schooling! As you might expect, in ancient times, education was primarily the responsibility of families and communities. Children learned practical skills from their parents and experts, such as farming or crafting, and religious education was also important.
