Education

I think education starts at birth. By watching everyday life, you learn more than you'll ever learn in a school setting. I believe parents should use this to their advantage. Teaching respect, manners, and academics at an early age ingrains it into the child, and stays with them into adulthood. As for education in my country, I think it's decent, as long as you can afford the right kind of schools or live in the good part of town. Most schools, though, are a bit of a disgrace. I've met college students who don't know the difference between "your" and "you're", or how to calculate change in their head. It saddens me, and I live in the United States.
