Isn't this what they call Eugenics? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics I know you have to give your kids the best that you can, but you also have to let them find their way. Education helps teach us about what other people have done (by it's very nature is is about the past) and maybe shows kids how to do it too, but it doesn't innovate, and some might argue at a certain level it could be a barrier to innovation. It's the difference between a classically trained singer and James Brown. Would he be who he was if he was classically trained? When you hear a classical musician covering a rock song isn't there always something "just missing"? I'm all for education don't get me wrong, but surely one of the best bits is allowing kids time to educate themselves? If you want your kids to be an innovator or someone who changed the world, then you have to teach them a bit about not following the rules, and self-determination. I have no idea how I would have survived if I didn't have these skills.
