The Best Education Starts At Home

 

"Train up a child in they way he or she should go,
and when they are old, they will not depart from it."
(Proverbs 22:6)

*"I believe it would be much better for everyone if children were given their
 start in education at home.  No one understands a child as well as his mother,
and children are so different that they need individual training and study.
A teacher with a roomful of pupils cannot do this.
At home, too, they are in a mother's care.
She can keep them from learning immoral things..."
