Our Children Unites and Motivates Us

It is really depressing these days to read about our leaders are busy playing politics, fighting for positions and forgetting that we the people are suffering.

However, there is a glimmer of home when Wai Leng and I were in Ipoh recently to talk to homeschoolers and potential homeschoolers. What brought us all together were our children and our concern about their future. We, do not need to fight the system but instead thread a separate
path of alternative education. Moving the goal-post as it were. Most of us have given up hope on the current education system already.

We are not happy to merely "out-source" this critical function. It is sad that our world is moving so fast ahead in all aspects while our leaders here are still squabbling of what language to use to teach science and maths! The situation is so bad that even our education ministers (past and present) do not believe in it anymore. I am glad that glad that some of us do not need to worry about this anymore. Perhaps this is our contribution to social change. With our kids leading the way, it compels parents like to be empowered to take a greater responsibility in the education process of our children.

Something can be done and people are doing it. Most parents walked out happier and saw that they were not alone. If we all (squabbling leaders included), think of their children and sincerely want to do something for them, we probably will not be in this political mess we are in right now.

Our children can truly unite and motivate us, if we allow it.
