This is the tenth article in a series about dormitory education. The previous article presented a possible compromise position.

These articles do not present the institutional point of view. However, let's think about it logically.

This complicated issue deals with two different things. The parents want to raise their children according to the family tradition and the school which wants to raise the child according to its own approach and method of study.

Here’s where the plot thickens.

If someone would ask which tradition is more important the question is likely to be posed to a representative of - you guessed it - the school system. That person will answer that the child should be trained by the school. This is unfair. Why not ask someone who is more objective? Ask someone who can see both the parents’ and the school’s side of the story.

The answer is quite simple. The system makes the parent feel that he or she is not knowledgeable enough to make the decisions about their own child. The experts in the educational system, are the "right" ones to respond. They recommend that the child be placed in a dormitory. Most people actually believe in this system and they give their children away prematurely.
