I started 28 years ago and will never really end as I believe in life learning. But my youngest of four turned 18 last year, so my legislated responsibility for their learning is done. I started for a few reasons but there was one primary reason that was the clincher for me. I didn't want my children to grow up with an institutionalised mentality of life. Born, Kindergarten, Primary School, Secondary School, University, Work, Marry, Have Children, Nursing Home, Die. It is still a struggle as our social system is structured this way. But I did my bit to change it.
