Plato was one of those on the forefront of theories related to education, Plato foresees
man is able to free himself from the false knowledge generated by the opinions.
Also incorporating Platos conception in this theme, Gandhi opined that education
should be the stepping stone to knowledge and wisdom
Homeschooling today
Current homeschool regulations and most proposals for how to improve them
misjudge the complexity of such an endeavor; state resources are misused and the
basic interests of children are not protected. Theoretical arguments about the relative
interests of parents, children and the state are important to consider, but our policies
must also recognize the limits of what we can and should demand of this unique form
of nonpublic schooling. A more modest approach to regulation that focuses on basic
skills testing would ultimately be more effective at helping the students (Kunzman, R,
2009)
