I’m sorry. I feel that you are being a bit cynical.

If I consciously expose my child to foreign cultures and varied perspectives, he won’t be a product of the government even if he is publicly schooled

Anyway, I cannot imagine spending 24/7 with my children. I will go mad from the lack of outside stimulus haha

Ultimately our children don’t belong to us… but they certainly don’t belong to the government or state 

I think home schools are illegal in Western Europe

I think you mentioned a golden rule of parenting. We may invest our heart and soul but ultimately our children don’t belong to us, so their success or failure can only be partially attributed to our efforts. They are their own person.
