"Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves"

- Ernest Dimnet

About this Quote

This quote by Ernest Dimnet talks to the importance of both formal education and self-education. Formal education is important for children to learn the essentials of reading, writing, and math, in addition to the more complex subjects such as history, science, and literature. However, official education alone is not enough to prepare children for the world. They must likewise be offered the chance to inform themselves. This suggests allowing them to explore their interests, ask questions, and make mistakes. It indicates offering them with the resources and assistance they need to discover responses and establish their own viewpoints. Self-education is a vital part of a child's advancement, as it helps them to become independent thinkers and issue solvers. It also assists them to establish a sense of self-esteem and self-regard. Eventually, kids require both formal education and self-education in order to become successful, well-rounded grownups.
