A fair balanced view of the world, I think a lot of education taught at secondary/high schools these days has a lot of political bias which is wrong. A broad knowledge of subjects is vital. More focus should be given to physical & mental health too! :)

I think telling your child they can be what ever they want to be if they put their mind to it, encourages them, and always be supportive, and no matter what tell them you are proud of them and you love them.

Less pressure please. We know what works so implementing it is key. Fee paying education is good for some, but all the class and hidden barriers need tearing down. All agencies need to work together to gain the most out of people. I am naturally a pleaser, compliant and love serving, but got no encouragement to hone these skills into a successful career of servitude. I would make a great servant and I'd love it but this type of work is sadly not valued here. Each to her own, and own it.

Happiness 100% and studying a broad curriculum.

inculcating a love of learning.
The actual subject matter is less important.
