In your letter, respond to the issues raised and express your own

opinions.
Dear Editor,
These days many parents give their children the freedom to make
their own decisions from a very early age. They argue that this
freedom helps children to learn from their mistakes and gives them
the maturity and confidence to deal with the resonsibilities of adult
life. I dont agree. It is totally irresponsible to let young people make
their own choices about friendship, leisure activities and later on, vital
decisions about their future lives.
Some people consider that much of our school education is a waste of
time. These people argue that we are only motivated to learn what is
relevant and useful to us based on our experience. Therefore, as
most of our education happens at such an early age, it is surely
necessary to rethink what people really need to learn at school.
