UNLESS you were willing to learn alongside your children. As they began to understand geography, you might be able to work with a world globe or atlas. Their mathematics would overwhelm you, unless you’d been with them as they learned the foundations of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. Some of the information you’d already have, just from working in a business world. The rest of it would be information you could readily learn if you were open to such education.

Learning should be a lifelong endeavor. Whether it takes place in a classroom or out in the world, we never stop adding information to our brains.
