"I like the emphasis on education. But I disagree with the use of terminology. I allowed my children to become well educated adults without sending them to school and without homeschooling, by following the principles of unschooling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unschooling).
Education in our modern societies implies the imposition of knowledge; a top-down, authoritarian concept. I think a more appropriate term would be learning. Children have an innate desire to learn, which is often stifled by systems of education. Therefore, I feel we should be talking about free access to learning, not education. In a related note on the issue of overpopulation, it has been consistently shown by scientific studies that the most effective way to reduce the human birthrate is to allow women to have free and equal access to learning."
