Passage B
Children can perhaps be best described as beings of potential during their schools
years.
Each child is in the process of discovering their talents and having them be cared for
in an attempt to best reach self-actualization.
Under the homeschooling system parents become much more exclusive mentors to
a child, and this can be problematic. Although parents are generally aware of what
their children is capable of, their evaluations are not always precise.
This could be for a number of reasons. First, it may due to the fact that children are
predominantly seen in the home environment, limiting their chances to show off their
potential in other situations. It could also be because parents sometimes assume that
their children will share the same talents that they had. Simply stated, it would be
unreasonable to assume parents could see the whole pictures.
