Agreed.

Even when advocacy appears to be successful (and especially when it isn't), parents may wish to seek other options, including afterschooling and enrichment... to help a child begin exploring the value of being lifelong learners.

The concept of being life-long learners... developing internal locus of control... owning one's education... embracing a no-ceilings approach... making connections to slices of information in other classes, or (better yet) connections to news, history, current events, displays at local museums, topics coming up in conversations, lived experiences, etc... helps develop a well-rounded person.
