    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.
