    As long as those values do not override those of other parents, go at it.

    Parents should always have the right to remove their child from a situation they do not agree with. They should never have the right to tell other parents or teachers how to teach other children.

      Parents should always have the right to remove their child from a situation they do not agree with.

      At some point, the child would start thinking for themselves and their decisions should be given value too, as long as it isn’t illegal or detrimental. Far too often, we hear of children wanting vaccine shots but parents not allowing them to.

        Oh of course, I feel like it goes without saying that this is in reference to young school-age children.

        My personal opinion, would be that the age cut off for where a child’s rights supersede the opinions of their parents would probably be 13 or 14.

        Honestly the less rights parents have the better, IMO. They need certain rights just to operate but man, some of them are very shit people.
