Education at critical moments can allow children to reach their intended maximum intelligence and creativity. It can teach him/her to understand how to interact with other children to enhance problem solving and compromise, to neither bully nor be bullied, to engage in fairness and fun, while respectfully understanding the needs of others.

Certainly on the individual level, but also for the upcoming generation, and our country as these children grow to lead us through the 21st century with the skill of compromise and compassion.
