I understand Tara's parents, but I have to say that I disagree. It's not about brainwashing but about expanding the child's potential and knowledge. I firmly believe that schools are not set up to brainwash students. Education is important and I understand the fact that Tara's parents only want the best for their children, but their mentality and arguments such as "the illuminati control the schools and churches" do not make sense. It is possible to learn on your own, but again, schools are there to further develop our abilities and interests.
