Is the family still responsible for education?
We are facing a series of monumental changes because everything is known, It is changing, the problems are different and the solutions too. The way of seeing the world is different from how our parents and grandparents saw it, The education we have received can no longer be put into practice with children now and that implies a challenge: “To respond to a society immersed in a globalization process, pushed by a vertiginous development of technology. ”(Ojeda, M. M.)
But that challenge, Who is the one who is taking it? The government, society, The educational system, The family? “Certainly parents and family constitute the first large space for the formation of the human being…The person learns at home through family relationships, In the community where he lives, In gangs and friendship groups " (Bruni, J.)
Thus, the first responsible for education are parents and family together is the first training space. But before so many social and specific family changes, For family disintegration (and a probable family reintegration with new members at stake) Education becomes increasingly complex.
It seems that education is this time is more difficult to carry out. With several members at stake to impose rules and discipline, With different hierarchies of values, With disagreements involved. Even if the family is traditional, They are the same problems but more complex
The family today needs to reflect on their educational guidelines, become aware of their responsibility in children's education. The complexity of current life is escaped and this seriously affects the child, dragging problems of school and family that arise in daily reality. (Valle López, A.)
Therefore it is necessary that the complete family be dedicated to thinking about the education objective of their children and this can only be done through a family educational plan. Generally, alludes to the design and thinking of doing something, Which is premeditation, forecast and ordering; but, in a technical sense, “It refers to the ordering of a set of activities, Combining Human Resources, materials, financial and technical is carried out with the purpose of achieving a certain objective or result. (Madrid, Alix).
This tool is necessary for today's families, so that there is an educational objective, a sharing, a dialogue and established commitments. With this tool you can exercise proper authority and the children will be maintained with clear objectives in life. And this will help proper family functioning, impacting the son directly.
