Devoting the daily free time of children to education-related activities is a topic of ongoing debate among parents. Some parents believe that using leisure time for educational purposes is very vital. Others argue that taking free hours away from offspring hinders creativity and mental and physical growth. In my view, some parental control over teenager’s free time for educational errands is viable, however, parents should not allocate free time for learning the school curriculum and should respect offspring's autonomy as that is imperative for mental and physical well-being.
