Jostein GaarderThe rearing of children is considered too important to be left to the individual and should be the responsibility of the state.
About This Quote
This quote is a great reminder for parents that they are not alone in the labor of rearing children. The state should take over the responsibility of raising our children, as it is more important than the individual's. We all have to work together as a society to ensure the welfare of our children.
