  They stressed on education when i was a child, so that I get as much knowledge as possible. Apart from studying they let me do what i like, encouraging the curious nature within me.

  They put an important focus on education and homework. I like to think it has paid off!

I think that learning new things will help everyone in the future and will encourage them to do more research in that particular subject/topic to gain further knowledge.

Yes, true…if a parent encourages his/her child to explore new things and learn from it, it will be great for the child’s development.
