Great question. I was thinking about this myself and found it very difficult to answer so I thought about what they absolutely cannot do without learning instead.

My answer is to teach them english (reading, writing and speaking) and computers. If I can teach them these basic skills they can learn anything by themselves.

We live in Thailand where its very expensive to get a good education in english. So I took my kids out of school and hired a teacher to give a very strong foundation in english. I'm teaching them computers. After a while I'll teach them basic maths and then I'll let them choose what they want to learn themselves.

My goal is to give them a love of learning, to help them find out what they love to do and give them the time and tools to become an expert in that.
