Some educational programs have excellent results in short term, but the effect disappears in long term. For example, do some extra activities with kids during the first grade, and they will have measurably better outcomes in the second grade, but will be indistinguishable from their peers by the fifth grade.
- Waterluvian 6y agoEducation is a ball being rolled up a hill. It’s not a bucket being filled with water. Super oversimplified but I’ve found it tells the general story: you can’t just come back to it later and expect to find the same progress. Constant nurturing, whether from yourself or a caregiver or an education system, is what has an impact. And I believe this is true for almost any age.
