Kids are not robots and learn at different rates in different topics and it is functions of genetics and experience, it is wrong to very large extent to train everyone equally outside basics of reading, arithmetic. Objective of education should be to maximize kids learning opportunities in topics they are interested and display some predisposition from age of 4 and beyond.
Standard that one size of 10+ years of education fits all is false. Yes, some kids my have no interests and/or predispositions, it does not mean they failed in any meaningful way, eventually they find something given opportunities (similarly but less strict/competitive education is today) they are passionate about.
- sqqqqrly 5y agoTrue, kids are not robots. One must assume America can live with less American scientists and engineers. As the years pass, fewer and fewer. Who will create the next vaccine technology? Probably won't be an American.
