Good thing you didn't read the article then. I'm saying kids shouldn't be bored out of their minds learning in a standardized, uniform environment that ends up teaching at the lowest common denominator (not in every case but most cases). I'm saying give kids the full intellectual terrain of life to learn from. Put them to their own devices instead of the devices of the state and you will be surprised at what they learn. I was fortunate enough to participate in programs at an early age that emphasized this type of learning and it was amazing how quickly one could learn algebra up to calculus if just given a few weeks of passionate learning instead of rote testing. - James Altucher
