> Let's ask the possible instead: ask it to take each person as far as they can go. For those who are gifted, help them to soar with their gifts. For those who are ordinary, make the most of their ordinary talents. For those who are below that, still maximize their ability to use what they have.
I think you have to define possible, because what you are describing isn't possible in our current educational model. You currently have class room with students who range from special needs to gifted in the same class. with K-12 typically having a student ratio of 30:1. There is no reasonable way, a single person can be able to manage an individualized learning plan for all of those students across that level of variance. Hell at 30:1 it's hard to manage even generic group learning, and given the abysmal pay, and non-sense localized school boards who push shit like "alternative theories to creation" as required in the curriculum.
I don't know that given all that we could call what you suggest possible, as it would mean fundamentally changing the whole system.
For the record, I support your concept, just don't think it's currently possible.
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoI said "possible", not "possible within our current approach". But maybe changing our current approach isn't currently possible politically...
