The hell kinda schools do they have around you? I promise you no school I ever attended even tried to do that. Anyone who had potential had to skirt around the school system.
- Pigalowda 4y agoI don't think your statement is disagreeing with his? Your school system elevated the students to the system's IQ upper bound. A different school system or style of education would have a different upper bound.
- maximus-decimus 4y agoMy argument is that the system is good enough to get the kids to their biological upper bound. Otherwise, we would be able to increase their IQ further through other means, but it seems we just can't. I don't think the school system is necessarily efficient at it, but kids do spend an insane amount of time in school. I imagine people would reach their athletic upper bound too if they spent 8 hours a day in the gym from the age of 5 to the age of 18.
