The workforce and country in your proposed system will be pretty dysfunctional if “nobody speaks the same language”.
The reality is there’s no single way to learn, but there’s plenty of good-enough ways.
- daymanstep 9mo agoPretty sure he was being ironic. There's no way someone would seriously suggest that every student should speak a completely different language.
- alex43578 9mo agoEven if that’s a metaphor for hyper-personalized education, my point still stands. Society and the labor market benefits from everyone meeting a baseline level of education across certain areas. Ideally, everyone that graduates high school can read and write English at a HS level, perform basic algebra, understand percentages and interest rates, etc. For the purposes of school, there’s no need for “diversity of thought” in the school system - we aren’t even delivering on the basics these days.
