If you can drop a bunch of tablets in a village and kids can get themselves up to speed with no supervision, I sure that these problems are insurmountable :-)

The more I read about learning, the more I think structure, testing and to a lesser extent supervision are detrimental to younger kids. My little girl brings home weekly spelling tests at the age of 5, I'd much rather give her things like this, a minimal amount of instruction and let her loose!

- thefreeman 13y agojust an FYI, but judging from the context of your comment I think you may mean "surmountable". Insurmountable means they cannot be overcome. I have to totally agree with you about learning though. I went to a Montessori school for much of my youth and really attribute my love for learning to it. The day is divided into blocks, and the classroom is divided into sections of activities related to subjects. The child has to do a certain number of activities for each subject each week, but they get to choose when and what they did.
