Standardized Failure
I am tired of standardized failure. The American classroom-style education system does not exist to teach people to the best of their ability to learn, but instead to teach students to the lowest common denominator, thus wasting as much as 90% of the time for quicker students and bleeding from many of them the desire to learn. It exists to create factory workers or perhaps telemarketing workers, not to find and foster genius.
I count amongst my friends some of the best educators in the world; some of them are even teachers. I admire them for their achievements, patients, and willingness to try. The best educators understand that the first thing you have to do to get people to learn is to engage them, not put barriers between students and whatever you want to teach them.
Can you envision an education system that fulfills the needs of advanced, average and slower students? Do you have ideas on getting youth involved in educational activities?
