|#95 MWAVC| - Traditional education is not it.
The flawed theory is that A+ students become good leaders.
There’s no reason to think that this should be true.
Doing well on tests, paying attention to what’s being asked, being diligent in short-term error correction–these are three hallmarks of someone who is good at school.
None of these are important once you’re charged with charting a new path, with figuring out what to do next. In fact, they get in the way.
We invented the educational regime to produce compliant factory workers. But the most compliant aren’t always suited to be the bravest, the most empathic or the most intuitive.
Above from Seth Godin’s blog. You’d find a lot of sense in what he’s saying, but many parents will still disagree. :ppl i and read A More Beautiful Question and The Power of not knowing understand why this is a problem, considering the different times we’re moving to. Traditional education is not necessarily the answer. Thoughts? And subscribe to Seth’s blog btw.
