The thing most folks miss is that school/duration isn’t just “fact Aquisition” it’s training the brain to think in different ways and that builds intelligence. It forces the brain to build the connections for each type of thought process so you have them available whenever needed. This doesn’t happen naturally. Yes there is a native style of thinking for each of us that develops naturally but the other modes lag behind unless trained and forced to build connections. So schooling ( if you do it properly) actually builds intelligence as well as developing a a knowledge base to use that intelligence on/with.
The problem is most schools are run to make money, not to succeed in making people smarter.
They give the EXACT SAME curriculum to everyone, never adjusting for learning style or anything. A few lucky souls may benefit, but most will not.
Actually the vast majority of schools are public schools and are not run to make money. I’ll grant that private schools and charter schools are but they aren’t the majority ( they have other problems as well but that is another story). At this point I’ve been a teacher for nearly 40 years and worked in 10 different schools in 4 different systems from the middle school level to the college level. Even in the same schools it’s not the same curriculum even if the it’s the same basic content. Who the teacher is and what they do matters. That is why I said “ when they work”. Some teachers are far better at getting students to develop thinking skills than others. We actually do try to adjust for learning levels, learning styles and learning engagement. No schools are not perfect but teachers generally try to teach thinking skills at least as much as “fact acquisition”. Are as successful as we would like - probably not, but we are trying.
what do you teach?
