Here's my policy idea for education.
No standardised, state run, state funded schooling.
Funding should be given directly, each child gets a fund, their parents, or guardians, get given this fund in the form of tokens. Like the german healthcare system, they have to choose an educational provision for their child. If they want to add more with their own money they can.
Now obviously there needs to be safety measures and some regulation around what essentials must be provided and educational provisions. But there will be no single recognised standardised test.
This way you get market competition for education. This way you can get your child in the environment that best suits them because you can come up with any combination or school you choose. If there is a demand, it will come up. If there isn't you have been given the funding to get it together yourself, possibly with some other parents.
I wonder sometimes if the way we teach math isn’t too abstracted from the sort of useful and interesting projects that might get students interested.
No matter what A student wants to do, math is going to be a useful tool.
I was diagnosed as dyslexic and reading was and is difficult for me compared to other people, but I was aware that there were all these interesting things to be found out through reading and that made it worth the struggle.
It was much easier for me to increase my Reading proficiency when I was at the same time learning other interesting things.
I didn’t see how math could be part of useful and interesting things that I wanted to know and do and I think that’s often the case.
For most of us math is going to be a tool, not an end in itself.
There is a big reason we need to learn math in school, to prevent stupid people who dont understand math to exist and spread misinformation.
Gotta say though, teachers can really make or break a topic for you, at least when you're younger
No human was made to live a life of tests of comparison to standards rather than tests of self-improvement. Nor any young boy his childhood behind a desk rather than play and exercise. Nor any young man in his teens not looking for mates or caring about his physical health rather supposed to only care about his his school work, job hours, and amount of sleep he can get by having (I know many like this, myself included when I was in highschool and college).
Modern society isn't natural, not how long we work, not how we compare ourselves to others, not the ratio of reliance we have on others rather than ourselves, not even the society we live in.
We are social creatures. Pack hunters at our core. That's what we were built for. Put that young boy through a life with female teachers who punish his male qualities(gifts) at a young age and reward sitting still for long periods of time and limiting social interaction to "classroom discussion", your setting him up for mental health crisis's in the future.
Those moments from the moment he can walk to the moment he settles down with a family are supposed to be the greatest times of his life and prepare him for his proudest.
Reject modern teaching practices!!!
