Who here feels

That the western systems of academia are too light and easy on our children to the point of hindering progression? I know a lot of schools do play based learning for a very long time and also have an easy/slow paced approach to helping children move on to the next level. Do you feel they are too gentle with their approach and that they don’t push children hard enough to unlock their optimal potential? I feel that they have gone very soft on children in this generation and if you have high expectations of a child or challenge them that is looked at as almost abusive or a form of ‘hot housing’. If we are told that we only ever access a minute portion of our brain and very rarely access the entirety of it, doesn’t that indicate a populace that is too lazy or de motivated to try and unlock the absolute potential? I know in some European countries they can be quite strict and diligent with ensuring children meet very high standards but that is looked down upon by say those further west. What are you thoughts?

Because it’s one big ass paragraph. It needs to be broken up so it doesn’t look so overwhelming.

I think you're wrong!

People aren't here to be slaves to some textbook

they're here to CREATE

If you didn’t learn about your ancestral past and history you wouldn’t be able to engage in these endless rants that you have. Not saying they’re all wrong or bad but you had to inform yourself so you could have a more elevated sense of awareness and then in turn be a more functional member of society.

Yes I agree that there is a LOT of misinformation out there in terms of what is taught to children and I agree with Antiochus that the subject matter/topics can be very soft but even if you found an abundance of quality information in another ‘textbook’ being a slave to it isn’t a negative thing.
