| 155. Learning shouldn't have age criteria. |
|
That's one of the biggest problems with public ed. You want to learn geometry this year? Tough, we don't teach that until you're 14. Want to learn a language? Nope, lets wait until after you're in high school to ensure that window of opportunity to learn a new language easily, brain development wise, is closed off at 12. Want to learn to read? Can't do that until you're 7. Ridiculous.
Where have the open minds gone? We're not sheep. We all learn differently. Why would anyone want to stifle learning? With the dumbing down of the last 30-40 years, we should all be rejoicing when we hear about people eager to learn.
