Oh for sure kiddos are really fantastic problem solvers from a young age! It's really wild how the educational system quite literally beats that out of them in so many ways. John Taylor Gatto explains it very well - the education system we have now is used to produce more obedient soldiers and workers. It is the Prussian model from many decades past and is working quite well for the machine. Hopefully with the considerable increase in homeschooling of kids, we can fight back that nonsense!
Definitely! I think the prussian model is already crumbling as it has outlived its usage. For those of us who were fully immersed in it, I think it'll take some time and effort before we can rewire our brain differently and the current state of the world helps quite a lot in that regard.
Thanks for stopping by :)
