I'm kinda on the fence for most of this stuff.
Thing is, school is pretty different depending on where you're from. I have a buddy from Canada that told me once, that his school was super progressive.
That aside though, I think most of these things are just dynamics that happen when you put hundreds upon thousands of kids in one place. Stuff like following people and being different. I think that's just a product of growing up.
I 100% agree with you on the right-side of the brain point though. Changing testing methods is one thing school can and should do.
Anyways, great post! :)
True... I don't even wanna talk about the Soviet schools - believe me I know them well ) (yes, I am THAT old lol)
You're as young as you wish to be ;) (too corny? yeah too corny...)
