Is a childs educational "success" the sum of all the numbers she has memorized?
what good is knowing a ton of facts if you can't think for yourself.
if you can't reason critically.
problem solve.
think outside the box.
be curious.
these "model" schools irritate me so. children need to be encouraged to wonder.Approach the world with confidence and questions not stressed to find the "right" answer. otherwise we will only raise a generation of follwers
