Kids go to school and get pumped full of memory testing processes. All pupils are considered as a homegenous lump with standard academic subjects as their 'choice' which is decided by policitians.
I always thought people were different and not 'bricks in a wall' so I have thought of a new way.
Scrap the subjects and related testing and try to ascertain the intention of education - to arm the brain with a range of cognitive skills.
Such skills include: reasoning, team work, communication, application of knowledge, etc. Why not try to build upon these skills?
In addition, some pupils may not be 'geared' to academic endevour but may be highly skilled in arts, crafts, and hands-on topics.
I propose a new education whereby the individual skillset of each pupil is assessed and these skills are developed by an individual learning program - each pupil will have their own tailor-made skill development program and as such, the best of each pupil can be delivered instead of mass education.
