I Think That Any Important Educational Goal

We Should Spend Less Time Ranking Children And More Time Helping Them To Identify Their Natural Competencies And Gifts And Cultivate These. There Are Hundreds And Hundreds Of Ways To Succeed And Many, Many Different Abilities That Will Help You Get There.

But Once We Realize That People Have Very Different Kinds Of Minds, Different Kinds Of Strengths -- Some People Are Good In Thinking Spatially, Some In Thinking Language, Others Are Very Logical, Other People Need To Be Hands On And Explore Actively And Try Things Out -- Then Education, Which Treats Everybody The Same Way, Is Actually The Most Unfair Education.

The Biggest Mistake Of Past Centuries In Teaching Has Been To Treat All Students As If They Were Variants Of The Same Individual And Thus To Feel Justified In Teaching Them All The Same Subjects The Same Way.

Education Is At A Turning Point

I Think That Any Important Educational Goal Can Be Realized Via Several Routes.
