I agree. Our schools and their curriculum do not suit every child and needs a revamp.
I look to examples of Swedish schools. A more progressive, individualised approach. Even high school start an hour later due to evidence based knowledge that teens, who are going through hormonal changes, can’t focus properly and starting later actually improves their focus while they are there.
While I believe core subjects should still be met, I think we are behind here, need to understand mainstream education does not suit every child.
More choices and other pathways to cater to individual people.
Instead of the pressure to be great at what schools tell us we should be.
Find a child’s strength and passion help them educate themselves towards that.
This article isn’t about shitty teachers.
Our teachers are wonderful.
But maybe our current curriculum needs to be reviewed.
