News / Lech Walesa urged to "reduce Russia" to 50 million people [366]
I do understand where they are coming from but they are misguided in my opinion. Don't take into account many factors, the fact that not every kid thrives in highly competitive environment etc.
Thank you. I wasn't a bad student but I could never be ar*ed to apply myself properly. I started to be better in high school and uni thanks to implementing strategies better suited to my needs (e.g. a big game changer for me was writing on loose pages in uni that I could sort into subjects later. I was always notorious for forgetting my specific notepad in school and then I couldn't carry on taking notes until I rewrote the missing notes etc. One year my friends rewritten few notebooks for me just because the teachers were so obsessed with them :) ) Not to mention at that stage I had greater impact as to what I'm learning
It's quite funny really. When I was in primary school we had a school that was always in competition with us. Both schools wanted to be on top. The other schools had a bit better area (only slightly as they were like 2 streets apart) and the approach of making 'better classes' with smarter kids. Mine didn't. Yet for all the years me and my siblings went there we kicked their asse* in sports and a learning competitions.
Of course there is.
And I do believe it was better if it was done at 16. Kids rarely know themselves yet, can have a clash with certain teachers etc. How many times did we see kids downmarked by teachers?
I haven't observed or experienced this "fact" during my education.

Lenka is intelligent and logical, so I personally doubt that she was a bad student.

Everybody knew what were the best schools in my city and all the smart kids wanted to get in.

You can think what you want. I was the lazy student that hears 'if only you applied yourself you could have straight As". Never had a problem with the material as such. Never was even close to be left behind at any year.
I just strongly believe in education and it's great powers. I also believe everyone should be given a shot and 70% shouldn't be disregarded.

Why limit their potential? They have all the resources they need.
Not feel good but reach their potential. Why does the potential of smart kids is above the potential of the less gifted?
Besides the prestige. Which means more money, being able to hire better professors, having better research facilities and being attractive to students with better results
In Poland, at 14 (just year after Kania's cut off point) kids choose secondary school and at that stage the more gifted get swooshed together and the same goes for less gifted. No interference

You are correct but it doesn't mean you need someone with a gun. Again, Polish police uses guns very sporadically. It's for years less then 200 times a year.
Government doesn't have a monopoly. People can get a permit. It's just much more complex than USA. And Poles like it that way
Nobody calls 911 unless it's an emergency.

And yes, we do license who can use them, same with guns.
Because I needed different services. But no, I didn't need police for their guns.

Why are you so obsessed? She said already she is not going to give the info.
Can I ask what appeals to you in those?
I'm very practical (to the point it can be a vice) and I think that's why I like renovating, building flatpacks etc. That is also why I like furniture restoration/ flipping.
I am devout however of any artistic talent and any crafts don't interest me at all.

Definitely better that way.
Maybe not fascinating but enough to get themselves a trade.
You are. A 13 yo with limited writing/ reading and basic maths, with no trade, most likely not very involved parents thrown into the adult world... Makes sense....
For one, it's a big, huge assumption that the kids t you are thinking about would be the ones to quit. Most kids at 13 find school an obstacle in real life. I knew plenty of intelligent kids that would jump at the opportunity.
Whil there is place for manual labour don't try to pretend it exists in abundance. And factories are definitely getting out of those people reach
1- you don't have to be gifted to learn how to be a plumber, hairdresser etc.
2- I think you are really overestimating parents. The amount of times I heard people calling theirs 5 and 6 yo ' not academic ' and not giving any support to give the kids a chance.
Easy solution - guys stop doing the jobs and pay will increase! Great solution Torq!
And then we go into legal stuff- kids labour, who gets the salary, what protection you have in place to protect those kids from things they shouldn't be involved in etc...
What is better - parents pushing kids out to schools
Definitely better that way.
and then suddenly find studying fascinating.

What a load of bollo**.
1- it would encourage parents pushing kids out of education to start working.
2- some kids are late bloomers and find interest in learning later.
3- there is the option of joining vocational school and learn a trade, much better then throwing them into the world with nothing.
4- bad economically as the less educated the workforce the less mobile, adaptable etc.
5- work is becoming more and more automated. There is less and less work for simply manual work.
, over 13, should continue learning but it should no longer be compulsory, and should be considered a privilege not a right.
