As a parent I should focus on what's hard for schools to teach: imagination, initiative, independence.
When I was a kid, the goal was to be smart. Not to get a lot done, because you can't easily test that.

I have the better deal. Teaching imagination is a lot more fun than teaching times tables.

Do you think you can more easily test getting a lot done w/ today's kids? Or remains the same?

I feel like alot of my HS/college was about study skills + workload mgmnt, vs intellectual growth. Latter more work to teach & grade

programming allows one to be creative all while thinking strategically. Focus should be on kids learning to program.

Most schools do not support imagination, it's just mass zombie production, so no wonder most kids are depressed and lost.

your main point it's right, but the goal was to be good in school which is <> being smart.

been thinking about this a lot lately, so often we emphasize smartness in kids as if it is an end unto itself. All about application
