| So be masochistic about it and set it to train their weaknesses more than their strengths. Right now we've got cookie cutter toss everything at a kid to see what sticks and expect them to be evenly gifted in everything they do which obviously doesnt work.

| But a lot of the things we learn aren't interesting nor enjoyable, nor do they expand your understanding. For instance, we only learn the history of cultures similar to ours; how are we supposed to keep an open mind like that? personally I hated maths and science when I was at school but I don't ad... |
