Re: Why the concept of a "good student" is just silly and wrong
Principal problem of education is two-part. First, schools do not teach you how to think but what to think. Second, schools do not teach you how to study but what to study. The result of the system is the stratification of students. You are given the material and told what it is, then you are tested on the "how" of the material, all the way through the baccalaureate degree. Only in the graduate levels do they teach the cream of the crop how to do it--graduate students merely sharpen their natural skills.
In essence, there is very little teaching, which is why many feel that they are not learning much in schools that they would not learn outside of schools.
Schools are basically a competition in which your GPA, calss rank, etc., represent you natural capacity compared to the sample. There is no effective teaching.
