[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've seen these phrases or similar a handful of times on here - what does it mean? By what mechanism is this the case?

If the search function weren't so hopelessly broken I'd pull out some examples but alas[/quote]

LOL no they are Kipling kids ignorant and lacking in math and science skills [/quote]

At what cost?  Does your second grader really need to be doing so many worksheets?  What do you think actually matters in the long run?

I'd rather have a happy, well behaved kid who is physically active and can carry on a conversation and interact with adults and other kids like a normal person.  It is pretty trivial to learn math and science in middle / high school.  If you think your elementary school kid is academically advanced, you would be wrong 99% of the time.[/quote]

Yeah, I already don't use geometry in my daily life but with all the AI advances it feels like letting kids love learning is the big win. Who knows what facts or processes, if any, will be useful to them in another 20 years.[/quote]
