[quote=Anonymous]In today’s education system, the top 10% need to understand what to do that isn’t taught. Both the current curriculum and declining quality of teaching makes simply working hard no longer the path to success.

Kids need to learn how to learn independently and what to do when a teacher is bad..which is frequent.

1. Math fluency - developing speed and accuracy for basic math computation in elementary school is extremely helpful. Outside math instruction or practice is also important in middle and high school. Tackling more complex and difficult problem sets than the school provides assures mastery and promotes actual deeper understanding.

2. Read full books. Kids that read full books ranging from literature to non fiction and think about what they read have a huge advantage. Schools no longer require much full reading outside a few books in English.

3. Executive functioning and independence ,students need to be more organized and overcome disorganized teachers. If you get stuck with a bad teacher, the top 10% kid will simply learn the material on khan academy or other sources.
