[quote=Anonymous]It doesn’t start in HS. I see a lot of elementary grade kids, and unfortunately many of them lack not only background knowledge but most importantly intellectual curiosity. Many also don’t seem to be too bright, but nothing is as important as that curiosity. As you can imagine they don’t use SM yet. Maybe it’s the families that are also not curious - but their classmates from similar families are strikingly different in that regard (and how “smart” they are. I am leaning towards 90% nature and maybe 10% nurture tbh And then these kids are so deep in a rut by as early as 3rd grade that they just can’t get out without intensive personalized tutoring and mentoring. Add to this undiagnosed LDs and there you have it. The sweet spot for catching these kids is around 1st grade. I think an experienced teacher can see it but teachers are generally too tapped out and maybe even a bit jaded that they won’t/can’t do anything. [/quote]
