>Isn't that what the curriculum already accommodates then? Didn't you just say that?
No. The current curriculum penalizes people that are academically incline. Fast track programs are difficult to access for example.
>For one size fits all mass education, catering to the largest mass is the best you can do.
Yes. But we now have other options.
> Most people aren't academically inclined
>>Is that so?
As OP pointed out most people need someone to guide them and give them directions. This is because a lot of kids are not interested in learning and do "bugger all" without supervision.
The kind of self-directed learning only benefits people that are already academically motivated.
>Isn't that by definition? Most xes are x.
Yes. This was in contrast to what OP was saying, which is "The pandemic showed us exactly what children would prefer to do, when they don't have a physical teacher standing over them, which is bugger all."
This isn't true for students that are academically inclined. Only true for those that aren't academically inclined.
