I think what I have been criticising about school and education is not ill founded after all. My mission as a volunteer at a primary school is to find out the root cause of our literacy and numeracy problems.
Many of the topics the primary students learn and discuss are far beyond their age. While it is good for them to know about life skills, they lack the life experience and therefore it is unlikely they have the opportunity to practise and apply such skills.
