School’s Not for Everyone, But …..

I’ll be the first to admit that K – 12 (elementary and high school) is not right for everyone, and that certainly includes people with IQs in the 190 – 215 range. Those who have been given great intellectual power are going to find, like Einstein apparently did, that school is mind-numbingly tedious and regimented.

From here, some people extrapolate that all school does is destroy creativity and crank out conformists who don’t have the horsepower (or the interest) to question authority and think for themselves.

Most people, however, look back on their school days with an understanding that this is where they learned to read and write, and to wrap their wits around math and science, as well as the humanities.

In other words, school is the institution that, without which, America would be completely dominated by people like the guy here.
