We operate in an antiquated Prussian education model that needs to change.

Making a 10 year old boy sit in a desk in a row for seven hours a day isn’t going to yield results.

This is absolutely true. Also, the curriculum we teach is complete dog water and basically useless to a vast portion of our population. In this day and age, we need to be teaching kids how to deal with their emotions more effectively, how to deal with failure, how to communicate in a proper manner for business and humanity both written and oral. How to manage tasks and time, basic math skills for life.
