young children self-motivation, goal-formation, critical-thinking, personal-responsibility at the expense of traditional academic knowledge
But do those things really require decades of exclusive instruction to form? Or are they mostly something you pick up on the way, as part of your study habits?
If a child reaches adulthood without learning any reading, writing, or arithmetic then it is a terrible tragedy. As a mature student in my mid 30s studying math in university I would not recommend this life to anyone. I’ve lost the better part of two decades of my best working years for building wealth. I’m going to need to do extremely well after graduation if I ever hope to retire.
