He has some really good ideas that would benefit the country. No more assembly line schools. From what he has described, kids would move and learn organically at their own pace and would be able to explore topics they're actually interested in. Couple that with vocational education and good jobs and it sounds much better than the current abomination that's making everyone retarded.

When I taught Algebra 2, I would have loved to have kids who could do fractions without a calculator. They were pushed through the grades without attaching mastery of the most basic and necessary skills.
It also sucks for the people who are actually curious about certain topics since school basically makes it impossible to teach for the student. I think instead of going by age it could go by subject and interest. Kids who don't care about school can have an appetence or something.
…and what have many public schools done during the Biden years? They eliminated advanced or honors courses.
A lot of high IQ people end up as losers simply because they never learn how to work for something in normal schools, because those are too easy for them. And some because they are so damn bored in school that they never even bother to try. But flying through school with decent grades, then failing when they get to higher education that finally may be actually getting a bit hard for them - at least the STEM - when they had gotten used to the idea that they would not have to work because all that stuff was self-evident to them is the most common reason for failure for that part of the population. IF the parents know that the kid is intelligent and do the pushing the school doesn't then the child may learn the habits that will allow them to excel also later in life (and the parents don't push too much and burn their child out that way), but if it's left only to the schools most of them will never reach their full potential, or even part of that.
Waste of resources going on there. A lot.
I failed algebra and do load calcs in my head using ohms law as an electrician now. My transcripts are nothing but A's and F's. I'd cut class to go get stoned with my friends and they'd all wonder why I'd ditch them to go back and catch history or science. Teachers make all the difference. I flunked English in high-school and then was told by my professor in college I should consider writing after acing 101 and 102. It didn't occur to me until later that my high-school English teacher was a feminist Democrat who loathed my toxic masculinity and free spirit. I probably reminded her of an ex who dumped her for getting so fat.
That's criminal!Too many times, I see people at stores, that cannot make change! They are clueless without the cash register telling them how much to give the customer.
I see people that can’t tell time on an analogue clock.⏰
I don't correct them when it's in my favor.
Yea, like your 3 minutes late instead of 15. He He
I agree with Thomas Massie and President Trump. It's time to terminate the Department of Education.

Nobody should be in charge of a child's education except their own parents... oh wait they are. This why every idiot I meet I immediately hope they're not breeding.
Most parents are too busy working to pay attention to their kids at all, let alone home school them. Shoutout to the parents who do it but that will never be the norm in this economy.
Most kids are an accident. Everyone I talk to says their kids are the best thing to ever happen to them and immediately tell me to stay single and wear a condom. If you don't have the resources for private education or a parent to homeschool your kids why are you fucking without protection? Every mass shooter has daddy issues and fatherless daughters end up stripping on a pole. If you can plan a 401k you can plan a family.
14% of the American population is responsible for more than 50% of violent crime because they grew up without a dad. Guess the ethnicity... if you don't take the time to be a father don't be surprised when when the kids ruin society.
It can be again if the economy is great
Musk supports Montessori which is insane.
