Braille invented a writing system at 15.

We homeschool, and I get asked often my mental model for how we approach it
Id encourage people to study the Ancient Greeks
Modern schooling asks:
“What should a 5-year-old know?”
The ancients might have asked:
“What kind of person should this child become?”
That is a

4. Learning to the test.
School rewards late-night cramming and test-it-and-forget-it learning strategies.
The only thing that matters is the test score.
In the real world, kids need to learn to the task. What really matters is what they can *do* with the knowledge they gain.

5. Doing the bare minimum to get by.
It's easy to get by in school doing "just good enough."
But the real world rewards excellence, not mediocrity.
Kids need to learn to take pride in their work, and to go above and beyond in their work because they care about the outcome.

3. Deferring to authority.
School teaches kids that the adult is always right.
In reality, kids need to learn to trust their own judgment and opinions if they want to do well in life.
When kids leave school, they have to learn to trust their own inner compass again.

2. Waiting for permission.
Traditional school requires kids to ask for permission to do anything, from reading a book to going to the bathroom.
The real world rewards those who don't wait for permission. Like the startup adage: "don't ask for permission, ask for forgiveness."

1. Being passive.
Traditional school feeds you everything you need. Stand in line, follow the rules, and you'll do well.
But if you want outsized results in the real world, you need to go take what you want.
Kids need to learn how to take that ownership of their experience.

When kids leave traditional school, they have to go through a deschooling process.
Deschooling = unlearning all the bad habits you picked up in school.
Some of the biggest habits kids need to unlearn:
