Better education system

Before I get into it disclosure: I’m about to ramble a little bit on an idea I have and I’d like to hear your opinion on it because I know it’s not perfect. I’d also like to see if anybody else has thought about this subject before and come up with their own solution.

I’m American so I can’t speak on other countries education system but I feel like this is better than our current system but it would take a lot of time and mom to ever implement and I have neither. So without further ado…

Grade one through five are perfectly fine. They do a good job teaching the basics of math history science and so on.

I believe that a better system for grades six through 12 would be possibly grades eight through 12. If you start to pick your specialization then start picking classes standardized, of course but geared towards things that you’re interested in that way you stay more engaged.

Realistically in life, you’re not gonna need to know every single thing so it’s weird that we try to teach every single subject at the same level to every person why not Taylor it more towards the interest of a certain person .

In my vision, it helps students learn and develop skills towards their intended career. Path earlier helps them retain that information because they learn it earlier and their brain is not full of garbage. They’ll never need because I’m also of the belief the brain has a limited capacity I don’t think you can learn forever . I think that once you have so much information other stuff stops sitting in your brain is easily.

Basically it would be like starting to college track early. It’s like when you have electives in high school based on your interest you get to pick do that earlier and start broader so in sixth grade right you no longer have your standard five classes in fact at the end of fifth grade or possibly at the end of you know maybe wait till they’re older just a little bit end of eighth grade you could have in fact actually yeah we’ll do eighth grade because that’s when you start to learn basic algebra, so we’ll see eighth grade 8th grade you’ve done basic algebra done American history you’ve done a little bit of world history so starting eighth grade you take an aptitude test and then in high school grades nine through 12 we could possibly even make it longer. I mean, realistically you could be in school until you’re 20 unless you wanted to go down one of those working career path then you could get out sooner and it would kind of skip the middleman of college cause you could get your further education for those who wanted it in grades 13 and 14 And for those who want to go the manual labor career path, they would pick those trade type classes in high school and go down that path instead

You could have a branch for people who enjoy history and they could go into history their first year branch out into different sections of history, possibly archaeology, possibly specializing in certain periods of history you could have teaching sections too, which could be paired with those history, classes or those science classes And basically start broader and go narrower. The problem is then you will need a lot more teachers, but if you made knowledge, a bigger part of society, not only would you have smarter people in society as a whole you’d also be pushing more people into like teaching and you could also promote teaching by having it be an actually noble call with a decent pay

I also think we should add in philosophy into middle school age teaching curriculum because it can help understand how the world works and how you should think and understand how you do think without being told how you should think philosophy is a good thing philosophy gets your mind inquiring
