Chapters

Today, our education system isn't student centric at all. It's a monolithic one built to standardize the way we teach and test. It's literally modeled after a factory. Today, we batch students up, send them into classrooms, and we teach to the class, not the individual. We actually have students that progress right now through units, subjects, grades based on time, not based on their actual mastery of learning.
