>>12834323one problem I had with the school system is that people who learn at different rates are forced into a system that operates at a fixed rate (semesters / midterm exams / weekly quizzes / etc).
kinda wish we had a system that was project-based instead of exam based. you have community centers where people can come and go to learn as they please at any time. they get to work on their projects at their own pace with the help of mentors, and cannot move to the next project without completing the previous one.
these projects would be carefully crafted to require and understanding of key ideas in order to complete it. people could work on these projects for as long as they need - days, weeks, months, or even years if they are a really slow learner or just working alot and dont have as much time to learn for whatever reason.
