In all the countries I know about, there is this thing called curriculum, where a bunch of people have sat down and decided what a child needs to know by the time s/he is 18. I would love to have a conversation with this group of people to find out what their criteria are. On what do they base their decisions? How do they decide what subjects to include and what each syllabus will look like? What do they think they are education kids for?

If we can first have that argument, and resolve what the right answer to that question should be, then perhaps we can start again from scratch deciding what to teach kids at school!
