The Case for the “Self-Driven Child”
Look at reward signals.  Elementary through high school is a little sliver of what a collapsed marxist society looks like - no positive rewards signals just negative arbitrary ones.  I was programming at 8 but apparently to be &quot;well rounded&quot; I had to do all this other stuff that non-coders deemed important.  Meanwhile there was no &quot;safe base&quot; for me or anyone else who grew up poor.<p>But at least now I can also now see scams a mile away.<p>For instance, every company doesn&#x27;t know the exact amount of money they will make this year,  but every employee has a good idea.  It&#x27;s the same system only a little better implementation.<p>Forcing all the kids into assembly lines and scalping their autonomy is breaking people.  It&#x27;s taking away their ability to think.  Which is nice for politics and propaganda, but it&#x27;s bad if we want a free market with innovation.
