in a way that's gratifying to them.
You know, you can imagine if you have this adult intellect and you're sitting in a third grade classroom day after day, or even in a kindergarten classroom and you say you want to play, you know, somebody says, Oh, let's play dinosaurs and you're all excited and you go start expounding your dictionary of dinosaurs and they all look at you like you're weird and run away, you know.
I mean, that's what most of our kids have been through until they get to a place where they're with true peers.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
So I I wrote a whole series in two E News about how to build a school that works for two E children.
But
It's harder to get teachers to
Step outside the box because they have so much pressure.
To adhere to the system and to find
you know, be in that compliance model.
But really most good teachers when they close the door they do what their kids need rather than what the system is telling them to do, you know, that more bureaucratic approach.
So I will say if you're that kind of teacher that can close the door and give our kids what they need.
The number one thing is they should never have to do rote practice on something they've already mastered.
So
The uh teacher if you've got a child who is already way past your math level.
They should just be able to test out and then go do something they're interested in during that time.
And I know teachers balk a lot at this, but I'm like, why?
You your job is to teach, let's say you've got a fifth grader, your job is to teach them fifth grade math.
If they can take the end of the year math assessment and demonstrate to you that they already know fifth grade math, why would you make them go through it again?
