It would be nice if society stopped judging. It would make things a lot easier. But that’s not going to happen for a long time, probably never. I’m starting to realize more and more how flawed human beings are. We may never get past our flaws.

So, if we tailor education to fit individual needs, do we lose the good that separate classes for the sexes might do? How would it affect “effeminate” boys or “masculine” girls to be grouped with the opposite sex? How would you or I as children have reacted to such individuals? How would you or I have reacted had it been us who were segregated from our same sex classmates?

Any net progress here? I don’t know.

Everyone learns differently. Not all boys would learn best in the “boys” class, nor would all girls learn best in the “girls” class.
Proper education should take into account various learning styles and ensure that all students have their needs met.

And I have to agree. Everyone learns differently and should have an education tailored to them. But how can we do that effectively?

My take on these questions is that we don’t even need to know the answers to be able to raise a child, as long as we are open to whatever is emerging within the child.

That is a beautiful point.

It amazes me how I have never seen it acknowledged in the mainstream media.

It’s almost as if they pursue controversy for its own sake.

It is truly satisfying to see so many media outlets lose the competition for attention to the broader internet.

With every newspaper that closes its doors, my heart lightens a little more.
