Is the current state and progression of humanity leading towards a higher social order, or is it leading towards a relative social destruction?


I'm attempting to filter out the dumb asses by stating my question in a way they won't understand it.

oh, i'm sorry for misunderstanding you :/

as for regular kids, all they need for a chance to shine is self-motivation. in elementary school, getting told your name's going to be put on a wall is enough to get them motivated, but eventually they all see that it doesn't mean a lot, if anything (and then there are some kids in elementary school who just don't care in the first place). we need to continuously push kids NOW and get them to become success stories to inspire the others to become success stories of their own, or whatever it is that they feel they should excel in.

sometime around high school, i feel like kids should be treated more like college students... because very few people honestly care enough to mother them (which imo, is destructive as it makes people dependent) and be a source of strength without a student going up to a teacher to genuinely express interest in improvement.

no, no one should get neglected - of course. but i see extensive amounts of attention to kids who don't have the genetic potential or self-motivation to be a waste. throw them success stories and whatever it is that people use to inspire, and the ones who are worth paying attention to will flock to you.

i think that the gifted kids will just get more attention naturally because more of them will question and organize to reach what they feel that they're missing. teachers are just naturally inclined to pass on their knowledge to the gifted and curious - isn't that how applying to college works?

i'm putting hardworking under the category of gifted for now.
