I find myself considering discussions of a new charter school in Texas, which claims to advance students at 2.5x the grade level progress, in 2 hours per day.
This raises a question: what should a second grader who can advance through the academic material at 2.5x do?
And an answer 🔥 of course, "it depends". more specifically, it depends on how much material they are expected to learn is that they should learn enough math and physics to reach General Relativity at 17. 💡 one cannot teach more than there is to teach. and not all students can-or-should master General Relativity. but if they have a technology capable of accelerating the curriculum, and students capable of receiving it ... why not?
I recently found a "real-life" tech tree ⚙️ https://www.hopefulmons.com/p/announcing-the-historical-tech-tree . What I want is an "academic tech tree".
