📚 If you’re a student choosing what to focus on, pick MATH. It will teach you to relentlessly rely on your own brain, think logically, break down problems, and solve them step by step in the right order. That’s the core skill you’ll need to build companies and manage projects.




When my son was in 1st grade, he started telling us about the big test that was coming up. He said it was really important that he do really well on this test b/c "some other kids can't do as well". Turns out the teachers were pressuring the smart kids about standardized tests b/c it takes a lot of effort to raise the scores of the lower half of the class and that effort is better spent getting the top 20% of kids to improve the overall class score They weren't even shy about telling the smart kids that their goal on this test was not to do well for their own benefit but to benefit the class as a whole. They were doing this to first graders. That was the last year he was in public school.
