Most people tend to brag about how 'smart' their child is, regardless of their actual intellectual capacity... but have you ever wondered exactly just how smart one child can get? The answer may astonish you!:sarcastic
Let's start off in the past; merely a couple centuries ago, you were considered highly educated if you knew basic arithmetic and how to read and write. Now 6th graders are coming up with outstanding science fair projects that literally pushes the limits of today's knowledge of science.
So the question remains; if 8th graders can go from (6x6=36) to (a4b7c18f4x67y13z8/a2b3c12f2x58y9z3=a2b4c6f2x9y4z5) in less than a century, then what is the full potential that they can strive for?
Well for a simple thought experiment, lets take a look at the fundamentals of mathematics. How long do you think it takes for a child to understand the concept of a single function of math? a day or two... maybe a week? The bottom line is that it shouldn't take to long to teach the concept of adding, subtracting or whatever you wish to do with the numbers. For the sake of any argument, lets give them an entire YEAR to learn a single function...:areyoucra We'll start in Kindergarten and spend the whole year to teach them basic numeric values. In 1st grade, well take the entire year to teach them how to add numbers together. In 2nd grade, we'll teach them how to subtract numbers. 3rd grade is reserved for multiplication and 4th grade is division. In 5th grade, they'll learn fractions and 6th grade will be algebra. 7th grade will be for geometry, 8th grade will be the study of trigonometry and 9th grade they will learn calculus. This means that in even taking an entire YEAR to teach them a single function of math, they will still be at college level mathematics by the time they are in high school! Were YOU an expert in calculus by 10th grade?:help:
In a realistic sense, most children will be able to grasp these concepts within a week or two... that means that hypothetically within 18 weeks (less than half a year) your child should go from totally mathematically illiterate to a mathematic genius!
This process can be applied to ALL educational studies, whether it be history, science, social studies, anything!
With this being said, can you imagine how advanced our children will be academically within a couple decades, let alone another century?)(
