  • I found the old A-Level maths exam paper that I actually did and just couldn’t remember how to do any of it. In my forties I feel like it would be much harder to re-learn how to factor and integrate quadratics, but not impossible, but mostly I don’t feel like the intense pressure of rote learning and exams when I was 18 actually got anything to stick.

    So I’m pretty skeptical about any broad declarations about whether education is working or not. Almost all we can do is teach children how to think for themselves, self-teach, and critically evaluate information sources, and then hope for the best.
