A NO BRAINER

"FROM EACH ACCORDING TO HIS ABILITY; TO EACH ACCORDING TO HIS NEEDS," MAY BE THE FORMULA FOR COMMUNISM ACCORDING TO KARL MARX, BUT IT IS A NOBRAINER EXPLANATION FOR ACADEMIC AND ATHLETIC ACHIEVEMENT AND RENDERS SCIENTIFIC STUDIES UNNECESSARY. APTITUDE TESTS HAVE PROVED THAT THE WAY 4 MONTH OLD CHILDREN PROCESS INFORMATION VIRTUALLY DOES NOT CHANGE THROUGHOUT LIFE. INCLINATIONS AND I.Q. ARE GENETICALLY AND SEXUALLY BASED, DISPLAYING THE CONTRARINESS OF MATH VS. LANGUAGE SKILLS, LEFT VS. RIGHT-SIDED BRAIN ACTIVITY. EVEN LARRY SUMMERS KNEW THAT, BUT HE WAS FORCED OUT OF HIS POSITION AS PRESIDENT OF HARVARD FOR PUTTING THE OBVIOUS INTO WORDS - MEN AND WOMEN THINK AND ACT DIFFERENTLY. FOR EXAMPLE, THE 'MASCULINE' POLE OF THE BRAIN IS ATTRACTED TO LOGIC, ABSTRACTION, MATH, SCIENCE, ACCOUNTING AND MUSIC. THE 'FEMININE' LOBE OF THE MIND GRAVITATES TO LANGUAGE, ENGLISH, HISTORY, ART, PSYCHOLOGY AND PHILANTHROPY.

HOW SHOULD SCHOOLS TRY TO UNLOCK EVERY CHILD'S INTELLECTUAL POTENTIAL? YES, HOW? EDUCATION IS PER SE SELF-EDUCATION, UNFORCED BUT REINFORCED BY HARD WORK. IT IS ALSO SELF-SATISFACTION, A CATERING TO PROPENSITIES WHICH RENDER LEARNING EASIER AND A CERTAIN DISCIPLINE MORE APPEALING. EACH CHILD DRAWS FROM HIS INNATE ABILITIES TO CATER TO HIS OR HER NEEDS. UNLIKE COMMUNISM, HEREDITY ALLOWS FOR NO LEVEL PLAYING FIELD. FOR THIS FACT, FATE BE PRAISED! THE FUNCTION OF SCHOOLS, I BELIEVE, IS TO THROW AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE AT THE FAN (THE STUDENT) SO THAT INDIVIDUAL INCLINATIONS CAN DECIDE WHAT TO ACCEPT OR REBUFF OF THE BLOWBACK.
