@mpershan I have been in third world countries where only 1/3 of the villagers go to school, and most of those go through 6th grade, then go work in hotels. It’s a stark difference to our reality. I think it is less about learning and more about access.
This Edutopia article reminded me of a lesson we published in our 2nd issue of MPJ (1997). Both are linked here.
