Nothing kills someone’s spirit like calling them stupid. And yet our education system (American) excels at this kind of soul assassination. They’ll even give you a percentile ranking.

Here’s the worst part: it’s not by accident, or incompetence.

It’s by design.

We have mountains of research that offer better models of teaching, learning, and testing. The status quo exists for a reason, to benefit rich ass holes. The ones who need a soy latte handed to them by someone who believes they barely deserve minimum wage, sprinkled with tips.

True reform will take decades, if it ever happens.

Meanwhile, I’ve got an important message for you: You’re not stupid — no matter what your teachers, friends, bosses, or family have said. You have a hidden intelligence. We all do.

Finding a hidden intelligence

Most of us managed to survive public school. Now you’re in college, or your early 20s. Or you’re mid life, and mid career. The old judgements still haunt you. The bad grades, the test scores.
