Even if the goals are/should be similar for all children, why are we assuming that the methods of gaining those milestones must be?
Because uniform goals and uniform methods enable very high quality production methods to be developed and allows potential problems to be effectively addressed.
Look at McDonalds, for an example.
When you eat a a McDonalds in NYC you are eating the *exact same* type of McHeartAttack as you eat in LA.
The public *loves* this uniformity, which is reflected in the earnings from the McDonalds corporate entity.
Think of the problems that are encountered if you start using *different* goals and *different* methods for each McDonalds restaurant. How could you *know* what you were really ordering when you traveled to another area? How could you *know* that the money you were spending would be virtually guaranteed to provide a satisfying sensory and gastronomical experience? You simply wouldn't know!
Do you want to live in that kind of world? Make a picture in your mind? What do you see?
It's a profoundly confusing, chaotic, and deeply unsatisfying world, isn't it?
