Ultramarina, good point. That's why they make that term "zone of proximal development", what an individual is ready to learn right now! There's a pretty good argument for frequent continual re-evaluation, but who's got the time or desire? (besides kids parents)
Thank you Giftodd, it was nice to read, like a cup of tea for the mind. The illustrative pictures were lovely as well. I liked many parts but lol'd at the part that said since we're living 30 years longer these days we get a second middle age lifespan. Woo-hoo!
