Howard Gardner’s 9 Intelligences Model
The intelligences every human is born with
These start to manifest from the age of 3 years
K-12 School System is why AI is being seen as a threat!
Long story short, the school education system, in its manifested essence, buries the multi-intelligent
character of all students; exceptions are wholly (good) parenting reward.
Evaluate for yourself as to what is left of the Gardner’s ‘9 intelligences’ in children, at the end of schooling. For evidence, recall,
- The overwhelming majority of students struggle in mathematics, tuition to ‘stay afloat’
- Both critical and creative writing remains greatly subpar, reading skills are rudimentary
- Cultural intelligences - art, dance, music, theatre, games, ‘philosophy’, nature, etc. – get short shrifted
- The expanse of career possibilities shrink by the year, diversity dramatically drops
- Schools are run by rules, bullies; they are not the islands of ideal society we presume
The ‘missing intelligences’ education
Society and the education system is sculpting quite ‘sub-intelligent’ adults. No wonder, AI already reads, writes, and (mathematically) thinks better a big majority of humankind!
Getting mathematics right is just the beginning
Worse, it is a double whammy – while EVERY child (and adult) must master mathematics and science, the uniquely human cultural intelligences need renaissance-kind reforms.
Like always, back to the roots is the way forward
Fortunately, quality of parenting, mostly irrespective of parental socio-economic and educational background, has nearly three-fourths of the influence on educational outcomes. Commitment is all that matters.
The Family College is singularly missioned to academically empower parents like never before, to ensure parents reap best academic outcomes from committed parenting.
'The Family College – A Multi-Intelligent Learning
The AI-age educational imperative is unmistakable – ‘same-outcome’ academic achievement for all children (conversationalise academics), and ‘inverted timetables’ in schools (grant cultural intelligences two-thirds ‘formal education’ space).
The Family College is just that – Secure world-class mathematics and writing (by default reading too) achievement, and then power independent, ‘community learning’ of science and social science. Offer 100% re-invented curricular reading resources.
100% success in
100% Mathematics
Mathematised habits of thinking to prime up for ‘max living’. Humankind’s first ‘mother course in K-12 mathematics.’
Writing (and reading)
Competitiveness over AI
Ingrain highest neural routine and rigour of writing that assertively humanises AI-generated expressions.
Parents as
academic peers
‘Family edition’ curricular books for all subjects that bring back parents (and community) in the lives of children.
End to all tuition, etc.
A win-win for
Informal & Formal
Secure the eternal truth – nurturing ‘thickly cultured adult’ is the prime educational goal, and this is well supported by schools.
