National Standards in education should be tailored to each students capacity for learning and growing.

The world has taught us that we achieve and excell at our own pace.

If there is a system where students are tailored to their capacity for learning and growing and not to their age then this should be fine for society.

Design a schooling where it disregards age. It focuses on the potential skills of students and helps navigate them towards their profession. Whether it be a student progresses and finds their fulfilling career by the time theyre 16, or someone who manages to find a steady way of living by the time theyre 26.

Education is valuable to us of all ages. All we need is recourses and time

Yes, but we also need to increase the educational requirements for teachers to ensure they have the ability to maintain the standards.

Yes, I think there should be a national standard, but students who excel or fall behind need to be accommodated for

 @8G3VSM6answered…6yrs6Y

No: focus on the development of each student and stop schools from being focused entirely on getting results
