Most brains are super right, just not necessarily right for whatever learning environment they find themselves in. At work I think half our coaching time is spent trying to find ways to explain the same thing to different brains XD
we're at a point where my boss has decided that eldest and I warrant our own language
I have a very vague memory from school hearing a teacher tell either the class or part of the class that we were there to learn not socialise so the "socialisation" argument in a school setting where you're age segregated has never had any weight for me which helped a bit when homeschooling even though by that stage the opinions at least in this general area were shifting and most people thought I was "doing the right thing" because [insert whatever it was they weren't happy about with their kids' school] but they could never homeschool because [reasons] (usually related to the fact they had jobs and a lot of them were single parents).
I don't know how much I learned from school, at least of the things you're supposed to learn at school, so I spent a long time contending that as well before I learned that there were different types of learning styles and that my opinions/feelings/experiences weren't universal XD
“education is so important, think of all the poor kids who don’t have it, this will help your future!” But why will it help my future mom?
Not only that, I think most people never mind kids don't really have the experience/context for that to ever be relevant even after it's explained x_x You may well have had the maturity to get it at that age but a lot of people (possibly even most) don't get it at my current age. Maybe your parents didn't get it, just knew of it as A Good ThingTM hence the clumsy non-explanation.
