In fields such as sports and music, there is a great deal of effort made to locate and train those youths who have high levels of natural talent. Kids with curiosity and creativity need programs where these virtues are sought after. We need to recognize these creative, resourceful, hardheaded youth for the extraordinary values that they possess, and develop a different learning environment that teaches to their strengths instead of struggling with their weaknesses.
The first country in the world that understands just how special these kids are and gives them the opportunity and means to expand their special talents, will find themselves at the center of a blitz of creative ideas for solving the world’s problems and for building better mousetraps.
