The “modern” education system. It hasn't changed much since it started back in 1837. The same rules apply. You come into class, pick a seat, and watch an adult teach you the basics. The rest is left to the child. Whether they pay attention or not, it's up to them. The problem here is, even if the child tries to pay attention, many find it difficult to learn this way.

However, younger and older children may benefit from the course depending on their level of vocabulary development since there is some variance in each child's language development compared to what might be considered 'average' for a given grade level.

Children’s future successes depend on developing the abilities to innovate, be resilient in the face of their mistakes, problem-solve creatively, and collaborate with peers effectively. However, standard American educational practices—stressing memorization, grades, and testing—are failing to foster these skills.
