Each student has a jagged learning profile. They have strengths, averages and challenges. If you design learning for the average, you design it for nobody. We have created learning environments where we can not expect learners to do what we want them to do.
The average hurts everyone. Designing average destroys talents in two ways:
> The existing educational environment can not challenge learners as it creates an environment where they become bored and sometimes dropout.
> It means that your weaknesses will make it harder for you to see your talent.
It is all about nurturing individual potential.
