Any last words: The perfect time is always now.”You have X students with Y types of interests and Z different talents, yet you throw them all into one pot and teach them the same stuff. Later the future football player gets diagnosed with ADHD because he can’t pay attention in history classes and the future designer can’t go to university because he failed religion, chemistry & physics, and his GPA suck. ‘Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.’”-Albert Einstein.S/o to all my bros cross, Mz, Bryan, Clement, kg.
