No two children learn the same way. Some children can absorb and remember information better than others.

For example, a person who wishes to be a doctor does not have to go through the same schooling as one who wishes to be a musician, so their educational and personal goals are different. This same principle should be applied in the schools. A student who learns slower, and maybe wants to become a carpenter, does not need the same speed and depth of education a future teacher
