Sometimes ppl who struggle in school early on get the gift of realizing that they have to find (& forge) other ways of being valuable whereas some other times ppl who master test-taking in their childhood have to figure that out (& unlearn certain schooling habits) in their 20s

Life gets really hard for straight A students when they face real world challenge because the model they have used in the past doesn't work anymore.
Optimizing for a set of instructions to get a pre-def output doesn't work, real world situations demand calibration and tuning.

Unfortunately, I am one of those. Had a really hard time when my model stopped working.
Fortunately, I am also adaptable and quick learner but man, those days were rough.

I was excellent at school, figured out how to prepare for and ace every test. Bailed on academia to learn how the real world worked (2001). Started a business. 20 yrs later I am finally starting to put it together in the wild.

Definitely. So why does our education system prepare and reward kids for something absolutely nothing like life??
