Competitiveness is overrated; strive instead to be different. "Our educational system both drives and reflects our obsession with competition. Grades themselves allow precise measurement of each student’s competitiveness; pupils with the highest marks receive status and credentials. We teach every young person the same subjects in mostly the same ways, irrespective of individual talents and
preferences. Students who don’t learn best by sitting still at a desk are made to feel somehow inferior, while children who excel on conventional measures like tests and assignments end updefining their identities in terms of this weirdly contrived academic parallel reality. And it gets worse as students ascend to higher levels of the tournament. Elite students climb
confidently until they reach a level of competition sufficiently intense to beat their dreams out of them. Higher education is the place where people who had big plans in high school get stuck in fierce
rivalries with equally smart peers over conventional careers like management consulting and investment banking. For the privilege of being turned into conformists, students (or their families) pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in skyrocketing tuition that continues to outpace inflation. Why arewe doing this to ourselves?" Peter Thiel (founder at Paypal and profesor at MIT and Stanford)

Life Changing Education Academy in Guatemala is a new and innovative alternative high school. All schools know what they do, and many know well how they do it, but few fully understand why. We work passionately because we know why we exist. We were founded to fulfill our sole purpose: to teach future generations how to improve their world and by doing so, change our world one student at a time.

Teach statistics before calculus! Someone always asks the math teacher, "Am I going to use calculus in real life?" And for most of us, says Arthur Benjamin, the answer is no. He offers a bold proposal on how to make math education relevant in the digital age.
