  How School Makes Kids Stupid -...

  Education is supposed to be the foundation of knowledge, personal growth, and future success. However, the modern school system has become a rigid, outdated structure that often fails to serve its true purpose. Instead of fostering curiosity, creativity, and independent thinking, it enforces memorization, conformity, and a narrow definition of intelligence. The system was designed for an industrial era that no longer exists, yet it continues to shape young minds in ways that leave them unprepared for the real world.   
  The purpose of education has shifted drastically over time. Originally, learning was a means of survival and personal development, allowing individuals to acquire skills and knowledge relevant to their environment. With the rise of industrialization, schools were structured to produce disciplined, obedient workers rather than innovative thinkers. Today, that outdated model remains largely intact. Instead of adapting to the needs of a rapidly changing world, schools continue to prioritize standardization over flexibility, forcing students into a one-size-fits-all system that often stifles their potential.  
  At the core of this broken system is an overemphasis on memorization rather than true understanding. Students are expected to absorb and regurgitate information for tests, only to forget most of it shortly after. Critical thinking and problem-solving take a backseat to rote learning, leaving students ill-equipped to navigate complex real-world challenges. The grading system further reinforces this problem, reducing learning to a numbers game where students are judged by their ability to recall facts rather than their capacity for deep thinking.

  Chasing what feels easy is a human instinct—but it's only when young people embrace challenges that they become stronger versions of themselves and lead more joyful, meaningful lives. 
  In our happiness-obsessed society, we can become isolated in comfort zones and overly focused on temporary pleasures. Kids naturally do the same. In our effort to protect and help them, we often shield them from discomfort. But are we unwittingly denying them experiences that will form them into strong, capable adults? Could it be that we're training them to believe that challenges ought to be avoided, and that if they're struggling, they're not well? 
  In The Happiness Crisis, global educational leader Jon Eckert speaks from decades of experience, explaining how he has seen parents, teachers, and coaches nurture transformation in kids ages 9 to 22. With practical wisdom, humor, and real-world evidence, he'll show you how toinvite young people into challenges, risks, and adventures;prioritize real-life connections that show others they matter;resist living in echo chambers and chasing fleeting success; andwelcome kids into lives that move beyond circumstantial happiness to lasting joy. 
    
  Decades from now, the most resilient adults will be the most joyful. They'll know that joy isn't freedom from struggle; it's the fuel that allows them to struggle well. 
  Young people can begin living that way now—if we invite them to.
