Are schools focusing too much on what kids should think instead of teaching them how to think? 🤔 In this clip from The Average Intelligence Podcast, we dive into the critical difference between skills and ideology in education.

From learning to read before being told what to read, to understanding when children can grasp abstract concepts (around ages 12–14), we break down why the foundation of learning should be rooted in skills first, facts second.

We also discuss how kids connect new ideas to things they already understand—like using a family tree to explain genealogy before diving into complex genetic markers. 🧬

If you’ve ever wondered when children truly start thinking abstractly—or whether we might be teaching them the wrong way—you won’t want to miss this conversation.
