Teach children how to think, not what to think.
Every child is dealt a hand. Their trajectory depends on the mental models they use to play it. Misconcepts equips your child with the ones school doesn't teach.
What is Misconcepts?
mis·con·cept noun
A mental model of reality, with an acknowledgement of its inherent fallibility.
Your child will inherit thousands of them by age 18. Most are inherited from environment, culture, and the people around them. Shaped by chance rather than built with intention.
The quality of those models will shape how they make decisions, which in turn determines the trajectory of their life. No one is teaching the framework for improving them deliberately.
Misconcepts is that framework.
