Jumping Back

So, I have been quite forgetful in regard to my blogs. For this I apologize. Since I'm so late and have been sick I'm gonna jump back to Aristotle. Something that really jumped out at me was his explanation that it is most excellent to pursue a median of actions and emotions. It is unhealthy to have either a deficiency or an excess of any given emotion or action. He briefly mentioned something that I had to go into deeper thought about. He said that this median is not the same for everyone. My entire life I have felt like my sister and I have been forced into a box by the public school system. I was never allowed to skip ahead and she, because of the "no child left behind" policy, was pushed through without having learned the material. Expecting everyone to have the same median does no one any good. In order to really help children learn, things have to get personal. Aristotle states that certain goals should be made based on each person's abilities. That is how education should be carried out.
