			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just found a really fascinating documentary about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Michael_Langan" target="_blank">Chris Michael Langan</a>. He has an IQ between 190 and 210, had a very bad childhood, works in a bar and has many interesting views on the world we live in. Particularly the part where he talk about his experience with the school system is interesting. As he says in the documentary:</p>
<blockquote><p>I found the whole experience of school to be highly annoying. I think I could wrapped the whole thing up in a couples of years. Instead they managed to keep me around for twelve. [...] My teachers just didn&#8217;t particularly care for me.</p></blockquote>
<p>I totally agree with him. We have to realize that smart people need special attention. They should be inspired to learn more about fields they find interesting, and maybe one day make a breakthrough in their field or fields. We need more people like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Newton" target="_blank">Newton</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstien" target="_blank">Einstein</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonhard_Euler" target="_blank">Euler</a> and so on.</p>
<p>The school system in Norway takes care of the people who are less fortunate than the average person, but they don&#8217;t seem to care about people who are more fortunate, i.e. people with high IQ. The politicians should really sit down and do some drastic changes to the school system. We need to get back to the basics of learning and get rid of all the pedagogical bullshit that&#8217;s being suggested.</p>
