Even basic fine motor skills are no longer been taught in schools, since worldwide curriculums excluded craft teaching.<\/p>\n<p>Most kids are not succeeding at school. Sadly, our educational system doesn\u2019t usually reward students for their creativity or consider their personal curve of learning. Instead, our schools still uses math grades to differentiate &#8220;smart&#8221; kids from the others.
