Steadily Improving IQ of New Generation

Part-1
25 years ago, I became a grandfather. She grew fast. As a toddler she was cote and lovely as all definitely cleverer and smarter than her mother at the same age. As she grew and more grandchildren appeared on the scene and the novelty wore off and we could observe her more dispassionately, we could confirm that she was, at the age of five smarter than her mother at the similar age.
She was sent to primary school at the age of five. At the end of her academic year, we found her a different child.
All along we believed succeeding generation had better IQ than the preceding generation. It was true until the children reached the age of formal schooling. Soon after that their intelligence hit the doldrums. They needed tuitions, extra coaching which in turn reduced their childhood pleasures of playing hide and seek, cops and robbers, etc, or listen to bed time stories or take part in athletics.

Sadly many traditional schools are teaching to pass a test and no longer teach children to learn, so it is stiffing their natural curiosity to learn. I pulled my kids to home school them when they were little, and didn't give them the option for traditional schooling till high school. They all love to learn.
