Do you also think this LinkedIn posting is “heartwarming” as some of the comments say? To what extent is it socially acceptable to position your children like that? Could people misinterpret this as a backdoor brag?

The entire post is nonsense. By extension, society should just eliminate the education system because it’s stacked against folks who learn and progress alternatively from the majority.

Your conclusion is reductionist and stupidly illogical. No body is saying anything near that.

The point is we need to change what education and hiring are looking to produce. Now they are producing lazy thinkers who regurgitate the right test answers, and hiring people who can write a resume which matches the job description.
Neither focus on creativity, collaboration, nor citizenship.

While cringey, there is a lot of truth in the post. Most schools only want good test scores, not creativity. Creativity can open a lot more doors than just knowing how to regurgitate information, and this isn't the first story noting that kids that didn't do as well in school created successful companies.

TLDR. Nothing that long on LinkedIn is worth reading 🥱

The point of the story is how traditional assessments are not necessarily useful with respect to real life nor hiring.

Frankly we don't know if the bits about the children are true, or just made up. Y'all need to pull the sticks out; which I think is the same point of the LI post.

Just got a lateral hire offer for a Sr Associate role with BCG. Contract states that I can go for Consultant promo in 12 months.
