This is very probably the most interesting (& in many ways important!) article I’ve read this week...it’s a shame it’s behind a paywall because it should be widely read and further debated. Both in the UK and here in Australia.
I agree that minds are made up by 11-12 years of age, even earlier... and that is why parents must do more, not universities! This might not be a popular thing to say, but it is the truth.
