While David Brevik did move to GGG, he is not a dev there. He is an “advisor” and was originally hired to oversee their product exportation to China. Now GGG founded their company making games on the D2 engine, and were big fans of it, but I am pretty sure Brevik is the only D2 team member that went over, and he isn’t a dev there, at least not fully.
No, while the best schools in the country have done a lot to incorporate non-traditional educational tools, like Khan Academy, have changed the class time structure, have moved to more “hands on” methods of communicating ideas, and have been moving away from a dependence on rote cram/purge cycles, they will not be scrapping down time, and forcing kids to do things they think are boring. Instead they have more per capita resources to tutor kids on how to deal with their frustrations, scheduling, boredom, and doing things they don’t like, because they have to. They actually have people that will work 1 on 1 with kids to do this, or their parents will hire private tutors to work with them on that, and subjects they struggle with. However, they know that cutting it out isn’t the solution, it is to specifically teach the kids how to deal with it.
This will end well
