We play tennis during strawberry season. Rowing is for tall people who like water. Netball is for girls.
We choose tasks on the basis of our assumptions, biases, and instincts, not on the actual demands of the task.

It’s time to upskill our kids based on the demands of the task, not our faulty thinking.
Pass it on.
