The most important goal of education is to raise people to positively connect and complement each other, finding genuine happiness through positive relations.
Toward such a goal, we should eliminate scores and ranks because they have a destructive effect. They support placing people on levels of pride, normalizing the idea that taking advantage of others for the sake of individual success is okay, and even respectable in many cases.
As we head into a future of tightening interdependence, we need to realize that the most essential expertise we can acquire is positive connection and mutual complementarity.
We likewise need to redefine success in the process. Instead of its current egoistic definition of one person or group outcompeting or outshining others, success should rather depend on how we create positive human relations. People actually want this. It is not that we destroy the ego by eliminating success over others. On the contrary, success in building positive human relations requires ongoing learning about how to use, control and navigate the ego toward much broader, inclusive and whole benefits.
