READY OR NOT DOES IT REALLY MATTER ?

Age can sometimes get confused for capabilities. Some people believe that pushing people to perform will help in their growth. Ignoring the individuals capabilities just because the average age group shows that he or she should be ready to advance will only lead to disappointment. Catergorising people by mainly focusing on their similarities will only force an incomplete evaluation that will not show a true indication of what level the individual is ready for. A true assessment of readiness can only be determined if you take in consideration all the stages that they have completed. The mentality ready or not doesn't allow for those who develop at different times and teaches people that we can't wait for you so pick up your pace. Unless we break free from the thrall of a closed mind and judge each case separately we will be left wondering what went wrong.
