It is more important for a child to recognize what he knows than what he doesn’t know, and he takes many tests to check it.
However, paradoxically, they make him realize his limit in the end.
This can be compared to the roof which is like a pyramid.
Each place has the ceiling of different height each other.
At first, the extent of the knowledge young children learn is wide, but there is no profundity in it yet.
As approaching the ceiling by studying, they can see the contour of the roof.
They judge their capacity with the contour, and they do ponder and decide the way for their future.
As a result, the field they can study more is confined, but the depth of their understanding gets deeper and deeper.
They cannot know their active place and perceive when they should be modest until they reach the highest ceiling, and then they can rely on themselves finally.
