4) Is there a potential problem being stored up for people if 'education' is tailored to fit into their cultural and personal preferences?

If tailored educational programs were widely available, I believe it would change the way our society work and learn completely. It is because I was forced to learn the same way as everyone else that I excelled at certain subjects and struggled on others. I'm a visual learner, so I found maths hard to learn without using something physical in order to understand it. My maths teacher struggled to understand my problem and therefore thought I was lazy. This was the main reason I never bothered pursuing the subject and barely scraped a pass. If I hadn't have achieved a C grade I would have never gone to 6th form and thus never attended University either (even though I never endeavoured in studying maths).
This is just one example, but personal preferences in learning would allow many people to become more knowledgeable and also more interested in a lot of subjects. However, the potential problems with this idea should also be highlighted. Attention to individuals can breed a spoilt attitude and allow the child to believe their way is the right way. This may not be harmful in education but it could certainly affect their later personality and friend making could become problematic. Personal learning could also affect life in the work place, as many might expect the same treatment with their managers as they did with their teachers.
This is all mere theorising, as for there to be a system of tailored education we would need a teacher to every student and the funds for different apparatus depending on the situation.
My conclusion is that although this idea would provide many with an education they may never have had, the notion is expensive and impractical, with some potentially damaging effects.
