Strongly Supported Conclusions

It makes sense to suppose that the success of a student’s education requires a satisfactory preliminary steps.

A
in the educator’s initial contact with a student, the educator should be as undemanding as possible

We don’t know how an education should act towards students.

B
students who have a secure grasp of the fundamentals of a subject are likely to make progress in that subject

We don’t know whether a student’s grasp of the fundamentals would likely lead to progress in that subject. We only know that the fundamentals are required in order to have a chance at grasping a subject.

C
educators who are not achieving the goals they intended should revise their teaching methods

We don’t know what educators should do. We only know what are the most important factors for a student’s education.

D
teaching new students is rewarding but much more difficult than teaching more advanced students

We don’t know which types of students are more difficult to teach.

E
the success of a student’s overall educational experience depends above all upon that student’s initial educational experience

If the most important factors for the success of painting are preparing and priming the surface, then the most important factors for the success of education is the initial educational experience.
