I suggest you RTFA before facepalming.

It is as much about being literate in the issues as it is about solving them.

By being literate I will only learn from other people's experience. But I can only truly rely on my own experience.

That's so mixed up, I'm not sure where to start.

Should we learn Maths or English from experience? Without the literacy, we don't have the tools and terms to understand our experience. The early years are exactly the time to introduce them, since that is where our experiences have the most profound and long-lasting effect.
