Teach the World

Well darlin's..... we've tackled the political and economic bull shit- check. It's all done folks, we're just waiting for the moment that it materializes in front of the public with a crash of thunder.  While we wait for the storm of transparency to hit, it's time to focus on other, just as vitally important issues.

This morning my topic on the brain is EDUCATION.

As I've mentioned in the past on RTS, we are a home schooling family.  At least now we are, but it wasn't always that way.  Through our travels and moves, we've seen first hand the disastrous mess that the "Education System" has become.  I've witnessed children being pushed through a cookie cutter that in no way resembles the shape that they are and seen the results of what happens when a square peg is crushed through a round hole.  I've also looked at the curriculums of various school systems and wondered what the hell they are teaching our kids.
 

I think that most parents who are even marginally awake can see that the main stream education system is so FUBARed that it's beyond redemption.  I'm not even talking about their ulterior motive of brainwashing kids into being good little automatons that will listen to Big Brother and go through their lives unquestioning "authority" and believing the party line.  Let's just focus for a moment on WHAT is being LEFT OUT of our childrens education.

...Edison didn't invent anything- he was a patent office clerk that stole every invention that history names him as creating.  WWI & WWII had nothing to do with one country taking over another country- it was all about banking and making money.  "Thanksgiving Day" has nothing to do with the "Indians" sharing their bounty with the colonists- the colonists slaughtered every "Indian" they came across. "Christmas" has nothing to do with Christ (and why is that religious dogma in our schools anyway?), St Patrick didn't kill all the snakes in Ireland, he slaughtered all the pagan religious leaders, Columbus DIDN'T discover America, Newton WASN'T hit on the head by an apple, Franklin NEVER flew a kite in a lightening storm, and 911 had NOTHING to do with "foreign terrorists"..... So why do we allow schools to teach lies to our children?

After generations of 1+1=2 and I before E except after C, we've lost the ability to SEE, HEAR, and FEEL. All the "lessons" that would encourage the use of those attributes- like Music, Art, Drama, and Physical Education- are being completely deleted from our childrens education.  There is no place for IMAGINATION or FREE THOUGHT!!!  ....

... this is not an accident, nor a side effect of cuts in education spending by governments.

Our children are loosing their ability to THINK and DREAM and IMAGINE. ...which of course is the goal of the controllers- children who've lost their ability to be CREATIVE and to actively  PLAY are easy to control.  So the PTW create an atmospheric bubble around our children that takes away their ability to be FREE- surround them with controlled play, controlled education, controlled parenting.... then they do not know what it's like to NOT be CONTROLLED.

Sure, there are private schools out there that encourage all the positive aspects of play and imagination.... but how many of us are fortunate enough to live close to one of those schools, let alone have the ability to pay for that education?

Hence the reason that we homeschool.

It's not easy.  I can fully admit that it would be way easier for me to send my kids off to school each day- I'd be able to get my dishes done before midnight and have clean laundry!!!  And think of how much time I could spend on writing articles and doing interviews!!  But the dishes can wait and to be completely frank, my kids come before all of you out there in RTSland- harsh, but true.

But what if there was an easier way?  What if WE found a NEW way?  What if we recreate the realm of EDUCATION ourselves? What if there was a new platform about to be launched and what if that platform allowed complete freedom of information exchange without spies, data-gatherers, NSA/CIA/DHS/FBI/ABCDEFG harvesting our information and data? What if that internet based platform gave each person the freedom to teach what they know?  Share what they DO?  Show what they can achieve?

... you see where I'm going with this right?

It doesn't have to be Project XIII that Caleb is about to launch (I will be interviewing Caleb later this morning, and hopefully I can get it out on RTS very quickly), but it might make a great quantum jumping pad to launch an organically living and growing system of teaching our children...... and anyone else who wants to learn!

Here's the thing:  Reading, Writing and Arithmetic are all well and good, but you know what?  It doesn't' take 12 years for kids to learn those things.  It's been proven that you can teach a 12 year old every single piece of mathematics that they've had pounded into their heads from grade 1 through to 6, in less than 3 months. So why are we wasting 6-12 years of our childrens most vitally important stages of developmental  filling our kids heads with 1+1=2 and I before E except after C? Think about that for a few minutes.....

You know what I want my children to learn?  I want my children to learn about how to SEE what we've forgotten how to see.  To HEAR what we've forgotten how to hear.  To FEEL what we've forgotten how to feel.  Can they SEE the rainbow in the clouds?  See the light bounding through the sky?  See through the fabric of the myths of "Time" & "Space"?  Can they HEAR the sounds of Nature?  Hear the humm in the air?  Hear the songs that sing through the sky?  Can they FEEL the air move?  Feel the beating of Earth's heart?  Feel the energy of all the BEings around them?  Can they DANCE and SING with the light of the SUN? Can they IMAGINE the future?  Can they CREATE the world they wish to live in?

THAT is what I want my children to learn.  That is what I want to learn too!

DO you?

Well then..... let's begin!

We have, and will have, tools to make this a reality.  Let's GO!

TRUE Education will Change the World

These word are so true, and become truer everyday. Where are the subjects that would really help us move ahead in life?  Where is the TRUTH in education?  Where is the guidance to how to BE you and DO what makes you happy?  It's not there.  Because if it was there, then the education system runs the risk of teaching  people how to THINK, the risk of unfettering the minds of the young and thereby releasing massive groups of awake BEings into the world.

The Education System is nothing more than a shackle and a blind fold, and if you follow it's trail to the end you come out of University with an extra bonus of a 50lb chunk of concrete chained to your ankle called "DEBT", so that "the man" owns your ass already before you earn a single shiny penny.

There is not one single thing you can learn in a school, college, or university that you can't learn from a book or the internet. There is not one thing you can learn in an "educational" building that you can't learn from a real person in real life.

As you know I home school my kids.  We practice basic math skills: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions etc... we read and practice proper spelling.  We take a spin through the world of the internet to see what we want to learn about today: the solar system, the continents, animals, dinosaurs, fossils, geology, reproduction, healing herbs and plants, etc.... I have a 10 year old that reads at a grade "8" level, and a 5 year old with Aspergers who until last month refused to read but now suddenly reads at a grade 2 level- completely self taught.  I have an 8 year old that can talk animal biology with any high school student out there and educate them on a thing or two......

I'm not bragging.  My kids are not super geniuses. The difference is that my kids learn what they want to learn, when they want to learn it.

There are a huge group of us that are working towards TRUE education.  Education of those things that actually have value in life. The UV Ixchange may be the medium that will be used to launch that education non-system. I will be discussing this with Caleb in the very near future.

Do YOU have something to teach?  Do YOU have a skill that you want to share with others?  Do YOU want to DO and change the world? This is the time. NOW.

Plans To Strengthen The Education System Worldwide

The country's future, a large part determined by its future adults, can be shaped by those who, with education degrees in hand, enter the field of teaching. Teachers help young children develop mentally and socially, instilling in them the skills that can help them to become capable adults. When education leaders from throughout the world gather in New York in March, they plan on trying to come up with ways to strengthen the profession of teaching.

Individuals who are born with a great talent for teaching might be among those who set out to obtain education degrees. But talent isn't everything, US Department of Education's Secretary suggested in a news release from the agency. She noted that the entire education system - from recruiting teachers to maintaining and supporting them during their careers - is important as far as establishing teachers who, collectively, have a positive effect on their students.

The training that students receive as part of education degree programs in the United States might depend largely upon the type of teacher they want to become. In the book, The Teaching Gap: Best Ideas from the World's Teachers for Improving Education in the Classroom, authors James W. Stigler and James Hiebert contend that the focus in improving education should be on teaching, rather than teachers, and establishing a system that is able to learn from its own experience. Continued learning for teachers, according to Stigler and Heibert, is also important in terms of teaching.

These authors look towards 8th grade math, and point to Japan when it comes to having the most skillful and purposeful teaching system - one where teachers, through past lessons, memorization and lectures help students build "scaffolds," or establish ways for resolving problems that can at times be challenging. Teachers in high achieving countries follow different methods of instruction, Stigler and Heibert found. Teaching at its Best author Linda Burzotta Nilson recommends in part that teachers understand their students and how they learn.

Nilson's book focuses on college and university instruction and also addresses the millennial generation and distance learning, or online courses and online degree programs. Education degree programs also are available online, and students who participate in these programs might, once they enter teaching careers, find themselves relying more frequently on technology. That's in part because distance education is becoming more prevalent at the K-12 levels as well.

Students in education degree programs might learn about the federal government's "Race to the Top" competition, whereby states can obtain grant money for education reform efforts. In Florida, which was selected as a winner, the State Board of Education and Florida Department of Education this year held a "What's Working in Effective Teaching and Leadership" series.

In one session, the Vice President of Policy for the New Teacher Project, spoke about teachers being the most powerful factor in the academic success or failure of their students. He spoke of the "widget" effect, where teachers are treated in evaluation systems in different states as if one was as good as the other. There are some teachers who push students forward and others who drag them backward, he noted. By the time students obtain education degrees and enter the field, they might be evaluated differently as well.
