Teachers and Parents, listen up!
Wise up. And pay head. This is mostly for you.
In no particular order....
* Stop teaching your children competition. Education is about learning, not competing.
* Teach sharing, caring and cooperation, make it a group class grade. Allow the students a chance to make themselves better collectively. There will always be those looking for the free ride. That's their right, attendance and contribution is completely voluntary. Its not about passing and failing, its about gaining knowledge and growing. If the class is interesting, people will attend, learn, share, and contribute. Volunteering is always better than force or coercion.
* Teachers need to learn to communicate and share freely. If there is a school ranked #1, then #2 should be looking and updating to what #1 is doing, period. All children should be capable of receiving top tier education. How could we offer our children anything less?
* Stop teaching history. Make it an elective. Children are being trapped in the past, caught in a loop constantly repeating the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Allow them an opportunity to think of a future. Allow them to have a clear vision of the present. Give them the tools they need to learn and advance.
* Don't teach religions in schools. There are over 40,000 religions some 10,000 years old. It's become a fashion accessory. Allow a child to find a sense from within on their own. Stop passing aged rituals, and disagreeing about them causing conflicts, it should be removed from all education and politics. If a creator exist, he will find us individually - we don't need books and guides to teach us about it. We will each have our own individual beliefs on the matter and should be allowed to explore it in our own way without interference.
* Teach children to be able to think and to teach.
* Teachers should also be students, since they too will always be learning and having to keep up with the smartest children and new means and ways.
* Teachers should be the inventors.
* Teachers should be the engineers.
* Teachers should be the space explorers.
* Teachers and students should be the ones educating, designing, producing, distributing, consuming, and entertaining. Are they not the professionals, the best in their fields? Why would we settle for things created by anyone else? Schools should be the companies and corporations of today, without all the labels and unified as a Cooperation instead.
* We are all teachers.
* Teachers should never be paid and students should never be charged. Knowledge, understanding and practice should be free.
* Teachers and students should be made aware that Stockholm syndrome is a very strong psychological response.
*Teachers should be looked out for by the parents, it’s a mutual and shared exchange. Education is the most important thing, its the basic care of all our children and future adults, its what evolves us all to experience a more productive and rewarding life.
* Teach them that they are first and foremost Human. The entire Planet Earth is their home. It’s a beautiful and ancient planet, filled with unique and beautiful miracles just like themselves, covering almost every surface of our planet, descendents and proof of time. Teach them that each and every one of them is lucky to be gifted with life, and each of them possesses a vessel capable of doing anything it can imagine. They are free. There is nothing they can't experience. Teach them that they are not alone, their friends, family, and species are amazing, and can do some amazing things to share in. Teach them that beings are to be respected and honored for their individuality and contributions. Teach them that we each are accountable, and should take serious responsibility for our every emotion and action which have consequences which ripple out through space-time with sometimes devastating results. Teach them that what makes us amazing, is our ability to learn, change, and feel. Caution them of the beast that lives inside each and every Human. Everyone one has different boiling points and triggers, once pushed, nature takes over. Survival and need of attention and voice are the most powerful instincts and needs we possess; and the most important instincts and needs our collective humanity must freely supply and share to be successful.
*Reject all currency; it is absolutely unnecessary when we freely share and volunteer. It would only serve a greedy controlling minority, separate, and stunt the development of the entire species.
The items above are just common sense, my personal note on the matter is below:
I often hear people say they want World Peace, but seeing it hasn't happened yet I assume they have failed, never really tried, or just lacked the ability to understand the problems and/or communicate with the world. I'm guessing since there is no profit to be made bringing World Peace there really wasn't much of a motivation to make it happen.
Well, if your really pause for a second, step back and take a really good look at the world you live on, it isn't pretty. You are trapped on hostile slave planet complete with borders and a work for your food mentality, a majority living in poverty, a minority controlling the worlds wealth, and everything controlled by 3 groups, governments, financial institutions, and 40000 different religions whom are more interested in the past and controlling large masses, but don't seem to be interested in bringing world peace either.
Is this the inheritance you wish to pass on to your children? If this is what you call "the best environment for children" than there is nothing to worry about. But looking at the fact that these groups have been the cause all wars, and the reason why this planet remains divided, you might want to reconsider your motivation.
Your children deserve a better planet and a better quality of life, why haven't you done your best to provide it? Are you scared? Not enough money in it for you? Don't have the time? Well how about this... I dare you. I double dare you. I dare you to create a better world for your chidren. I dare you to demand World Peace!
.....I can't hear you.
