Learning in Life

Listen to your heart
The educational institutions have a standard curriculum approved by a committee depending on where you live. These are the people that make the decisions for us from when we are four or five years old. They tell us how to learn, what to learn, what not to learn, where to concentrate our efforts (science for example) to be the most successful in a society that has been handed down from our forefathers.
School can also be a place of learning where the weak or unconfident stay shy and reserved and the strong or confident succeed through many different means. There are good things about school; discipline for example, basic learning skills, staying on task, reading, writing, math, science, physical education etc. But the curriculum is essentially unchanged in format, and has even gotten harder.
One size does not fit all.
Individuals learn and mature at different rates, both physically and mentally. If a class of fifteen boys and fifteen girls are together, they are all measured on what they achieve during that year based on a “boxed” for everyone formula. As they get older, they will be given a few more choices, to broaden their horizons, or specialize in certain areas. Again, this is limiting.
Each child is different. They come here to learn various things. Most are far different than the others. So is the base needed? As mentioned above, it is helpful, but if one child learns at a different rate than another, and has interests that are not offered seriously in school, than that person becomes a dreamer and should “get with the program” to succeed in
life.
The parents are notified of the child and told that they should convince their child that the way to go is to pursue what the curriculum is suggesting. If the parents object, the kids suffer. If the child does not eventually do what is asked, they are labelled to be a child that does not listen properly. The next step is usually a visit with the school councillor and an “expert” to tell you how behind and stupid your child is. Many parents leave these meeting horrified, and place their children on recommended prescribed drugs because they don’t pay attention in class, pee their bed at night when they are eight, and don’t get along with everyone in school (who does).
Don’t listen to them. Guess what, your parents likely wet their bed at eight too. Only back then, it was just dealt with, not magnified exponentially. They likely twirled their pencil, doodled and stared out the window as well.
Let the children dream, it’s what we all came for. Dreams link us to intuition and allow dreams to become great ideas, and possibly reality down the road. Putting them on prescribed drugs makes them a drone for the society they built.
Let’s build a new society, one dream at a time.
