With the title I just imagined *Let's tax the children*

Oh, how I loved this! It also made me reflect on how miserably most of us have failed either by creating too much entitlement or by negligence that never should have been permitted. Neglecting the fundamentals of life for someone else's child should be a crime in any culture that wishes to survive. It is terminal stupidity. What kind of culture will not protect its young? Is it one that DESERVES to survive? As a mother of five grown people, I know something more than I knew before I loved each of them. I KNOW that children are 'little people" - whole worlds waiting to manifest. I learned when they were little from some preacher somewhere to think of children like rose bushes: some are floribundas, some are grandifloras, some are climbing roses and some are miniatures and old fashions. That preacher said that our job as parents is simply to enable them to become the most beautiful examples of the kind of rose that they were meant to be. Pruning is necessary for some types and not so much for others. Fertilizing must happen for roses at the right time. Some need winter protection- but it must be done properly. Some need to be trained against a wall to show off their beauty and to stop the wind from breaking their branches. They all need appropriate amounts of water when they need it. They also have thorns and they must not be encouraged to hurt others with tools that they were given for when they need to protect themselves. That is our duty to others. They are not works of art. They are HAPPENINGS. They are worthy of every bit of love you can give them. They are worthy of all the constructive self examination you can undertake to be your own best rose. They move off into lives of their own, taking an essential piece of your heart away into the future. Your heart takes a horrifying and frequently enlightening and rewarding journey of discovery- not all of those discoveries are ones you would opt to make. Being a mother and raising 5 into adulthood remains the single hardest thing I have ever done. It made 3 degree, 2 of which are post grad, seem like a cake walk. The children are little people who need adults- but not forever.

In one of the poorest counties in Georgia, my grandson has had fantastic teachers & has surpassed all expectations. His kindergarten teacher has taught the same grade in the same school for 20 years. Teaching is a passion, we should reward those who teach our kids, monetarily, socially & emotionally! Letting kids explore their passionate interests results in better learning

Thank you, Stephanie. You take the extra steps necessary to move beyond what must be taught in a standard way, to learn what they see, touch, smell, think, and hear. I doubt many know how much work this is. And thank you for taking the chance to step out and speak. To stand up there for others to make pot shots at you. And yet, you made your point. Teaching has never been about just facts. If a teacher is engaged with their students, so much more can be taught by exploring.

Love this!! We can make so many changes in education. Simply having a desk that my son can stand at has changed his life.

Thanks for this topic. It's opened my mind to bring my children's in the new world. To see this life more better.

Listen to children change the world

Well said. You have given your community healthy enquiring hearts and minds that can inspire their community to be all that they can be.

I agree with you, in child life arguments and I like it

your a wonderful woman and i wish more teachers were like you

This is why I love Odyssey of the Mind

So in Educational world's more important for children in our future

This is the system what we want

Great job, 🙏

@@nutzer5714 They are. They're just not independant yet. That's why education should revolve around listening to the kid and answering his own personal questions. Instead of teaching him what society requires him to think and do. But that wouldn't do with 20+ pupils by class, everything with education is wrong nowadays.

The opening was a little off to me.

Not every child has original thoughts. As much as I'd like to agree with you, children need to be guided. Morals are not instinctive. Look at nature: survival of the fittest. Nature is aggressive. Unless you are advocating a regression to our natural human urges and drives, leaving children to their own "learning" will undo thousands of years of guided civility. Having said that, the current education system is broken. So I commend you on your endeavours. Keep searching.

@HeIs580

I pretty much agree with that statement. But at the same time, look at what "years of guided civility" has done to people. We're unable to think outside the box, and we're being led our entire lives by school, work, people around us and on screens. That's what "succeeding" means in modern society. That's maybe why not every child has original thoughts to begin with...

The other concern is the burden of various subjects over a child . He is not supposed to chose a subject of his want at the earliest possible age. Even Einstein had no any interest for subjects like history or poltical science. He said that learning facts is not education. And, a child's development rests upon the passion that he has!

I was gonna say that .

There is a reason why there are standards and why they give you enough time to cover the standards. You say you covered 80% of your material in a 3rd of your total alotted time. Where are your test scores? Did you actually teach them what they need to know? Thats what tests are for. I dont like it anymore than the rest of you. I am all for education reform. But the reform is going to have standards too. there will be tests to... test to make sure those standards are being met. It should always be kept in mind that kids are NOT competent. If they were, they wouldn't need education would they?

@Andrew Boughner I disagree. She claimed that she covered 80%of the material in 3 months. We dont know that she covered it adequately. If her test scores were good, why wouldn't she at least mention them. Like "we covered all this material in a fraction of the normal time, and my kids test scores prove it! 80% of them got a B or higher at the end of the year!" If she doesn't back up her claims with test scores, she could just have said "our education system sucks, we should change it" and saved every body time. All she did was point out her themes dino lessons. Wich is cool. But doesn't add anything.

LOL MARTY. Have you even read standards? Tests consist of kids comprehending completely random information. For example, they are tasked with reading a story and picking out the theme and what certain vocabulary words mean. So this random science experiment DOES allow a talented teacher to INTEGRATE science standards AND fun! The kids have fun while learning, that's a win/win... ya halfwit.
