Schools Are A 12 Year Sentence Of Memorising
Do you notice a theme with these shows?
Millionaire hot seat
The chase
Who wants to be a millionaire
They equate success, intelligence and brains with being able to repeat back information you've memorised. We have been trained to believe this is what 'smart' and 'intelligent' looks like.
School rewards students who can memorise information verbatim and regurgitate it with gold stars, A grades, and class dux. Twelve years of being fed information needed to pass a test which is forgotten as soon as you've walked out of the room.
What's the point of it?
Tell me ten things you learnt through the curriculum that positively impacted your life. Can you?
Twelve years spent memorising irrelevant information you no longer remember or need.
Why have they got us memorising information instead of personally navigating through details with ALL our senses to make individual analyses, perspectives and choices?
Why is there ever only one correct answer?
For decades Robert Kiyosaki has been educating us on why schools don't teach financial education; he also explains, "the true measure (and test) of intelligence is our ability to be open-minded enough to evaluate and appreciate other points of view, other ways of looking at things. In school, there's usually one 'right answer.' In the real world, the 'right answer' is often dependent upon individual circumstances or conditions."
As you would know, when you start asking questions and hunting for information, you find it challenging to get a straight answer because the information has been censored or buried. You see a glowing web of lies and deceit if you keep looking.
Then, if you continue looking, you find the TRUTH.
Compulsory schooling was set up to infiltrate young minds and hearts away from their true gifts of who they uniquely are. Children are taught subjects that hinder their spirit and creative and curious nature, turning these precious souls into an obedient mass of mindless consumers and reliant employees. Which is an absolute nightmare if you want something else for your child, someone who is healthy and whole.
The complete ridiculousness of it all.
ENOUGH! School as we know it has gotta go.
Our vision is to replace:
School with family and community
Tests with apprenticeships and trades
Teachers with skilled, passionate experts
Classrooms with experiences
Healthy Whole Humans has a plan mapped out in our MANIFESTO. Still, we all must actively participate and consciously make this a reality. This movement requires changing how you've been told to do things for a long time. And I get that's hard. But what's harder - watching generation after generation not only get dumber but less curious, less creative, less connected to nature, and less of who they are, or stepping away from the system who's doing the harm?
Instead of telling children what they are supposed to learn. Doesn't our general communities dictate what we want to learn to grow, evolve and thrive?
Aren't you over being told how to raise your child instead of nurturing them to be more of who they wonderfully already are?
This change requires you to courageously step away from the norm to create something better with heart-centred families to make communities in your suburbs and towns. Bringing people together like never before, so communities can be made to support each other, making the next generation the best one yet!
The time is now. Share this with others who want their children to continue being Healthy Whole Humans.
With Love,
