Metaphysically, the earth is shifting into the 4th dimension. We are moving from fear to love, from doubt to trust, from limitation to potential, from problems to opportunities, from competition to cooperation, from struggles to joy, from conflict and polarity to harmony and integration. This is from Gill Edwards
Nowadays when I admire cute babies inside their strollers I mindfully shift my fearful thoughts about their futures to their potential lives hopefully to be made more convenient with technology. I wold like to believe that the children with their mastery of the alphabets, colors, numbers etc will find more joy in learning than we had during the rote memory era.My wish is that education even in the public schools can give the individual learner opportunities to celebrate life as he/she develops as much as possible according to his/her pace.
According to “We Are Teachers” on Facebook, technology may be the answer. Recently my husband and I visited a bank. Our transaction ha to be done on a machine. I wanted to protest; I expected the personalized intervention of a bank employee I got earlier from another bank. My husband who is at home with technology readily complied guided by a bank employee. I realized changes for the better entail some sacrifices on my part.
Will students learn more without the structure of academic honors? Will children be compassionate even without the fear of punishment? How can learning be pursued without the cramping of too many subjects or topics into academic semesters or years? These are tall orders for existing structures designed for mass production. However, nothing can be manifested if it has not been thought of or dreamt of at first. Forming according to Martha Beck gives physical form to things that previously existed only in thought.
