I'm not sure if this post will count but I will post anyway. I panic in the public eye, especially if I have to give a presentation, therefor I was not effective at making my point on education. Basically, my overall thoughts on this subject are in agreement with a liberal education, which includes your basic curriculum along with the ability to gain insight with hands on solutions to problems that may arise. Creativity may resolve a certain problem better than a book smart individual, or it may be the other way around but at least we would be using our options instead of narrowing down our alternatives. Our society has done a great job of taking care of ourselves but seems to have overlooked our future generations and their children's well being. Instead of taking jobs that encourage or promote overall wellness, our past generations have looked at income facts, figures and comfort over the well being of our neighbors, planet, and wellness. Society seems to have hit an all time low when it comes to publications and media. The truth no longer matters as we rationalize our actions and impacts. Our political system is pure chaos at this point, societies messages to our youth are immoral or lack value, seniors may literally be worrying themselves to death over their means of survival, doctors make millions while the people stay sick, and children who really need help may not qualify or receive assistance due to lack of communication.
A secondary education is going to have lasting effects on our children and the way they use or loose their mind since it takes place throughout this stage. If we challenge our youth to use their minds and be creative, they are more likely to retain the knowledge. If we drill it in, they may get burnt out and become used to the same old thing verses new and exciting knowledge and concepts. Science is based on theories, so whose to say what theory is best overall? If it is a fact, then it is a law, not theory. Wouldn't it be nice to raise our kid's in a place where they are able to become as great as the universe allows them to be?
Intention is another study that is rarely given proper credit! Research proves amazing thing about the use of intention. If we are creating the best future we can, then why are there so many negative intentions and beliefs regarding it? For every chart we measure or rate by, we are setting a guideline that only has negative intentions when not met and very rarely places any focus on the true intentions behind it. Society can judge, degrade, and disrespect others around us while we still expect a good outcome? How is that going to take place if they have already set the mental standards to fail? If everyone is looking for what's wrong, who looks for what's right? The minds capabilities, is a field that all humans should learn to practice, use, and transform to a higher level than the one we remain on at this time!
