How Can We?

How can we educate children with a war going on?
How can we educate children if they are starving?
How can we educate children if they go home to parents that are drunk
and/or stoned on drugs legal and illegal
How can we educate children that live 40 miles apart.

One option is a boarding school. My plans call for a boarding school for 500
students + staff to be built as follows:
1 each in the 50 states
1 each in the countries of the USA
1 in Palestine regardless of their status
I have teamed up with The Stars Foundation USA/International and
Iceman TV Productions of Toronto, Canada
We will be staging live events jointly and individually to raise money to help me adopt the orphans of the world temporarily or permanently.
If you would like to help, please email me at CaymanPeace@gmail.com

Rudolf Steiner

I am amazed that I just discovered this fellow yesterday. He was a fabulous intellectual from Germany that gave over 6,000 lectures and wrote many books. One of his books: "The Philosophy of Freedom" is being rediscovered today. I feel he was about 100 years ahead of his time. He left us with a wonderful educational concept known as Waldorf Schools. There are several in America and throughout the World. When I was reading about him I was thinking that his principals were very similar to Maria Montessori. Well, as I kept on reading, I discovered that they had studied the same philosophers and had individually arrived at the same conclusion.
That conclusion is that children need to learn in natural environments. They both believed in Holistic education where several subjects are acquired at the same time. They both made the connection between music, art, performing and the ability to remember more information as well as be able to transfer the information from one application to the other.
We need this now more than ever because as evolution speeds up we will need people that are capable of solving problems quickly, morally, and accurately.

Pragmatism and the Future of Education

There are many ways to look at Pragmatism. For me the easiest definition is practical and progressive. There are many people still in the world that live by myths and the misguided notion of certitude. The truth is that very little is totally certain and we live in a constantly evolving World.
When President Bush passed NCLB (No Child Left Behind) I am sure his motivation was to get each student in America as far as they could go according to their own attributes and natural talents. Sadly, what we have come to understand is that when each local school makes there own curriculum what then is the point of judging the schools system by National Statistics.
Recently there was a meeting of the minds to adopt such a National standard and at the conclusion of the meeting 48 States + the District of Columbia voted to tentatively accept the standards. Voting against were the States of Alaska & Texas. Now the reason I say tentative is because the standards are now published on the Internet with an invitation for anyone to provide feedback on any or all of the document.
Here is where I would like to employ a pragmatic goal.
The Conservative mindset protects the status quo and does not want any change because the way things are benefit the status quo.
The Liberal mindset never saw a change they didn't like no matter the cost of implementation.
As a Pragmatist I am saying that what we need to do is learn from the demonstration of circle of influence. Draw a circle and label it community. Draw another circle with about a third of the area of the new circle overlapping the first circle. Label the second circle Self. Now this system shows how we all integrate when it comes to relating to others.
Returning to the Conservative - they are circle #1 and the Liberal is #2. What we refer to as moderate I would say is also Pragmatic. The moderate is the one who sees the wisdom of both extremes and is most comfortable where the circles overlap. They are the ones that get everything done because they work by compromising and they understand that the debate can not go on forever.
As far as educating the children, the future of America: we must go further out to the Liberal & Progressive Theory but balance it with fair and unbiased credit to history and heritage. It is not fair of us in this 21st Century to return to a previous time and judge them by the standards we now have. Remember we will also be judged by people 30 to 100 years from now. 30 years from now there will be 5 times the number of individual businesses we now have in the world and we today would only recognize about 10%.
Change is coming and it is coming faster each year. Unless we push the student more to the future instead of the past they will not be able to attain the same or better lifestyle that we now enjoy.
Love & Peace, Deborah

Swine Flu

While there are many topics that come under educating the World I am starting with Swine Flu today because it has become such a big issue in the USA and other parts of the World. If you watch the news or read the news you will see that most people are trying to get the vaccine if they are in the targeted groups. The Swine Flu seems to be the worst for the young and of course for anyone that is compromised such as aids. There are shortages because the private sector that is so touted by the Republican Party promised what they could not deliver. When they made the promise to the President at the onset they did not realize that the vaccine for H1N1 (Swine) flu was going to take almost twice as long to grow as the vaccine for the common flu from 2008. This is mostly because we are still using eggs to grow the vaccine. You see it is not as profitable as turning out the over-prescribed pills that dominate the "to do" list of big pharma.This now brings us to the second topic. Vaccine causes everything from autism to aids according to anyone with a computer and access to the Internet. If you or your child has any allergy to eggs you may want to take your chances and skip the vaccine. Thus far there has been no proof that any vaccine causes autism. Two things come into play: #1 autism is usually diagnosed not at birth but closer to age 5 or older thus beyond the time of vaccination. It is easy to see how the parents would want to say if only they had not vaccinated their child ....You get the picture. #2 is the fact that with the Internet you get all sorts of postings. Some qualify as honest & factual but many do not. There is no clear cut way to tell the good from the bad except by cross reference.One of the things that is not being discussed is the theory, based on a limited study, that aging fathers are more likely to give birth to a child with autism.
