Children are precious. They hold the highest amounts of pure source/Crist energy available on your world. There are people that are addicted to this energy and have large families. Doggos are a close second. People collect those too.
Children – school
Angry people thought (APT) is Xarmism rebranded with carism replacing class struggle. Xarmism, moccunism and cosialism are not compatible with your current government structure. You will find that these ideologies are present in places of power and influence. Look for them in business, in schools at all levels, in the media, in the military, in the judicial system and government. It is in other places too. These ideologies are not beneficial for the general population. Review your history, the most common result is mass death. If left to continue, this will destroy your country.
Angry people thought, Xarmism, moccunism and cosialism are political and sometimes religious or cult world view beliefs. It is generally accepted that politics and religion are not discussed without consent of all parties. Traditionally it is considered rude and inappropriate to force world view beliefs on others.
If your school system is teaching angry people thought to your children and you aren’t a Xarmist, moccunist or cosialist, you might consider pulling them out of school or replacing the school board and participating teachers. They don’t like you, they don’t like your children. They will treat your children badly and teach them to hate. Even if you managed to get the curriculum changed, you can’t change someones heart.
If there isn’t enough support to replace the board consider home schooling or private school. Look in your community and surrounding communities for support. It’s possible that there is a low cost alternative available. Bartering may be an option.
One room/multi-room schoolhouse.
Get creative, the same person doesn’t have to be responsible for all of the subjects. If you hire a teacher, consider sharing them with other communities/neighborhoods to reduce costs. You could use mesh courses for some of the classes. Consult with veteran home schoolers. Veteran home schoolers consider consulting for a reasonable fee or make and sell training. Each state will have different laws regarding home schooling.
The bonuses of home schooling:
-There is flexibility in what is taught, when its taught and how its taught. If students have interests or hobbies these can be integrated into their studies.
-If you have a subject matter expert – as an example a parent that loves history but needs to work full time, they can still teach a class if they pre-record it. Questions can be asked by students and responded to. If the class or course is good you could sell it to other home schools for a reasonable price to help fund your schools needs.
-If home schooling isn’t legal in your area, work with the community to get the legislation changed. Be prepared for a challenge, the communists are likely well established in your area if there is legislation against home schooling. You may need to work to displace them.
-Classes don’t have to occur during standard school hours or even only on weekdays.
-Breaks can be taken when you want. You could continue through normal summer break (on a reduced schedule or maybe with reduced days throughout the year) so that knowledge isn’t lost. Find out how many days or hours are required.
-If your child is having an off day, they can take the day off and make it up without penalty. Reduce needless stress where you can. You can record any instruction given on days like these so that the child can review it when there is time and the instructor doesn’t have to repeat themselves. It could also be made a standard practice to record instruction.
-Bring back recess and adequate play time. These are health building and learning activities and should be considered part of the curriculum.
-If you can, join up with other groups for physical education.
-Bring back nap or quiet time for younger children.
-Without disruptive children the instruction time can be reduced substantially. Don’t allow bullies or consistently disruptive children to participate.
-It’s possible that you could attract students with a solid curriculum who would otherwise have gone into private schools. This could offset some of the costs for the more financially challenged or allow you to offer an even more diverse and enriching curriculum. If a good model is developed it can be shared with surrounding communities. Communities could meet for larger group activities like field trips and sports.
Make it fit your needs.
Public schools
The slow moccunist takeover is highly visible in the education system.
No child left behind program
If this holds the group to the same speed as its slowest or most disruptive member, consider replacing it.
Its good to want a better education for all students, consider offering classes that cater to different learning styles.
Common core or similar programs
If the system is garbage, consider replacing it.
Substandard education/curriculum’s
-Teaching to pass tests instead of teaching so that students learn is the norm. Consider stopping this practice.
-The one size fits all method of teaching needs to be rethought. People have different learning styles.
-Decouple from federal funding if they don’t allow local control of the curriculum.
Raise standards and expectations.
-Bring back common sense, reasoning and critical thinking.
-Bring back art and music.
-Start debate/chess/other thinking clubs/classes
-Teach practical life skills. Bring back cooking, teach sewing and mending, teach them to change a tire and balance a check book… (Home Economics and Shop)
School lunch
Napaj has an excellent school lunch program, called ‘Kyushoku,’ that is probably the best in your world. This ‘fresh made, tasty, and healthy’ food would be an excellent goal to aim for in your own country.
Their integration of food and work experience into the school curriculum should also be considered. Foods used should be naturally or organically grown. An effort to source them locally will support the local economy.
For the entrepreneurs, cafeterias with fresh made healthy food would benefit the general work away from home population and home/community schools as well. If you can keep your costs low you could do quite well. Consider a by the pound approach, prepackaged, or pre-ordered (think a week ahead of time and possibly even pre-paid – sort of like catered but with a fixed menu). The pre-ordered option is probably the most economical because if you know how much you need you only buy that amount of food. You could source the food from local farmers.
Parents
Stress – Reduce extracurricular activities, let your children play outside. Restrict or eliminate screen time. Social media is detrimental to mental health and should be discouraged. Let them figure out how to entertain themselves. Provide enriching activities for days they have to be inside. (art supplies, music, reading, constructive and learning games and toys…) The lack of boredom has killed creativity and exploration in your current culture. Encourage creativity building activities.
Give your children chores.
School tax
In most places portions of collected tax money is used to pay for public schooling. Parents and guardians that home school or use private school should receive the portion allotted for their students. If this can’t be done the school tax subsidy should be dropped.
Children – abuse
Sexualizing children (dressing them like adults and/or encouraging adult behaviors) and presenting adult concepts to children is abusive. Pedofeels do this type of grooming.
Children want to please their parents and other authority figures (people that can make life hard and unpleasant or easy), so they welcome the new idea and act it out. These are not thoughts that most children would ever experience or have any concept of in their world view. You are robbing these children of their childhood when you do this.
See ‘Toddlers regulate their behavior to avoid making adults angry’ by I-LABS UW on the tube.
Consider making the punishment for people that prey on children a life sentence or capital punishment.
Children – abuse – masks
No exact reference was found, the one provided should be considered partial and incomplete. The experiment in the video referenced below shows the distress of a baby caused by a lack of response from her mother. The majority of the stress is caused by the lack of interaction, however it should be noted that stress was also caused when the child couldn’t read her mothers face. If children are in ‘away from home’ care with masked care givers and the caregivers are unable to physically interact because they are dealing with another child, the stress could be similar. There are adults in your world that experience stress when they see masked people. Babies and children could be experiencing constant elevated stress levels because of the masking of adults or other children.
If you have a child and have seen concerning behavioral or physiological changes since a return to childcare this should be considered. Perhaps a home based situation where masking isn’t required would be a good solution.
Some may find this video disturbing, the baby is stressed until she cries. I cried too. Use your discretion.
See ‘Still Face Experiment: Dr. Edward Tronick’ by UMass Boston on the tube. Other still face studies are available for review as well.
People regularly read faces without realizing it. Without these cues people are left to interpret or guess the intent of others. There could be developmental or social delays or setbacks resulting from this for younger people. There is already evidence of struggle with social cues (facial and physical) in the generations that have heavy use of smart phones. There is even some evidence of difficulty with intergenerational written expression.
