Subject: Education

=================================================
Bruce:

Dear Tonguessy, Georges, Antonio and all,

Yes, Antonio stresses the need for parents to teach children to be open,
have their own thoughts and discuss them. This is good, but it does not
go
far enough. There are many "teachers" and society is one of them. Thus
a society which does not embrace free thought, does not accept new
ideas and ways of thinking, the individual will be shut down again.

DD is of course necessary to free people, to be people.

Than too the curriculum of schools, as well as the way things are taught
needs to be looked at objectively.

I believe, we can not all be all things. We each have our areas of
expertise. There could be groups of people with specific talents in
developing
education, curriculum and teaching methods. These groups could than
offer their combined results as an initiative to be considered by the
rest of
the people.

I believe also that other fields, medical, mental health, society,
economics, etc could all be areas where like minds of DD people could
combine
their knowledge and "suggest" these results to the people to bring to
the "government".

Perhaps we could start an educational blog or list?

Thanks for this topic,
Bruce Eggum

We are currently running the Democracy Workshop in which
we found that proper education is a necessary condition
for transition to DD, in which we have opened a chapter
"Proper Education". Rather than creating redundant lists
all interested are welcome to join. You don't have to
register, it's open to anybody and you may contribute on
condition of complying with debate principles available in:

Let me say by anticipation that

1.IMO the smart assholes running the establishment will
never conceive, let alone implement the necessary changes.
Logic which has created the problem will not solve it.

2.It's therefore for us, normal people to run the show,
using of course the competences when available and open
to thought. However, as long as we don't merit the driving
license we are good to run a car in a tree, but not to
run any show at all. And, while our simple village Forum
worked itself successfully through the grind, nobody in
our highbrow lists seems to be able to tell the front of
a car from the rear.

3.Only the concrete experience of having learned something
in a proper way will tell us what should be done with the
education system.

That's why I propose to start with the Workshop on Architecture
of Vehicles and gain nos driving licenses before trying to
change the world.
