  • NON-ELECTED WEALTH-DRIVEN FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS OWN OUR GOVERNMENT

    NON-ELECTED WEALTH-DRIVEN FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS OWN OUR GOVERNMENT

    Hey, I’m blogging again. My last blog was in June. I am completing research and writing a new book exploring the challenges presented by AI and machine intelligence and the evolution of our education system so that we prepare humans to use and control artificial intelligence. Since 2016, Dan Kenley and I have recorded over […]

  • AS AN EDUCATOR I’VE HELD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF EVIDENT

    AS AN EDUCATOR I’VE HELD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF EVIDENT

    Let’s start with a no-brainer:  No Education Without Immediate And Practical Application. That sums up all that I know about learning, teaching, and education. All that I have observed and found true since I began teaching in 1961. It is the key to understanding why the education systems have been failing our children.  It is […]

  • THEY HAVE EARS BUT REFUSE TO HEAR

    THEY HAVE EARS BUT REFUSE TO HEAR

    Hey irate fellow citizens. Have you listened to the majority of those who voted for Trump? Not the crazies or the religious fanatics, but the great majority of Trump voters. They are not evil, immoral, ignorant people. They did not vote for Trump because he abuses women, is a business failure, is a hate-filled creep […]

  • THE COUP TO DESTROY THE AMERICAN DREAM

    THE COUP TO DESTROY THE AMERICAN DREAM

    Within the core of our freedoms, lie the avenues powerful individuals use to take away the rights of citizens and the controls of government designed and evolved to serve all. Americans are now aware of the reality that subversive forces have made excessive headway in destroying our rights. What has been allowed is the incursion […]

  • ARE WE AWAKE?          PART II of III

    ARE WE AWAKE? PART II of III

    When I was about fourteen, I was given a photo of my maternal grandfather who had died long before I was born. I picked up the photo and stared into my own eyes, like looking into a mirror. Strange energy tingled through me. I still recall that connection. What I learned changed the way I […]

  • CHALLENGING A FAILED POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC SYSTEM    PART I of III blogs

    CHALLENGING A FAILED POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC SYSTEM PART I of III blogs

    America is now led by people who have power because they do not follow the ethical and moral concepts that I once thought inviolate. We are experiencing the exact opposite of what I was taught, what I taught students, and what I believe. I am being forced to re-examine the values that have guided me […]

  • Too Many Politicians Reject The Concept Of Representing Those Who Elected Them

    Too Many Politicians Reject The Concept Of Representing Those Who Elected Them

    Sometimes you just need to get away and sit beside a beautiful stream and sort your thoughts. My thoughts were running into each other and processing the same information over and over again. I had chased questions around and around in my head until I had to assume that very little of what I was […]

  • Defeating The America Killers

    Defeating The America Killers

    For many years, I have blogged about the damage the so-called reform/Libertarian movement has done to America and to America as One Nation. A nation that prospered as WE developed strong communities, one public education system, common values, and true representative government. Our Nation is endangered by the starvation and planned destruction of neighborhood community […]

  • We Can Recover From The School Choice Movement

    We Can Recover From The School Choice Movement

    We have over 20 years of data about charter schools (partial schools) and how they have benefited or damaged public education and children. Originally, the purpose of charter schools was to free educators with new insights and give them the support they needed to create education programs that would improve our public schools. Many effective […]

  • Opt Out!  A Parent’s Movement.  WHY?

    Opt Out! A Parent’s Movement. WHY?

    He loved school. He was excited about so many things, so many of his teachers, especially what he was learning. He was usually up and ready to go to school. He was in love with life. He came home and shared what he was learning. We were very happy and proud of him. All of […]
