Dr. Richard Bandler - Patterns for Problem Solving: The new structure of magic 

Well stated!

The way we do schooling in the USA is a sh!t show. Even in the "best" government schools, and a good many of the private/charter schools that imitate the government schools. I knew this even as a kid in the 80s from reading books like Superlearning by Ostrander & Schroeder. Then, stumbling upon Bandler & Grinder's books and other hypnotherapy books in a uni library when I was 15 only reinforced the realization that we are only taught (or allowed) to use a tiny fraction of our potential to learn or to achieve. BTW, as a kid with "ADHD" -- which is apparently another name for hyper-creativity -- I was fascinated by much of what I read in their books but there were other things I didn't understand . Stupidly, I didn't seek opportunities for training and I eventually forgot about it and "life happened." Now I'm trying to make up for lost time and, as a future health coach, I hope I can learn and use these techniques to help people.

"And schools should never be allowed to fail" Disagree, Utterly I've seen the damage wrought by schools (and students) NOT allowed to fail. There are kids, right now who would honestly grow up better and more well balanced if they never went to school and found themselves in biker gangs. THATS how screwed up some of the schools have become. (Not that I'd prefer biker gangs obviously, but THAT is how damaging it is.)

@@sirellyn I'm not sure we're talking about the same "fail". for me a failure is when kids are not taught, respected, educated and taught how to learn, among other things.

@ I'm saying be careful what you are wishing for. Modern schools in Canada and the US will tell you to your face they will do those things you wanted. (In the most twisted ways possible)

@@sirellyn you are absolutely right.

@ I have no clue why it deleted the second half of my message and only left the word narcissist. Sorry about that. I've edited the message. I was just saying, current schools the best result you can hope for is your kids not to understand basic problem solving, nor core subjects like english, math etc, and the ideology is likely promote them acting like narcissists.

Get involved. It's not enough to sit on the sidelines and criticize. Decision-makers need to hear from the community. Attend school board meetings, as a person with vested interest in making education more fun, interesting, empowering, and holistic (supporting a whole-person and healthy community). *This is a note to self of what next steps i must take, because the public school behemoth in the U.S. that I've seen is not endowed enough to keep wasting big money on bad textbooks. Go look at them. Many are less explanatory, and more condescending than you remember.

@@2ndpersondancing Respectfully, I think the "get involved in your community" bit may help to defend against the worst of the bad ideas coming down the pipeline but it will not bring about the wholesale paradigm shift that is needed.

@@africkinamerican The paradigm shift really requires people to plant seeds.
