This is the third instalment in the series on schooling vs. education. Delving further into the lesson of obedience, considering how families and communities are so much embedded in a culture of submission, that the belief in obedience becomes a presupposition, a world view that is held under the level of awareness, and like any other unchecked and unaware belief, it taints the lens through which we view the world around us, and continues to manifest and become our reality.Source reading:Education - Free and Compulsory by Murray N.

This episode is the second instalment of the series on Schooling vs. Education. In this episode I begin to explore the unspoken or implicit lessons of school: Obedience, conformity, apathy, class position, intellectual dependency and provisional self esteem, drawing from my personal experience and substantiated by the works of John Taylor Gatoo, I focus mainly on the first lesson - obedience.

Bem-vindos a mais um episódio do clubinho de literatura! Dessa vez, eu decidi focar em livros ou diretamente ou tangencialmente relacionados a educação, e procurar explicações para minha intuição de que "investir em educação" ou coisa do tipo é desperdício de dinheiro e meramente falar disso é pura demagogia feita para mexer com nossas emoções e manipular nosso comportamento. Acabei também comentando um livro sobre a era progressista, que foi o período que estabeleceu o sistema educacional como temos hoje, para entender a visão que gerou o pesadelo que temos hoje.

"You start to limit free speech, and in the end, it will be denied to the people with the least power. And eventually, it will be denied to you." // Dr. Jonathan Zimmerman is one of the leading education historians today. His work examines how education policies and practices have evolved and where political and social movements intersect with teaching and learning. Dr. Zimmerman holds a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University, and he has authored books on sex and alcohol education, history and religion in school curricula, the history of public schooling, and teaching controversial issues in the classroom. His most recent book, published in April 2021, is titled 'Free Speech: And Why You Should Give a Damn.' // On Episode #47 of the Path to Follow Podcast, Jake and Jon discuss teaching English in Nepal, the origins of Jon's interest in the history of education, how politics and education coexist, what schools are for, the connection between free speech and democracy, the attack on free speech as a fundamentally bipartisan issue, free speech as the "great moral renovation of humankind," cancel culture and self-censorship in elite institutions, speech and violence, Mary Beth Tinker, and Jon's 2021 book, 'Free Speech: And Why You Should Give a Damn.' // Enjoy the episode?

For me, equality begins with how you feel about yourself and this is a source of greater leadership. We often see inequality as a problem with other people. It's not just others we need to consider, we need to look at ourselves, as well. We are going to look at both sides of this same coin - equality with people around us as well as within ourselves.

Our guest today is Trevor McKendrick, Chief of Staff at Lambda School, where students graduate and get the job because they got the skills - and it’s free until they get a job paying over $50K. In this podcast, Trevor goes to the heart of “the customer experience” and details how everything they do is framed in light of reducing the risk and elevating the satisfaction of the customer - their students.Education is transforming, whether we are ready or not. With a steady eye on mastery-based progression and competency-based learning, Lambda School is trail-blazing an education model that begins with the end in mind. As they design skills training, they start by determining available jobs and target their program to prepare qualified candidates. In contrast, the traditional university model offers a more static curriculum, without the same regard for whether or not it ultimately prepares students for the market they will enter. Listen and consider how the student experience in your school could be improved by starting with an innovative outcome in mind.Quotes:2:48 “When we are thinking about how to design an experience for our students, it always comes from the point of view of - how can we eliminate that risk?”6:55 “The point of school is not to get through it as fast as you can; the point is to actually learn the material that you wanted to learn.”21:40 “We think about - what are the jobs that employers actually want (to fill)? And let’s start from there and design the programs and get the students who are interested in those things.“28:27 “The idea is - if the student experience is as good as... if you had as much confidence in attending Lambda and getting the job as you did when you order on Amazon or got on Uber, then nothing else matters. ...that’s why it’s the main thing we focus on.”Where to learn more about the guest:Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/trevormckendrickTwitter - @TrevMcKendrick Lambda School - https://lambdaschool.com/Trevor’s newsletter - https://www.howitactuallyworks.com/Where to learn more about Enrollhand:Website: www.enrollhand.comOur webinar: https://webinar-replay.enrollhand.comOur free Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/schoolgrowth/

Khan acknowledges the benefits of America offering free, mass public education but also points to some of the downfalls of the American educational system. He explains why it's important for students to learn at their own pace with a goal of mastering the content, rather than needing to move on to the next lesson while still having gaps in understanding.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

 TAGS  EducationMurray N. RothbardWhat is it about today's school system that so many find unsatisfactory? Why have generations of reformers failed to improve the educational system, and, indeed, caused it to degenerate further and further into an ever declining level of mediocrity?In this radical and scholarly monograph, Murray N. Rothbard identifies the crucial feature of our educational system that dooms it to fail: at every level, from financing to attendance, the system relies on compulsion instead of voluntary consent. In contrast, a market-based system of schools would adhere to a purely voluntary ethic, financed with private funds, and administered entirely by private enterprise.This audiobook is made available through the generosity of Mr. Tyler Folger.

In the modern era very few people understand that the Skyclock is the only true keeper of time in our world. In the modern era we are trying, once again, to regain ancient knowledge of the thing that is said to have lifted humans out of barbarism – the Skyclock.

This episode covers where our standard of education or lack thereof came from. There is a hidden cast system in the west and always has been. This system ensures lower levels of society serve the top half of one percent of the world population.

This is an edited version of my recent appearance on Liberty Under Attack Radio, with Shane Radliff. In this conversation we address considerations for constructively communicating the problems with public schooling to its supporters and even its employees. This includes: -knowledge of the needs, beliefs, concerns of audience -confidence in your evidence and conviction in your arguments -clarity in definition, education vs schooling -regular access to the people -and they have to be willing to audit their beliefs From Liberty Under Attack: On this broadcast of Liberty Under Attack Radio, we hosted the 22nd edition of the direct action series. We covered three items off of The Freedom Umbrella of Direct Action; namely, strategic withdrawal, myth busting, and debunking fallacies. In the first three segments, we were joined by Brett Veinotte from the School Sucks Podcast to discuss government indoctrination, more commonly known as public schooling. We started our discussion by digging into the root problems of the institution and the sheer lunacy found within. In the second segment, we dug into Brett’s background, the Prussian model of schooling adopted by the United States, and more. In the third segment, Brett provided the basic criteria for communicating the dangers of public schooling to those we are close to that are still within the institution. A Quote to Juxtapose to the Concern About A Clinton Or Trump-Run Federal Department of Education "For what is meant by saying that a government ought to educate the people? Why should they be educated? What is the education for? Clearly, to fit the people for social life — to make them good citizens. And who is to say what are good citizens? The government: there is no other judge. And who is to say how these good citizens may be made? The government: there is no other judge. Hence the proposition is convertible into this — a government ought to mold children into good citizens…. It must first form for itself a definite conception of a pattern citizen; and, having done this, must elaborate such system of discipline as seems best calculated to produce citizens after that pattern. This system of discipline it is bound to enforce to the uttermost. For if it does otherwise, it allows men to become different from what in its judgment they should become, and therefore fails in that duty it is charged to fulfill." -Herbert Spencer, philosopher Look Closer: Education: Free and Compulsory, by Murray Rothbard -

Salting roads for the common good (and corroding vehicles) Private property owners have no interest in benefitting from commerce and trade--not! But what about the roads (and fire and police "services)! Nothing like institutionalized legalized monopolies as the best way to solve problems Bureaucratized utilities once again to the rescue; preservation of the status quo is always best, especially regarding the utility monopolies; thinking outside the statist electricity box; the genius of Nikola Tesla: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_energy_transfer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wardenclyffe_tower#Theory_of_wireless_transmission But what about the schools! Most realize the massive failure in this area Harry Browne's hypothetical of government running the computer industry http://www.harrybrowne.org/articles/FreeTheSchools.htm Imagine if education worked like the computer industry; the sky's the limit So, in the spirit of Thoreau, we must strike at the root of coercive education, not merely hack at the branches http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/h/henrydavid161709.html Future School: Reshaping Learning from the Ground Up: Alvin Toffler tells us what's wrong -- and right -- with public education by James Daly http://www.edutopia.org/future-school It's way past time to abolish governmental schools, which are designed to produce "disciplined" industrial workers but don't even accomplish that; instead, they barely inculcate rudimentary skills while fostering compliance and obedient mentalities Leave it to Marx and Lenin to promote the essentials of authoritarian education And leave it to John Dewey and Horace Mann (and Henry Barnard and Josiah Quincy and Jacob Abbott et al.) to implement their authoritarian scheme Crossing Education's Rubicon With Horace Mann http://sixthcolumn.typepad.com/cubedseducationblog/2007/05/education_is_a_.html Becoming the property of the State via compulsory education Education: Free and Compulsory by Murray N. Rothbard http://www.mises.org/story/2226 And leave it to religion to lay down a framework of blind obedience to "authority," in which "authority" is seen as benevolent Mann is seen as the father of American "public education"; in addition to being a master of phrenology;) he was also a big supporter of the temperance movement (abstinence), which led to the prohibition era championed by big Mann-fan and despot Woodrow Wilson Following the Prussian educationist model, Mann promoted the following: the debilitating "whole-language," or "look-say," reading method; a centralized educational system at the federal level; and, getting private universities to be publicly funded With governmental schools, the bad ideas and bad money (extorted via taxation) drive out the good ideas and good money (voluntarily exchanged); it's hard for the private sector to compete with "free" governmental schools The Spread of Education Before Compulsion: Britain and America in the Nineteenth Century by Edwin G. West http://www.fee.org/publications/the-freeman/article.asp?aid=3872 Families find themselves "...caught in a choice-restricted monopoly system serving the interests not of the demanders but of the rent-seeking suppliers."--as in all things involved in government, follow the money trail... Coercive education, like coercive government, is predicated on the belief that some people know what's best for all people In order to implement his own form of arbitrary power, Horace Mann and those of his ilk gravitated toward the coercive educational models practiced in foreign countries where the cancer of statism had metastasized (i.e., the most consistent adherents to the principle of statism) The people in today's power-centers of coercive control see themselves as a cut above the rest The essence of being an authoritarian sociopath is choosing to deal with others in a disrespectful fashion, using threats and violence instead of persuasion and reason Hiding in and not taking responsibility for the system of authoritarian sociopathy is of course assuming its traits The theme promoted and modeled in the governmental schools is one of obedience The master/slave relationship is the ultimate example of racism "Racism is the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism." http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/racism.html The Student as Nigger by Jerry Farber, 1969 http://ry4an.org/readings/short/student/ Essays and Stories by Jerry Farber http://www.soilandhealth.org/03sov/0303critic/030301studentasnigger.html "Authority addicts" defer self-responsibility to others (the "authorities") A little lesson on Farber's reference to the torturous "Procrustean set-up" of education: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procrustes Slavery, like statism, tends to perpetuate itself from the inside Harriet Tubman: "I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves." http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/h/harriettub388682.html Dealing with the psychological/social resistance to change; being attacked by fellow slaves who accept the constant theft, violence, and lies of government; such attacks reveal that they know the moral nature of the argument and they concede defeat Curiosity requires a level of emotional intelligence (respect for feelings) that most people still need to achieve It's idiotic to believe that authoritarian sociopaths have any regard whatsoever for you as an individual, or for your freedoms Just as farmers benefit from having free range chickens that produce more for them, authoritarian sociopaths benefit from giving their perceived "livestock" the illusion of being free so that they produce more for them; this is the matrix we live in True News 13: Statism is Dead - Part 3 - The Matrix by Stefan Molyneux http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P772Eb63qIY Who really are the human farmers, i.e., slave masters? Statist intellectuals who feed off others and thus justify institutionalized coercion (government) The drug war as an example of erroneous thinking about morality and law, in which breaking "the law" is equivalent to being immoral (again, following from the master/slave relationship) "The law" or "State" can never be the victim; individuals are the real victims within such a demented system--and governmental officials are the real criminals The Socialism of Public Schooling by Jacob G. Hornberger http://www.fff.org/comment/com0811c.asp Elegantly exposing the contradiction: "Advocates of government schooling claim that parents are not competent to make educational decisions for their children. That raises an obvious question: Why not? Aren’t most parents products of public schooling? If public schooling has produced a nation of adults who lack the competence to guide their children’s education, why do we want to continue a system that is likely to produce the same result?" The communistic methods of coercive funding and provision of education utilize vouchers as a trojan horse to further control non-governmental education The institution of government is based on the idea that you don't own yourself, that you are a slave to statist "authorities" Thus it's crucial to challenge the pemes (political memes) that are in our heads #TL074: PEME-THEORY - BASIC, INTERMEDIATE & ADVANCED by Frederick Mann http://www.buildfreedom.com/tl/tl074.shtml #TL075: PEMES = POLITICAL MEMES by Frederick Mann http://www.buildfreedom.com/tl/tl075.shtml Project Abolish Stupidity & Increase Intelligence by Frederick Mann http://www.buildfreedom.com/stupidity/abolish_stupidity.html Further historical reading: The Underground History of American Education by John Taylor Gatto http://www.johntaylorgatto.com/chapters/index.htm bumper music "School Sucks" by White Birch Home School Players (starring Robert Ryan Keech) School Sucks - Low Budget Music Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpkrWuXn2RE to comment, please go to http://completeliberty.com/magazine/category/91697
