MEganize Education Approach: a Pre-K through 8th Total Solution.

July 21, 2020 | No Comments

Why Homeschool? Our federal schooling system is falling to pieces, and, by Bill Gates’ admission (a founder of Common Core), has been a failure. The curriculum is riddled with redundancy and poor process. The approach is no longer geared towards the student, but towards expediency. Covid and the liberal agenda has really changed the playing field, advancing its demise. The governments refuse to give up control, and is advancing more radical nonsense that is not educational at all, even divisively deceptive. One would have thought ‘liberal’ meant more freedom of choice! Public school classroom learning as is has become largely

Education Without Wisdom

November 14, 2019 | No Comments

“We live in a time of great school crisis linked to an even bigger social crisis. Our nation ranks at the bottom of the 19 industrial nations. The truth is that we don’t really teach anything except bad habits and how to obey orders.” John Gatto Teaching your children wisdom. “The function of wisdom is to discriminate between good and evil.” Cicero

Challenge Your Children

Santayana’s aphorism that ‘those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it’ is often forgotten. These are shoes collected from those killed in Auschwitz, a reminder of the results of a totalitarian/control (fixed) mindset of Nazi/leftist ideologists who operated under a simplistic blame motive for selfish gain, tossing all accepted values to the wind. How did they get there? Our western world has had decades of wealth and opportunity, to the extent where much of it now happens almost by default. Our culture is to provide for all our children’s needs, make things easy for them, and protect

Three Key Paradoxes behind our Failing Education

May 18, 2018 | Comments Off

What often seems to be a solution today can create bigger problems later. How do these ‘unintended consequences’ occur? As illustrated with this polluted river (Russian), the entitlement of the communist mindset indicates a culture where the individual needs exceed strategic reasoning, and entitlement leaves little consideration for others. It leads to ruin. The reasons behind this require that you understand the concepts of both paradox and principle. Paradoxes tend to fool us in that they produce the opposite output that we would expect. In an effort to increase our education performance, the Federal Government decided that they should have

MEganize your diet – Save your child’s life!

July 9, 2017 | Comments Off

If your child or family has an unhealthy diet (SAD), read on! If your child suffers from depression or a learning disorder, or has an ‘untreatable condition’, take note! This is a diet that works for fussy ‘carb’ eaters (like my children) and lays the foundation for good eating habits and a healthy life! It is also essential in treating illness. We go through our lives deliberating what to eat, dieting, taking supplements and zig-zagging our way through a maze of information, but miss key ingredients. In MEganize, the objective is to set up a structure that can be used

Over the last 10 years I have used my MEganize approach in homeschooling my 3 children, now 5, 9 and 13, developed around ‘best’ process and principles. The concepts behind this are explained in my MEgablogs and more fully in MEganize – Empower your child with an education for life! But talk is cheap and opinions are … well, common. Over the last two years my youngest son has attended pre-school. I was very frustrated with the level of their learning programs and how long they continued to learn the basic alphabet, one letter a day for 2 years! I

MEganize Pre-School Program

January 18, 2016 | Comments Off

False Assumptions Many of the assumptions that we hold dear, mainly accepted from our past practices, need to be revisited. Challenging these mindsets is essential as our educational structures and approaches are based on them. A number of critical assumptions have been proven to be false, but because our federal educational ‘control’ structure is rigid and unquestioned, we do not think to revise them accordingly. These all relate to the structure within which our children learn. This structure accounts for around 80% of their performance, so it is essential that we get these systemic issues (1st Quadrant) right. Some of

The Importance of Feedback

January 18, 2016 | Comments Off

This letter is for those parents who are concerned with their child’s learning productivity or who have a child who doesn’t seem to care about obedience. It offers context from the principles in MEganize – Empower your child with an education for life. Despite my writings about challenging our assumptions and revisiting our paradigms, I have found that this is more easily said than done. I have two examples that I would like to share with you. In both cases I went against my own advice, failed to follow my own manual, and in both cases went down the wrong

The Missing Link

November 4, 2015 | Comments Off

“American social engineers have systematically gone about destroying the intellect of millions of American children for the purpose of leading the American people into a socialist world government controlled by behavioral and social scientists. American people are underwriting the destruction of their own freedom and way of life by lavishly financing through federal grants the very social scientists who are undermining our national sovereignty and preparing our children to become the dumbed-down vassals of the new world order. One of the interesting insights revealed by these documents is how the social engineers use a deliberately created education “crisis” to move

Engaged

August 24, 2015 | Comments Off

Many of us are concerned about our children growing up with the now common ‘entitlement’ complex. Most of us are concerned that our children are not engaged in learning. How do we avoid these two paralyzing situations? Dr. Carol Dweck(1) has researched this subject and has found brilliant insights into the leverage areas that mark performance or failure. In her book, Mindset, she shows how children can be empowered or diminished by simply placing ‘fixed’ or ‘growth’ mindset thoughts in their minds prior to the study. These findings have since been used and proven in real school situations, turning poor
