I am working to translate and apply your advice to the context of early education (ages 0-12) in Nova Scotia. While the principles are universally applicable, the specifics naturally differ. Nevertheless, I deeply value your approach, focus, and ideals. My current focus is on promoting “ideologically neutral education”—avoiding solutions that simply swing the pendulum too far in the opposite direction.
My greatest challenge has been the lack of mechanisms for meaningful parental involvement in administrative decision-making. With the elimination of school boards, decisions are now dictated top-down without genuine transparency.
At this stage, my efforts are more conceptual, but I aim to apply pressure where it can effect the most positive change. That likely won’t be with teachers or principals, who are often “just following policy.” Instead, I plan to focus on accreditation agencies or legislative bodies that establish standards. Unfortunately, these entities often rely on “experts” to craft complex documents that start with predetermined conclusions and then justify them retroactively—like our so-called “inclusive” policies that, paradoxically, end up being exclusive.
Thank you again for your valuable insights and guidance.
I can't wait for the day that you go after the String Theorists who have hijacked the sciences within our universities.
Their "theories" in physics are no less deranged than the musings of the Identitarians.
We have an entire society believing in wormholes through time interconnecting multiple universes.
And it's now speculated that the only way Google's "quantum" computer is able to achieve the promised speeds is by crunching numbers simultaneously in multiple parallel universes.
Face it! The entire planet has gone mad.
My cat LugNut and I have come up with our own solution ... and are building a plywood rocket ship in my garage.
Thank you for all your hard work and insights.
