Schools that inspire children to learn dream or reality
Conscious Parenting Mindful Living Course for Parents - Nataša Pantović Nuit

Schools that inspire children to learn – dream or reality?

In contrast with ‘fast’ education that creates exam-oriented children, many alternative schools are experimenting with a more holistic approach that uses a mix of tools that develop children’s physical, emotional, and intellectual capacities.In contrast with ‘fast’ education that creates exam-oriented children, many alternative schools are experimenting with a more holistic approach that uses a mix of tools that develop children’s physical, emotional, and intellectual capacities.

One can safely assume that all parents have the same goal: that of choosing the best methods for their children to grow into inspired and enthusiastic adults. Helping children develop their highest potential, and taking care of each child’s development is a dream all parents share.

 

Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learnt in school- Albert Einstein

 

But unfortunately we are often forced to forget this dream, because of circumstances, lack of knowledge, lack of funds, social pressure to pass exams, or simply because our children are surrounded by teachers who are too tired or not very inspiring.

Albert Einstein’s famous quote, “Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learnt in school” leads us to reflect on the possible bottlenecks within the ‘traditional’ schooling system.

Ted Cruz as Beowulf: Matching Candidates With the Books They Sound Like
Around the World in 80 Days - Jules Verne
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer/Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - Mark Twain
Beowolf - Anonymous,Gummere
Oliver Twist - Charles Dickens
Persuasion: Large Print Edition - Jane Austen
The Aeneid - Virgil,Robert Fitzgerald

A New York Times article matches the speech patterns of 13(!) American presidential candidates with the books they sound like. There's a fascinating graphic that puts candidates and books on a sort of coordinate plane grid based on where their language use falls from simple to complex (y axis) and negative to positive (x axis).

 

Most negative? Rand Paul, who's surrounded by the Aeneid and Oliver Twist.

 

Most simple? Donald Trump (surprised?), who's next to The Legends of King Arthur and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

 

Hillary's on the positive and complex side of the plane, and most closely matches Austen's Persuasion (which isn't on the grid but is mentioned at the bottom of the article). Ted Cruz is matched with Beowulf.
