School and Home School


 Oh my. I don't have time to write this. So it will be as follows:
 
1. What is school for? I think that Seth has a good grasp on this at the bottom, see [1]

2. There's an ongoing debate about homeschooling vs. public schooling.

3. I agree with most things about home schooling. Which is why I take the view that my kids are home schooled 5 days a week, from 3pm to 9pm, on the weekends, and all of their vacation time.

4. Home schooling should feel like art, it's enjoyable (largely), so don't worry about overloading the tone of "school" in it.

5. Everyone's situation is different: (a) Some of us have checks coming to us from the government that give us all day to do as we please. (b) Some of us have to work long hours every day to survive. (c) Some of us have a spouse that gives us all day to do with as we please. (d) Some of us are the spouse that gives the other all day to do as they please. etc.

6. Thus, our ideals aren't applicable to everyone.

7. Those who can lead their ideal life of home schooling, the ones that I know anyhow, are quite idealistic. They'd like to dismantle the current school system, entirely if they could.

8. QUESTION: Is it easier, as a long term goal for improvement of education to get involved into the school system, at the risk of sounding redundant where there's already a system in place? Or is it more beneficial to exit it entirely and start your own whole new method? - Keep in mind the multitude of gears that are interconnected in society with school, mostly parents work schedule in relation to school. You'd have to redesign all of that for a whole new system. All the office jobs downtown, the night shift workers, etc. etc.

Side note, getting involved in school may mean doing something uncomfortable. Staying home provides lots of comfort.

Synchronicity & The Law of Attraction

" T he Secret teaches us that we create our lives, with every thought every minute of every day. Living The Secret offers tools and ideas to help you live The Secret and create the life of your dreams." - "As The Secret has swept the world and touched millions of lives, we have received so many stories of lives being transformed into joy." -The Secret W e shouldn't underestimate the power of synchronicity. "Synchronicity" is usually thought to be the opposite of "coincidence." Coincidental events seem to have no rhyme or reason. But, The Secret proposes that by consciously applying the Law of Attraction you can change every aspect of your life. Synchronizations seem to be perfectly orchestrated to arrive at exactly the time we need them, as if by divine order . Perhaps you can remember a few events or experiences that where too "trippy" to write off as mere coincidence. For example, instances where you were thinking of a certai

Does Art Necessitate Mental Unrest?

Music alone is not enough And being a film director is too much It's usually the case that there's nothing that I want to say badly enough to put myself through the labor. There was a time when I really wanted to say something, and I did. But, mental well being, in a way, quells the desire to express myself through art. Something about art has been about me not being seen enough, good enough, or just enough period. Feeling like enough kills the drive to express yourself in what David Bowie once called "such rarefied terms". I still make music, I still record music, almost never finish it, and share it with others even less. There's more to me than being a musician. I do have a love for it, but I need more. I always hated math, I've grown curious about it, and have gotten substantially better. The pandemic compelled me to become a roof salesman and to get my insurance adjusters license. I still laugh at that, but nothing is wasted. Transferable knowledge is tak
