This is why I fought with teachers and professors so much in school.
I didn't totally understand all the reasons why but my gut just kept pushing me.
Unfortunately most of us don’t do anything because we believe the story we tell ourselves that the problems are too big to do anything about.
Change must start somewhere, and it only starts with one person or one family.
I will be teaching my kids the first list while advocating where I can that schools should be teaching it.
I am afraid that until the money is fixed and taken out of the governments hands then they will endlessly print stealing our time and energy to fund the learning of list 2.
Why do we keep doing the same thing and expect a different result?
We know the current system is broken yet no one does anything to change it?
We aren’t the first people to ever think about this so it leads to the only obvious question….
Is that stupidity or an agenda?
Stay strong,
