Why do we place children in a box, a
school room and teach them through pictures? All the while the real
object, moving and being the very nature of the form, is directly
outside the window of the school room, living in all its glory as
that real tree?
I have seen word graphs, obstensively
to teach and enable the retention of the meaning of a word. Somehow
this is in reverse, because that association building creates all
manner of imagery to sort through, from all the picture training,
within the meaning of that object as that sound formation as that
word.
Would it not make more sense to watch a
tree, a real tree and build graphs that map the parts of that tree?
Why do we send our children into a room to create all manner of
thinking processes that have no direct association to practical
physical reality?
If the catch phrase that I hear so
often, as people telling me they are ADHD, do we not realize that the
very model and manner in what we are doing is the overall cause of
our lack of ability to attend to reality, is because we are all in
our minds playing a glass bead game of association building, causing
a bubble of separation from direct seeing, as we are separate from
reality because of a train of associations moving as pictures in our
minds, instead of looking directly here, at reality, where we live?
This dis-association is also manifest
in what I heard so many teachers say when I was in the school
setting, and was said to me by an adult the other day as they learned
about me and what my credentials were. The word talent came up. This
use of this word is a dis-associative movement from reality, because
in saying someone is talented, no recognition with reality is made.
Humans learn through repetition, one must walk understanding
physically, interacting with reality, with building awareness of how
one moves and functions here. This then leads to competence, to
capacity, step by step, repetition by repetition, until awareness
builds of the space and the movement, and one becoming equal to that
to the point where one can then become creative, the critical
details, being integrated and then, as the neuron development
reveals, paired back as understanding is constructed and refined into
simpler movements as connection, so that the whole and the parts are
able to spatially be used to direct oneself. It is as though one is
building awareness, building the inner integrative map of the
qualities of what one endeavors to accomplish. Thus, talent has
nothing to do with development. Yes, interest in something can be
innate, but as well, this is not to be confused with interest because
one has developed some ability having walked the process of becoming
aware of something- mostly due to exposure, such as having a parent
that directed a child into something having built understanding
themselves.
If a teacher stands in a doorway, in a
school and says things like, “ she has talent” and another child
hears this, then that child feels insecure, because the very use of
this word does not tell the real story. This insubstantiates that
child. What this really is, is that teacher creating a justification
for not having been disciplined enough to walk a process of
development, thus in this such a statement is the admission of
ignorance. No other way to say this in a so-called nice way, because
a cup is a cup. The only solution is to realize this and stop, but
first it must be pointed out.
In the social instance, where a woman
said this to me, I realized she said this as a distraction, because
she was overall overwhelmed with what I was saying and looked to some
marker of understanding as the limited spatial awareness of reality
that was her as belief allowed some catch basin to place me in that
fit her limitation. The mind of limited belief will not want to slow
down and reform, it has to do this slowly. And one will defend habits
because they are racing so fast, as the statement “ she is so
talented” is a testament of and as. So, we come full circle.
And yet, we have books about
neurological development, that make it clear that exposure to form,
builds neuro pathways, as the mind takes in what is presented to it.
Interaction and repetition will build more neuro pathways, and then
as the practice acclimates physically, like we are programmed as the
measure of our exposure ( think of religion and culture), the
neurons pair back in a movement much like a computer, taking
processes and “ zip” filing them as one expedites actions learned
into smaller forms of information. This is what happens when we learn
to drive a car.
If our science understands this
process, and we have children coming from all manner of backgrounds
of exposure and development, and we place this all into one room in a
school, and we teach to associate rather then to see directly, what
are we actually building as that inner developmental map building in
our children? And can one teacher, or a room with a couple of aids,
possibly do this in clear ways with those children? Would this not
be a slowing down of this innate ability? Are our children that
appear to do well, are they really doing well? Or, are we so immersed
in the forest of this overall very limited format that we no longer
realize the overall limitation we are within as this? I mean, we have
many saying that humans are using only 10 percent of their overall
capacity. So, there are those who are aware that what we are doing is
actually limiting more than expanding our own awareness. In reality,
the solutions are right in front of us, just as that tree is right
outside that window.
Words are the perfect structures, they
are the perfect pictures, they are the perfect sounds, they are
auditory, they are visual, they are structural, they employ all the
sense, they build a nice ordered structure within the child. They can
be “ zipped filed”, meaning they can as sound forms, be made
smaller and ordered, so that a detailed inner directive map can be
built that sees the objects of physical reality clearly, to allow
qualities to be brought forward, which is the act of critically
thinking, critically organizing and evaluating, to then deconstruct
with the parts there, to rearrange and thus create, a perfect mind,
that is clearly organized. What kind of human would such build? A
person who could direct themselves, answer and ask questions, solve
problems and stand in certainty, meaning a person with great self
esteem and understanding of what it means to learn, realizing their
innate capacity to order and thus live life to the fullest. Is this
not what we want for our children?
I reach out to those parents who
understand this, because many of us do, once we have lived some life,
we begin to understand that this is what we would have wanted. And,
we understand that our children are our greatest assets, and
thus, that if we take the time to ensure their development is what
enables their utmost potential, then our lives as their parents will
be secure, and they will be thankful, just as we would have wanted
for ourselves.
Techno Tutor, the tool to organize a
world of dis-order, bringing us back to a sound mind, one that can
see that tree outside the window and understand with joy, how it is
the very expression of life and how self empowering it is to be able
to build that understanding ourselves in practical understandable
ways.
