If we scan the current horizon of the inner-cities for leaders in the field of education, we will find such notable names as Geoffrey Canada, Tim King, Dr. Steve Perry, Melissa Harris-Perry and a few others. There are also many individuals unknown who are making great advancements in changing the lives of students from adverse environments.
While we acknowledge the work of individuals, the question is how do we motivate the masses of the population to make education and the success of each child the top priority? If by all accounts and sound logic today's youth represent tomorrow's future, how do we ensure this future to be better? Collectively, as educators, parents, community leaders and concerned citizens we must pool our knowledge and resources to find viable answers soon, as success depends upon today's action.

I think the momentum is on the side of advancing third and fourth grade levels to dream big. Educators and organizations poised to make learning innovative and relevant to the kinds of impacts these young children desire to have on our future, are at the forefront positive change. When a child begins the journey to discover their purpose, nothing is more beneficial than the qualified guidance of those was a vested interest in their unique development.Education that truly connects children with their own unique purpose, at the earliest possible age, is becoming the NOW! Education that is not in the interest of accomplishing self actualization is unintelligible. Why would any educator, institution, or organization ignore such an obligation?

Bro. Shack I concur that any education that is not in the interest of accomplishing self actualization is unintelligible and is not a true education at all. i believe the reason its ignored is because the educators are trained to mold the outer and ignore the inner. They are the product of a system that wants cookie cutter managers and not innovative thinkers. This is where we come in. Sedrick your point is well taken in the fact that Americas biggest issues seem to stem from anti-social and moral decadent behavior, which produces an unbalanced society.

Gilbert, I agree on the anti- social, immoral, and decadent behavior tipping society in a most unfavorable direction. I don't know that everyone identifies the so called "problem" in the same way. Everywhere we turn, the "dumbing down" of society is pressing it's way through all aspects of life. Growing numbers of people are in a much more vulnerable position to be servants of those in possession of "knowledge". There seems to be an ongoing campaign accelerating the notion that certain classes of people are simply destined to serve. Because many of the messages appear to be harmless, their subtle influences come across as "fun" and "relaxing", however there are some very sinister implications to an individual being less aware. Sedrick, what's the distinction in community programming and the existing programming, which seems to have a stronghold on mass education? Leave a Reply. |
