How the education system was built for factory workers, not soul-led innovators, and why Pluto in Aquarius is about to burn it all down (thank the stars).
Great, inspiring post. I live in a poor community. I don’t want my grandchild to be trained to take a state exam to add a percentage point to his name. He’s capable of so much more than one standardized test.
Yes. This is exactly it. Our children - and grandchildren - are not statistics. They’re souls, creators, thinkers, dreamers. I’m so grateful you shared this. He is capable of so much more, and he deserves an education that sees that. We’re dreaming a better system into being, one child at a time.
I was going through your older posts and found this.
This sentence literally made me laugh out loud: “We’re not in the Age of “Shut Up and Color” anymore.”
The education system has bothered me for a long time. My son functions fairly well in the traditional school but I know he would THRIVE if allowed to explore on his own terms. The traditional schools have never felt right to me for him.
I am fortunate to have gone to a Waldorf school and I know that “alternative“ approach shaped my oddness.
Haha shut up and color. I take no credit for that one - I vividly remember writing this piece and whichever force was flowing through me that day was adamant about that wording. We are going to see a whole new system of education emerge in the next 50 years - completely unlike the one we were brought up in. There are hints of it here already, more prominent in some parts of the world than others, but in the years to come, the way we raise our kids, what we teach them, how we school them, and how we prepare them for the world is going to totally change, along with the world itself. What a time to be alive!!! Thanks for reading and understanding. xx

I want to start a school/unschool :).
I’m so glad you wrote this.
