The educational systems of the world have heretofore failed to ideally empower the citizens of this planet. The first step in improving education is to create a new sketch of the way it could be revised for the optimal. What follows is just such a sketch. Most of the texts needed to flesh out this program appear in the Recommended Reading List of this website. Language, math, science and the humanities, taught accurately, efficiently, and systematically, provide the foundation of optimizing our capability. Additional class periods can be added for physical activity like sports and fitness, as well as a rotating period for art, music, inventions, challenges, and library time. The purpose of this page is to spark debate on a better approach. What do you think? Shall we merely educate, or fully empower our children?
Empowerment alone can bring us to the paradise we explore more fully in the Technology section of this website.
Let the empowerment begin!
