Holistic Education - The
                    Native American Model
                    Native America - As Americans
                    become increasingly aware of the
                    failures of traditional education
                    and traditional schools in meeting
                    the needs of a growing number of
                    young people, there has been an
                    explosion of alternative models in
                    education. One, which is only
                    recently gaining some attention, is
                    the traditional Native American
                    approach. Far from the rigid,
                    sit-in-a-row, memorize-by-rote
                    & don't think approach of
                    traditional schools, the traditional
                    Native American approach is
                    holistic and based on the
                    concepts of inquiry and intuition.
                    Today it would be called a
                    right-brain approach to
                    education.

Knowing the truth shall set you free, and indeed, knowing that fact that truth can change according to viewpoint sets your freedom of learning aflight.

SCHOOLS?
The Star Art of SCHOOLS?
It is simply this ... HOO ... SCHOOLS SO LOCOS.
COOL SCHOOLS, SO LOCOS.
LOCOS SO COOL
I  SHOO SCHOOL
I SHOO LOCOS

So I learn.

Others share knowledge, I learn from them, I learn on my own, with help as I wish it.
It does not take 12 years to make an intelligent young man or woman.
It does take 12 years to dumb them down to corporate wage slave mentality.
Natural intuitions are quashed, personalities made into psychotic molds of
ego gone amuck, competition instilled as the profit ticket creating ungodly behavior  ... Mother Nature be damned, we need that footall field full of pesticided grass, not an organic garden where we can be in touch with Mother Earth's life processes, and so too our own.  The 'schools' and their 'administrators' don't tell you this, but they know it to be true.  But, their training and need for money prevents them from acknowledging it in public forum, otherwise, they think they would be out of a job, and yet ... that very job loss is what will give them the courage to break free of the molds of corporate education.

America is changing the way we share knowledge with the children and adults alike.
Learning centers are created to share knowledge in creative ways, with learners learning of their own free will.  From this, genius blossoms, ego's fall away in shame as a sham, and heart lights shine with Love, easily and in peace.  Inspirational learning becomes rampant.

Speaking of which ... can you name any Learning Center which proposes to share knowledge in a way that inspires the peaceful capabilities of the students learning?

Educators Looking At "Light Factor" In Learning Abilities

                USA - Educators have always understood that environment is a key factor in
                learning. In fact, those who originally pushed for windowless class rooms
                thought that this would be a positive move in creating the proper learning
                environment by cutting down on day dreaming. What they didn't understand at
                the time was the effect of florescent lighting on mood, behavior, health and
                learning ability.

"Malillumination" is the term coined by pioneer light researcher, Dr. John
                Ott, to describe sunlight deficiency and the negative, harmful effects of
                artificial pink or cool-white fluorescent lighting on behavior, learning,
                health, hardiness and longevity.

Dear Friends of Learning,

This letter is to invite you and your homeschool support group, learning
circle, book club,  multi-issue learning co-op, or other non-school
collaborative learning group, to Join in a discussion and action programs
to DO SOMETHING to deschool society and create a world of learning
communities.

 OA Coalition for self-learning¹ is an ad hoc group of individuals and
organizations that has been coming together on the Internet for three years
to discuss WHY we learn, HOW we learn, WHEN we learn, and WHAT we learn.
We have tend to think outside the school/teach/educate box, and to go beyond³
fixing the schools.²  We have recognized that the way we learn shapes, as
it is shaped by, the society in which we live.

With Paulo Friere, we are concerned that the current school systems
remove young people from their families, communities, society, and nature
to prepare them only for jobs in the corporate/factory/industrial world.  With
John Holt we have recognized that we are ³learning all the time.²  With
Ivan Illich we have explored ³Deschooling Society.²  With Peter Drucker and
Elise Boulding we have noted that the future requires life-long learning.
With Margaret Mead we have seen that learning in the home and community
can provide a superior education to a bureaucratic school system.

Following these and other progressive thinkers we have accepted the mantra
of ³envisioning a world without schools -- creating a world of learning
communities.²

 Whether we talk about self learning, learning circles, unschooling,
deschooling, charter schools, vouchers, or homeschooling, we all seem in
accord on these points:
€   Everyone has the right to decide what s/he wants to learn and have the
opportnity to learn it, when they want, and how they want.
€   Society and parents must recognize this right and provide young
people with the opportunity to learn what they want in the time and
mode they choose.
€   Forcing adult-designed, teachers-designed or government-designed
programs on all young people is not an efficient or democratic way to
prepare them to be productive members of a democratic society.
€   Many young people and parents are looking for ways to get out of the
public or academic school-boxes now imposed on people by the
established institutions.
€   We need a radically different learning system as the foundation
for the emerging radically different society.
€   All of us who agree on these points want to join forces to move ahead.

As the Coalition discussed these concepts on the Internet in 1999, one
member in Japan suggested that we write a book. Another member in Denmark
offered to put individual chapters on his web page.  Thirty different
members offered to submit chapters for discussion by the whole group.  A
member in Vermont agreed to edit and publish a final version.  In August
2000  ³Creating Learning Communities was published.²  It attracted many new
members who initiated programs to go beyond the book and to take actions
to help create learning communities.

During 2001 the vastly expanded Coalition developed a ³Guidebook and
Directory of Consultants for Creating Learning Communities.²
The Guidebook, released November 2001, defines Olearning Communities¹ in
three modes: communities that learn, communities that provide learning
opportunities, and communities of learners.  It lists over 75 individuals
and organizations that help groups of families who want to establish
local learning centers, resources or services.  The Guidebook, like
³Creating Learning Communities,² is being sold by many members of the
Coalition to finance further assistance to community groups working to take
charge of their own life-long learning.
(The book for $21.95, the Guidebook for $4.00.)

During 2002 the coalition initiated the 'Learning Cooperatives Quarterly'
that can be downloaded from its webpage.

During (2003) we are working on a project and a booklet, ³Financing
Learning Communities.²
This project has two goals:
1) to help the press, foundations, and others to understand the reasons for
the rapid growth of this movement, and it importance to the future of
society, and
2) to help embryonic learning communities find the financing to take their
different projects to new phases of development.

There are many other actions we may take on in the future. The new Learning
Communities need a newsletter to network those doing it. Vol.1No.1 has been
printed.   We could develop a guidebook for libraries to help them meet the
needs of autodidacts, self-learners, homelearners, and others wanting to
develop their skills and knowledge on their own. We might add ³New
Chapters² to the online version of our book.  We could establish a fund to help local
groups get started with their own non-school learning programs.  The
possibilities are as broad and interesting as your imagination.  You can
choose or create your own project to help create learning communities.

This letter is to invite your participation.  If it interests you you can

The following quote regarding SERENITY is from this source :

Torchbearers of the Golden Age of Light
Channeled from Saint Germain by Jill Marie
http://www.serenityvibrationhealing.com/

"Choosing serenity, as a reality within the illusion of this and all life experience, is a valuable Key to remembering the pathway back to a place you have never left, Divine Oneness. It is a mastery choice."

DRUGGED CHILDREN DEPT.
Now this article represents the epitome of stupidity. Not only are kids
being over-diagnosed for attention deficit hyperactive disorder but now in
England they will not be allowed to attend school unless they are drugged.
The educational systems available to our children are ludicrous. How about
making the materials more interesting or the presentation more stimulating
so that kids are not bored out of their minds? But no, our educators can
only think of sedating the children so that their minds readily accept the
boredom without objection. We enter this life genetically encoded with
certain interests, abilities, and purposes... Until we create an environment
that supports, enhances, and promotes these qualities we will continue to
swallow the pills of ignorance.

"Schools are threatening to expel hyperactive children who do not take the
controversial drug Ritalin."
