Educate Or Eradicate

EDUCATE OR ERADICATE?

A child's education turns out to be cruel 
If they only learn about sex education., and not life coping rules 
And ultimately, my angel, it's the children that will pay 
Because nine months later, a new life is on its way

Education can be a gift, and some of it will have a great purpose 
But, it's useless when they have to figure out how to hire a wet nurse 
Help children know more, show them how much more they can dream 
Of a much greater future, let them know what that means

Demand now that high schools implement more life strategies 
Children can't learn something different if it's only the diapers they'll see 
Children won't get to have a mind until they are taught how it can expand 
If you don't know, then learn together, think twice and take command

Change the patterns that keep on growing in each generation 
The technology we have today can help us unite our nation 
Children don't need to walk the roads, that you all walked down before 
They are autonomous, give them back their mind, and you'll see so much more

It is up to you, my angel if you let society make you cower 
Get control of your mind right now, because a child is like a flower 
They will grow if you give them love, knowledge and feel the sun 
Or they will wither and die in the darkness, paying for their mistakes alone

We often hear from people that education failed them. That’s because our industrial age models of learning don’t prepare us for our rapidly changing world. Nor do they teach us the things we need to be extraordinarily happy, free, healthy, and fulfilled.

Prepare your child mindfully and they will EMPOWER themselves in ways we couldn't as children.  A child will learn more if you give them their mind to explore.  Help them THINK ABOUT THINKING, UNDERSTAND THEIR EMOTIONS ARE IN THEIR CONTROL.  Help them learn ways of communicating, ways that we were never taught, and you will give them riches beyond the material....riches OF THE SOUL

Help them THINK about THINKING and they will grow EMPOWERED.

They do not need to walk our roads, know our path.  Help them make theirs and you will see more through their eyes

Very much a description of modern indifference to the reality of life.

Thank you Angel I appreciate your review. yes it definitely is a new twist on the modern way of schooling. And maybe one day the programs I have I will share with the schools and they will implement this new way of thinking ?? so that when their of our children will never repeat generational patterns.
