Day 22 - We Got Schooled

Maybe this is an American reference - the phrase 'you got schooled'

Here's the definition from Urban Dictionary

Or put more elaborately by Noobtastic 

It's interesting because the slang cuts through the noise and gets right to how the people ACTUALLY communicate and see the world

So getting schooled means to be humiliated, taught a lesson the hard way

And this my friends is what the Rockefeller/Prussian Model School System did to all of us

Yet we are walking around, programmed by this very system to defend this system..

Thus, self forgiveness is necessary

I forgive myself that I had accepted and allowed myself to believe the school system is needed for society to function at its highest level

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize how the schooling system is designed to force children into indoctrinated thinking and behavior, for 8 hours a day for 12+ years of our lives creating us into obedient servants of the system

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to define myself according to my peer group I had established at school, prioritizing fitting in and 'getting good grades' over common sense self-development

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to realize that society has been run for centuries with the understanding that 1% understands how the system works, 4% are the managers of the system, and 95% are the cogs in the machine

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to resent the school system and thus limit myself and not actively create the solution

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to justify the school system because there are many well-meaning people inside the system, great teachers, people who truly mean well, YET its a systematic process designed to fit kids into a box for a world that no longer exists

I forgive myself that I had not accepted and allowed myself to understand the history of the schooling system and how the elite have benefitted from this system while the masses have struggled, thus all of us have not lived up to our potential

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to realize that there is a community of renegade educators with a comprehensive solution, ensuring every child can have an equally effective vocabulary and that this is the solution to the education system epidemic

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that the first 7 years of a child's life are when the key systems are laid down, and the primary influences in a child's life will have a lifelong impact on that child whether they are setup for success or not - YET - this can be changed with the right tools

When and as I notice myself see the schooling system - and have any thought except for 'we can solve this' - I will stop and I will breathe

I realize there is a group of individuals dedicated to solving this

I realize there are ways to ensure each child is a genius

I realize that education is the backbone of the world

I realize that as an adult I need to re-educate myself to be extremely effective

I commit myself to be part of the change of the education system

I commit myself to help parents create a game plan to effectively raise their children instead of just handing them off to the school system

I commit myself to show education can be life-giving instead of life-draining

I commit myself to help the re-education of humanity to create the best possible outcomes for all
