The Path Less Traveled

The Path Less Traveled

Do not hate those who follow the easy path in life. Those who disregard noble moral standards to get the desirable things they want. They will say they are being “realistic about how the world works”, but they are just weak people. They will normalize the lower standards they chose to follow and criticize you for not going along with them.
Do not give them your confidence. Do not give them admiration. Do not give them power. They do not deserve it. With power, they will destroy the world. They will cannibalize each other and they will destroy you in the process.

Do not hate them, but fight firmly against their world-view. Use the democratic process to convince those in charge of your economy to lead with high moral standards. Form labor unions. Create and enforce labor laws to protect workers. Make employers pay workers a living wage. Do not allow wage slavery to happen.


Keep civil discourse and persistently keep asking for people in power to make decisions that are compassionate and ethical. Do not stop asking. Do not stop campaigning for your needs. Keep trying to get your party members elected to office. Do not give up. If you give up and let weak people take control, they will not make decisions that are good for you. They will corrupt the system, cheat in elections and make laws that will enrich themselves while destroying communities. They will plunder treasuries that are created to benefit communities and they will refuse to pay taxes.

Thinking

                                                                                                      Feb 10, 2018 Thinking Oppressive, unscrupulous leaders may try to intimidate you into not thinking for yourself and speaking out against unfair practices. They cause bad things to happen to you if you try to stop people from cheating or hurting their neighbors for social gain. People who live in systems like that are cowed into not thinking about how their system is structured and speaking out to try to change it. Frequently, those same people take the goodies that are structured into the system to keep the population from asking questions. Weak people will trade freedoms for entertainment and not insist that they have quality lea...

Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother

I just finished the book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua. As a mother, I found it very insightful. While I think Ms. Chua was into extreme parenting, I do think she has a point about expecting the best of our children to show them how much they can achieve. I recommend every parent read this book. Several of her quotes are worth noting: On Teaching: "What Chinese parents understand is that nothing is fun until your good at it. To get good at anything you have to work, and children on their own never want to work, which is why it its crucial to override thier preference." "I am here to prepare them for the world, not be their friend." (I superimposed these two ideas onto what it means to be a teacher when I was at a recent interview for a teaching position.) "Tenacious practice, practice, practice is crucial for excellence; rote repetion is underrated in America." (I think she has a point. I wonder if that strategy plus memorizat...

The Problem Of School Dropouts

I read an article in the Phi Delta Kappan entitled Keeping Youths in School: An International Perspective . This article examines the vocational training strategies other countries use to help reduce the number of school dropouts. American tends to use vocational training as a way to entice unmotivated students into education. Whereas,other countries have a higher regard for vocational training and nationally respected licenses can be obtained in these programs. Employers trust these programs to prepare workers and the programs themselves are constructed to allow people to train for white-color jobs in their field. With its “college for all” mantra, the United States uses VET (career and technical training in the U.S.) mainly to engage unmotivated students and introduce them to various career options. This strategy makes the United States an outlier. In the more successful countries, VET has little to do with engaging unmotivated students, though that is one robust outcome, nor with ...
