Our #education is withering. The majority of those in charge of education and #teachers consider computer skills to be more important than the ability to express complex thoughts in #writing.
Furthermore, #schools are not rising to the challenge of #upbringing #children.
As a result, we as a society are leaving the #value education of (many) children and young people to the media and the economy, whose interests are based on money and who use the means of manipulation.

This thread reminds me of that other one in which Randahl Fink @randahl bemoaned #upbringing and #dangerousMindset to pass on to future generations but in the opposite context, and *mostly* (but not completely) missed the mark ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/112583747794692769

A quotation from James, P. D.:
«
I don’t think he had known much demonstrative love in his childhood and what a child doesn’t receive he can seldom later give.

when you come into a conversation, instead of attacking people or typing insults, you can read the conversation and try to understand basic english or context before attacking people.
and then type something reasonable so people can understand your viewpoint whether you are speaking for or against what they said.

_The Evening Post_, 16 Dec 1922:
TOPICS OF THE DAY
(By M.H.C.)
Some remarks made at a recent presentation to a young girl, whose readiness, presence of mind, and skill in swimming saved a life, are worthy of consideration. Praise was given because her mind and muscle were both in order so that she was able to accomplish a great act. While giving every credit to the fine girl, it must be remembered that she must have been well brought up, both at home and at school, to be ready for such an emergency. It is a surprising thing that even in these new century days that there are women to be found whose sole contribution to an emergency is to scream…
… it is to be hoped that the “new girls” coming along as women to be will be on the fine lines of the lifesaver, and not on those of the screamer.…

Feeling philosophical today: I guess this begs the question why do some people choose to do good while others choose to do bad? #Upbringing? #Genetics? #EconomicInequity? #Circumstances? #Sociopath? #Psychopath?
If you could teach a child only ONE thing, what would it be? Please just shoot!
What's the best way to instill a contributing sentiment in a child?
Your thoughts will be appreciated.

#Study: Religious children believe fantasy
A new study contends that #children with religious #upbringing are more likely to believe fantastical #stories.
#Kids with a #religious background are less able to distinguish between #fantasy and #reality compared with their secular #counterparts.
