A confronting question ive been asking myself lately…

what if the primary problem with America is its people?

Good intentions aside, what if their self indulgence and lack of understanding into the diligence and personal responsibility required to maintain freedom and sovereignty is a greater threat to them than their politicians?

One difference between Chinese schools and American schools is the attitude to competition.

Chinese schools maximize competition, gameify difficult subjects, and reward the winners.

American schools go to extremes to avoid competition.

I learned how to teach in China. I was recently investigating becoming a teacher in the US, and did interviews mainly to learn their expectations. They did NOT like me. I said very inconvenient things...

I told them why autism is rising and how to mitigate it with architectural design. I told them how to raise math scores. I told them why childrens' vocabularies are smaller now than in the past, and how to fix it. I told them they should prioritize coding and design, and gave them a plan, even though I'm not a coder.

America cannot compete while schools are failing. And schools will only continue to fail while the teaching philosophy taught in teachers' training is so wildly wrong.

And the solutions can't come from within the education system. The solutions don't exist there.

GM this is going to be a rough but good day. Good luck out there today everyone have a blessed day

Very cool! Have been wanting to experiment with some living willow structures

I just bought these slippers because they seem like they're really high quality.

I hope to go on my own journey of tanning my own sheepskins this year and want to turn them into a product that can be composted/eaten by BSFL after their life is over.

I will use hemp waxes twine and either cork or natural rubber or both for the sole. Likely I will use pig brain for the tanning material.
