This site is not designed to replace schools or teachers.
Most schools and teachers do a wonderful job with what they have available and what they are assigned to do. The reality
is that some of the issues affecting schools have nothing to do with the schools or the teachers and can't be fixed by
the schools, teachers or even politicians. This site is designed to help families who already understand that concept
and are creating their own great futures. Even if that ends up just a few families, then it will still have been a success.
Everything
on this site is from spending over ten thousand hours working one on one with students and their families to see which strategies
work and which ones aren't as effective. Anyone is welcome to take advantage of the information on this site. However,
please remember that in today's world, there are no guarantees. Everyone's situation is different and all individuals
make their own choices. Reality is that education is an individual journey and everyone's journey is different.
Families choose their own values and priorities. Thank you ahead of time for tolerating my imperfections. Learning
from our missteps is simply part of the journey.
Solutions should be designed and implemented with that in mind. Several of the solutions
on this site may only work for a small group of people. They might not work for everybody because each individual's situation
is different and each family has their own priorities about what skills they think are important to learn.
In order to reduce clutter, minimize potential conflict of interest
and prioritize the needs of the caring people visiting it, the site doesn't have ads, tracking or the like. Keeping
my independence has let me focus on using my time and resources in a way
that matters for myself and my students. Many of my students have been very successful at growing their skills. Colleges
have chosen to be phenomenally expensive; a lot of people overpay. Once they have, it is usually too late to get their money
back.
Note:
Just to reiterate, this site can not replace schools or teachers. It's focus is to help people who care about
the future succeed at solving the problems that free us from being dependent on the unkind or uncaring. It is updated every
few months with stuff that has impacted my students and their families. (Or, just some wacky experiences you wouldn't
want to have happen to you.) This site does not need to be popular to be effective. If it helps even a few families
build themselves a better future, then it has been successful. May you have an awesome future!!!
