“Although our grammar schools are teaching a whole generation computer language to adjust to the technological needs of a Stage II [post survival-focused] society, we have neglected to teach this generation relationship language and conflict resolution skills to address the social and psychological needs of a Stage II society. And when it is taught, in countries like Germany, although called social competence it focuses on workplace teamwork - still on survival, breadwinner oriented work goals.” NeedsStillsCountryWholeSchoolLanguageSocialGoalTeachGenerationsTeachingStageTaughtSkillsConflictComputerSurvivalFocusedPsychologicalPostsGermanyAddressesResolutionTeamworkTechnologicalWorkplaceGrammarCompetenceNeglectedThis GenerationConflict ResolutionComputer LanguageGrammar SchoolBreadwinnerPsychological Needs Author:Warren Farrell
“I do think students in public school (and private) should be required to study the Bible.

“Children in home-school conflict situations often receive a double message from their parents: "The school is the hope for your future, listen, be good and learn" and "the school is your enemy. . . ." Children who receive the "school is the enemy" message often go after the enemy--act up, undermine the teacher, undermine the school program, or otherwise exercise their veto power.” ChildrenHomeSchoolParentSituationEnemyTeacherExerciseConflictMessagesProgramBe GoodMy ChildrenOur FutureYour FutureVeto Author:James P.

“There is no "scientific worldview" just as there is no uniform enterprise "science" - except in the minds of metaphysicians, school masters, and scientists blinded by the achievements of their own particular niche... There is no objective principle that could direct us away from the supermarket "religion" or the supermarket "art" toward the more modern, and much more expensive supermarket "science." Besides, the search for such guidance would be in conflict with the idea of individual responsibility which allegedly is an important ingredient of a "rational" or scientific age.” MindArtImportantIdeasWould BeAgeSchoolIndividualResponsibilityPrinciplesModernParticularMastersConflictAchievementDirectScientistObjectivesRationalGuidanceExpensiveEnterpriseIngredientsUniformsWorldviewNicheBlindedSupermarketsIndividual Responsibility Author:Paul Feyerabend
“Our teaching of mathematics revolves around a fundamental conflict. Rightly or wrongly, students are required to master a series of mathematical concepts and techniques, and anything that might divert them from doing so is deemed unnecessary. Putting mathematics into its cultural context, explaining what is has done for humanity, telling the story of its historical development, or pointing out the wealth of unsolved problems or even the existence of topics that do not make it into school textbooks leaves less time to prepare for the exam. So most of these things aren't discussed.” DoneStoriesProblemMightSchoolHumanityWealthExistenceEducationTeachingStudentsMastersDevelopmentConflictConceptsMathematicsFundamentalsHistoricalSeriesMathTechniqueMathematicalUnnecessaryTopicsPointingExplainingTextbooksExamUnsolved Problems Author:Ian Stewart
“...instead of giving a rifle to somebody, build a school; instead of giving a rifle, build a community with adequate services. Instead of giving a rifle, develop an educational system that is not about conflict and violence, but one that promotes respect for values, for life, and respect for one's elders. This requires a huge investment. Yet if we can invest in a different vision of peaceful coexistence, I think we can change the world, because every problem has a nonviolent answer.” IfsThinkingWorldGivingDifferentProblemSchoolValuesCommunityAnswersVisionViolenceHugeConflictInvestmentEducationalPeacefulChanging The WorldAdequateEldersRiflesEducational SystemCoexistencePeaceful Coexistence Author:Rigoberta Menchu

“I kind of came from the Townes Van Zandt school of throwing yourself off a cliff and then that's what you write about, and that rule number one of creative writing is you have to have conflict. But if you write about yourself mostly, then if you don't have conflict, then you create it. And the older I get, the more I realize that that's not a very smart way to do this. Not to say I'm the most self destructive person on earth, but it's easy to do.” IfsWayWritingKindPersonsSelfSchoolEarthEasyRealizingNumbersCreativeConflictSmartDestructiveAbout YourselfThrowingCreative WritingVansCliffsSelf DestructiveVery SmartSelf Destruct Author:John Fullbright
