RE: Feeding the Forest – The Right Thing to Do for the Good of the Community

in #nicaragua7 years ago

I am also seeing a rise of homeschooling. I was not really a fan, but now I see the advantages, especially when most people are creating teaching groups, so the children still have the social sides. Things like forest schools and schools with extensive green programs are the best solution, and there are more of them popping up every day.

I don't believe we fully understand the political impact just yet, since this touches on who we are as human beings and what we are here to accomplish. I have tried hard to understand why someone would resist such things, and I think I get a part of the picture. It is not an easy problem to solve because there are so many varying opinions. In order to reach a new level of understanding, we need to find new ways to communicate with people who still do not understand how it would be possible to move out of fear-based scarcity models and into abundance.

I agree with you. At first I thought homeschooling was a terrible idea which would lead to socially inept kids. However through my travels I see the opposite. I see kids that speak multiple languages And are curious and who want to learn for fun. They're able to speak and socialise with a wide range of people and often have far more time to pursue creative endeavors because they don't need such a long time in school because there aren't 30 other kids to contend with. I like the teaching groups and feel this really helps to pool skills.

I completely agree!
