The Window is Closing on College Applications for September. Those really up on it started the application process in October of the senior year. For those who did not, it is time now. For those who did, it is time now to apply for scholarships. Most scholarships will want to see the parents’ tax return, and so today is the day to start (assuming your tax return was filed on time.)

Is college important? Certain credentials are important in the world of work. Others are not. Choose carefully. For those many students who just do not know their calling, I do have a Destiny Discovery seminar, intended for juniors in Christian high schools, but that could be administered to an individual. See www.info@orgstrat.net It is a whole lot cheap to pay for help in hearing reasonable vocational plan than sending a student to college only to have changes in majors, and thus wasted time and money. Good advising also helps. The journey thru the credentials can be made faster and more secure; and college “advisors” sometime don’t advise at all, and even in colleges where they might, they are not primarily focused on the same things that the student or parents would focus on: quick, frugal, and remunerative passage thru school

Isn’t college just silly? More of less and less? Just ideological indoctrination. No, not unless you want it to be. Every course have information about it, as does every professor. Choose the school for its philosophy and choose the course of study — and choose individual classes and sections that will help the most. In Texas every course must have a summarized syllabus within one click of the college homepage. Every accredited school will have a course catalog. What you get depends upon what you choose.

There are colleges that specialize in every flavor of Christianity (altho nearly every one is more liberal than the grandparent generation of the same denomination.) There are colleges that specialize in conservative political views. There are colleges that are free (usually to residents of the state and/or for some work.) Every college has some scholarships and work/study arrangement. There are libraries of scholarships at every school. Do your own research — or pay someone who already has.

Homeschoolers are probably thinking about curricular choices now, even if they don’t buy until the summer. People should definitely be checking out private schools now, if that is the route they want to go. www.powerlearningcenters. If you are a homeschool grandmother, sad that your teaching days are over — contact me, but first, take a look at www.teachachildchangeanation.org

Contact me for help to start a school. I will help you start a micro-school.  Maybe you need just a conversation for encouragement. Maybe you need a short course. Most want a map and some hand holding for a year, along with some sample documents for parent and employee policies.

Also see www.teachachildchangeanation.org  for more information about a micro-school and for a course in how to start a licensed childcare facility — yes, in any state.

The first lessons help you discover if your building is sufficient and tell you how to sell this to your church congregation, if that is necessary. If your building is not sufficient and you want to cancel the course, you can.

There are ways to have smaller schools in your own home. Much less restrictions for elementary school.

If you are a graduate from homeschooling your children or grandchildren, you may be the ideal person to start a micro-school or pod. If you have taught in the government system and are a certified teacher, please do not sally forth, thinking  you can start a school. You have been trained in foolishness, in invidious expectations, and do not necessarily have any expertise in business or management. Please spend at least 3 years in getting a better education about children and civics and education.

Contrary to the false charity folks (read deceptive communist controllists) we OVERCOME  — or solve problems. So, yes, some student exhibit test anxiety. Better to overcome test anxiety than to spin the yarn that this in a disability that can not be helped and therefore the student should not be expected to learn Math. Good way to induce a problem, and then cement it, and then cause a ruined life and worse off society. No, these problems can be solved — one way or another. If there is a will.

Of course, yes, some of the solution might cause adults to work, or conversely, not get paid quite so much for not working. Still, let’s solve the problem.

Keying off a post on X.com that sparked a big controversy about ideological indoctrination in colleges and universities, I teach you how to handle controversies in class as a college student. I also expose the trickery in this particular post and how the controversy got sparked. I even give you some tips about how to be effective in the controversy about sexualization and leftist indoctrination in college.Charlie Kirk was effective because he was truthful and knowlegable.

NOTICE AND AVOID DISTRACTION THAT DETRACTS FROM YOUR LIFE

Some people want to make hay by … spin. Other want to pick our pockets or worse while distracting us by getting us to fight with each other. Find out how to avoid this.

So, the incident a couple of weeks ago claimed that a student was kicked out of class for refusing to go along with sexual indoctrination. Actually what the video showed was the professor agreeing to let the student leave, after the student makes some outrageously ignorant comments. She was not kicked out. We don’t have enough of the video to actually know the professor was up to.  What we do hear is not adept, but without context we can not judge that she was indoctrinating the student. Maybe she was, but everyone in the story handled themselves badly.

HERE IS HOW TO PROCEED IN A MORE EFFECTIVE MANNER

Here is how to do better.

Controversy is a must as a subject in college. It is a must because one will face societal controversies when one graduates and becomes a professional. Perhaps that is what the university president meant to say. We don’t know. What we know are a very few words, again, taken out of context. Not a good look.

Just like the student didn’t seem to know the rules of the game of college classroom, so the politician didn’t seem to know the rules of the game about college administration. The college president has no control, or shouldn’t, over the teaching in the classroom.  We already had ongoing controversies about academic freedom and tenure. The politician who started this might indeed know the game of political “gotcha” with regard to media. That is not how we want to controvert issues, not how we want to be lead, and certainly not the kind of character we want to govern.

Let’s get into it.
