Thomas Scheff and David Rosenhans, among other sociologists and psychologists, have explained to us how labeling hurts people. People tend to live down to the labels they are given. Nowhere is this more true than among children who are labeled “stupid” or “bad” in school when they are young.

I explain the science just a little, give you some stories of children that I have seen, and give you a great technique that overcomes labeling.

Following our discussion of “learning disabilities” are — and are not , I continue giving you my read on what happens with “learning disabilities” in private schools and in homeschooling. I try to give you a peek into what it is like in the student’s mind. For this, see an old film called “How Difficult Can it Be?’ from F.A.T. City — widely available, link below. Then I also give you my best tips.

LABELING

Diagnoses, because of the dynamics of labeling can be really deadly.  They are often resisted because parents see them as death knells. They should be used as guidance to the educators. We have given you some idea of the process in public schools. Private purchases can get higher quality, but still there is often a gap of understanding. The best tests come out in reports that need to be translated into educational plans, and then those plans need to be followed. Perhaps refined.

Private schooling can avoid labels, give hope & motivation — and sometimes give individualized help. Homeschooling has the superior advantage of truly individualized programming. A child can be taught in the way she or he best learns. These students can be advanced dramatically in their areas of strength and still have time to catch up skills in another area. Stigma, labeling, and time pressure is eliminated. Often it is ideal, IF the mother/father/ or hired tutor has the vision, creativity and motivation to help the student excel.

PLAN OF ACTION

Use strengths to overcome weaknesses. Notice, what are called “disabilities” often are only weaknesses. These children CAN learn. Remediate weaknesses, but not to the point of failing to build up strengths. And be sure the child has a decent life!. Do not accept negative prophecies, but realize that not all students must be scholars. They do, however all need to be literate, get through school, and be able to choose a career.

This can be done. Faith for this is the first step. Then, there needs to be practical, innovative ideas. It is all of a piece. This broadcast is the only one that brings those two vital components together. And even as innocuous as this is, I have been suppressed. Therefore, please share with those who are interested!

Wow, can we get a slow news day? What a turmoil! Jesus knew. Jesus told us. And His words prevail: “Let not your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me.”

This year the celebrations of Passover, Resurrection Sunday, and Ramadan come together. This year, so much is happening and so much is being revealed. It is hard not to be troubled. It is imperative not to be complacent. How do we go forward? According to the Word of the Lord, we net our hearts not be troubled by believing in Him, by looking to Him, by repeating his Word.

In this episode, I go thru a number of Scriptures, touch on the times, and bring it back to 4 simple things to do to keep a peaceful, victorious life. No question. It will change your life. It will enrich the life and learning capacity of your child.

Please communicate with me. We discovered a huge batch of emails went to z-space. Apologies. I do want to hear from you.

Ultimate Secret to Day of Trouble

Leave a reply

In a 3 part series, we have been gathering the secrets to success from an ancient situation. King Hezekiah faced an onslaught by the ruthless emperor Sennacharib, and his lying captain Rabshakeh. He appeals to the LORD, both directly and through the prophet isaiah. This situation is recorded 3 times in the Bible. Today, we look at Isaiah’s memory. The good news is that the Lord intervened on behalf of his people; one angel overcame 185,000 men in one night.  Here is the ultimate secret to the day of trouble.

No doubt we too have a day of trouble, rebuke and blasphemy. The same strategies of manning the wall, sorting out truth from falsehood, praying, and looking to God will help us win. This is the ultimate secret to the day of trouble. God will allow us to be challenged to strengthen us, but in the end, God will fight for us.

In the time it took to receive, record and post this series, we have seen some turn around. We have turned the corner. Lies are exposed. the captains are backing up, trying a little more. The dark kingdom is imploding. Take courage. Be strong. Overcome. Recover all.

Indeed, I am encouraged. I am beginning to see more than just a very few alternative media people share the truth. Common people are not being intimidated. They can’t fire half of all workers. They can say that they will replace nurses and air traffic controllers, but that is entirely unreasonable. They can make gas prices higher, inflation severe, taxes worse — but all that will be noticed by the people. They are not just fighting among themselves, they are shooting themselves in the foot. Intecessors and prophets are proclaiming turn around — and so do the headlines.

Let us take heart. Let us man the walls. Let us not believe the lies. let us stand with Love, Truth, and faith.   Let us go out, pursue, overtake, recover all. Meaning, no longer be locked up with fear, based on lies, with our God-given rights taken, nor our children taken, nor our health taken. We can stand together.
