Contact me for help starting a school. I have been doing teacher training and administrator coaching and owner consulting for more than 20 years. I was the one who wrote the book on starting a licensed childcare center as a mission. I have now a new book on re-founding education. I can help you.

Do you have a group, like maybe a congregation, that wants to start a school? Call me so I can advise y ou in process. Maybe you are a homeschool grandmother and have a large living room. Call me to find out about microschools. Maybe you want a conversation or maybe you want your hand held for a year. Maybe you have a little school and you need board and staff training.

My consulting website is www.orgstrat.net   

For a course in starting a licensed childcare center, go to www.teachachildchangeanation.org

Please share with your better friends, and talk this up at your church — if it is a healthy one.

My latest book, Re-founding Education: Jesus’ Teaching Method for Parents, Pastors, Teachers, and Administrators is out now! Yesterday was the launch day. And even better for you, in Kindle version, you can get it for free today also.

Please tell your friends! And they might even be able to get it for free if they hurry – over the weekend!

Please give me a good review.

WHAT IS IN THE BOOK

Here is the deal: Education in American is on the wrong track. We know that. Heading the wrong direction. I wondered how it could be so bad. Chapter 2 explores that. I discovered something that really shocked me.

Then, in Chapters 3 & 4, I cover the rest of the education situation. What else is going on besides government schools? And how is that working? What is useful and what is disappointing.

Then, Chapter 5 is the chapter everyone will want to get to. What lessons in how to teach, can we learn from Jesus, the Master Teacher? I have 7 categories. And, it is more that just saying “STORIES” you seminary trained guys! Listen! It is really high time someone did this sort of study. Last time a book was published with this strategy was 1895. Yes, 1895. r

Any experienced educator or good mother will recognize immediately some of these lessons. And probably slap there head. What were we thinking that we forgot these lessons?!?!?! Love for students. Do you think that is the primary value of government schools? How about teaching Truth? And so forth.

WHY THIS BOOK IS SO IMPORTANT

This book will be a go=to read for anyone starting teaching, homeschooling, or even considering a congregation’s educational mission. It will move the conversation along in the academic world of education, especially in Christian universities attempting to have departments where they train teachers. (I have always said that wherever we train pastors, like in Bible Schools, we ought to also have teachers’ colleges.) This book will be the beginning of the way forward.

HOW YOU CAN BE PART OF THE TEAM

You need to get a copy, or you will be missing out. Get a copy for every Christian person who is struggling to teach anywhere in any context. That means the pastor and Sunday School teacher. That means the people who run a local Christian school. Make it a study text for your homeschooling support group.ion pen to facts and fairness for our students. So, you know what it takes to get the word out these days, when we are flooded with information, good or not. Speak for this in your study groups. Like, share, and review. This really does matter, because the algorithms of every electronic platform push down what is seldom looked at. Amazon, in particular, will not show books to people unless there are big sales. Even if there were no persecution in the world, in the most plain terms, they want to sell the most books. So , they are going to show books with the highest sales. Self-perpetuating prophecy — unless friends help.

And btw, free now.

And reviews! Please post an honest review after getting the book. Thanks a bunch ya’ll. Let’s do something for the children!

Vision Can Be Improved!

Vision can be improved! So can eyesight.

Both vision and eyesight can be improved? Did you think not? Did someone tell you otherwise?

Vision has to do with the brain. Eyesight has to do with the eyes. Both need to be working. Both can be improved.

Eye doctors do not do that. They, instead, sell glasses. So, they “correct” eyesight by putting on glasses. Often these glasses are the wrong prescription. People, especially children complain, and are told “well your eyes will adjust.” Well, sure enough their brain adjusts, and maybe their eyes adjust too. And then they need stronger glasses. Until the person is old and is sold surgery — that lasts only 7 years. STOP!

Vision is not the same as Eyesight

Vision/eyesight is extremely important. Obviously, it underlies academic performance, but also it is foundational to lots of other things including spatial awareness/coordination and social ability and behavior and ability to focus! Until now just about no one was working scientifically on that.

Resources

And more and more Americans are having eye problems — largely because of the over-use of screens.

I just heard a great podcast by Dave Asprey with guest Dr. Bryce Applebaum https://daveasprey.com/1240-bryce-appelbaum/ that got me excited. So, I sat down with you, like an informal chat, and tried to convey what I know.

Meier Schnieder was blind, exercised till he could see, and started sharing his intuitive methods with others. He now teaches courses in person and on line. https://self-healing.org/ He had a couple of books, too.

Here is a link to the old sunning and palming exercises, altho I do not know the folks behind these sites at all. Looks like this is called the “Bates Method.”

Easy things to do

First principals:
Get outside, do not stay indoors on your computer all the time! Strictly limit screen time for children. Make your screens warm, with as little blue light as possible. Even adults should stop using a screen 2 hours before bedtime or use strong blue blockers like Tru dark glasses. https://truedark.com/ (Cheap substitutes won’t be as good but will likely do some good.)

Look far away. Take breaks from working your eyes at least every hour.

Exercise your eyes: 1) Look close and far away
2) Look all around
3) Use your peripheral vision
4) Rest your eyes by covering your eyes with your warm palms and enjoying darkness for a while.

I think you will notice that your eyesight is improving with just a few trials. But keep on! Take hope and motivation by this fact, now established: that vision and eyesight can be improved — a great deal. Maybe in the future no one will wear glasses!

Story of my grandsons and how this podcast got going

Today, I tell the story of my older grandsons and how this podcast go going. They had some problems to start with, but then my daughter had a terrible auto accident with them in the car. the oldest went to be with Jesus. The next was given zero percent chance of living. He turned 5 in a coma. The third, not yet two, was thrown from his care seat, out the windsheild, and his femur fractured, and had glass in his forehead.

We went to the “best ICU” in the state and got unimaginably bad “care.” But we got help from a famous ministry that I happened to know in that town. And we got some healings – in a variety of ways.

i really credit the folks at that ministry especially for coming out to my grandson’s memorial service. Gosh, that was kind. It is one thing, as a professional to provide one, but for lay folks just to come out; that is kind. And we got some healings. The second grandson woke from that coma, and started talking — to the utter amazement of the speech therapist. And he is working now. Pediatricians were flabberghasted that he could walk. He can come close to being management, at 25, I am told.

Third grandson, I pulled glass out of his hair. And taught him to talk. He is a valuable tradesman, now at 22. And will have to make a hard decision about whether to take a supervisory position, too.

All this because I had a faith perspective.

And my pastor said, “Write a book!” Well, I did. And you can buy it: Learn at Home for Great Shalom. That is what I knew. That is why I told my father that there was not point in my earning money to save for the boys’ college if they never learned to read. They did. But not because of doctors or schools, but because of Grandmother. And they are not the only ones. The Lord has sent me into schools a few times to rescue other children.

What about yours? You need to listen and learn, first the faith perspective, and then the right strategies for your children, grandchildren or students. God wants total well-being for all children. And you need to be part of providing that.

Also, other people need to know about it. I have been censored, I am told, because I have curated info about … well you know… that also hurt children and old people. But God still wants total well-being for all children, old and young alike. And with faith and perserverence, we are going to be part of delivering that. Please help. Share face2face and otherwise, won’t you?
