Posted on December 18th, 2007 by Brennan

A few days ago, I posted a repeat of the horrendous statistics regarding how many children are being diagnosed (over-diagnosed?) with severe mental and behavioral disorders.
(See “Education & Bipolar Disorder Revisited” from December 13th, 2007.)

Education - Teaching Students to Think Globally

Posted on November 16th, 2007 by Brennan

I have never been a proponent of the “one world - one government” plan. I am, instead, a staunch advocate of individual autonomy. But it is imperative that each of us become aware of ‘the BIG picture’ and we need to be sharing that vision with our youth, especially in our education system.

CAN THIS MAN BE TRUSTED?

While this post, at first glance, may seem a little off-topic, I think you’ll see that it deals with problems in our education system.
