The Early Catastrophe - Day 375

A research conducted by Betty Hart and Todd R. Risley regarding Poverty and Academic Growth have proven the effect of Unequal opportunity in this world.

 

The table below represent one dimension within the result achieved within years of research, data record, observations and analysed:

 

As you can see, by age 3, children from welfare families are exposed 2.23 times less words/vocabulary than children from Professional families. As a result, a child from a welfare family would speak half the vocabulary size than a child from a professional family.

 

What was also interesting in this research was that the language growth of a child is not only dependent on the words/vocabulary the parents speak at home but also, the experience of the child towards the feedback the child receive, a feedback that is spoken with words. The research shows that in Professional households the children are being positively encouraged by their parents within a ratio of 6:1 meaning - for every 6 encouragement feedbacks, one prohibiting feedback were spoken. However within the welfare families, the scenario is very concerning with the ratio of 1 encouragement to 2 discouragements feedbacks. That means that in the first 4 years of a child life, a professional family would expose their child to accumulated amount of 560,000 more instances of encouraging feedbacks while the welfare family would expose their children to 125,0000 more instances of discouraging feedbacks. It is safe to imagine the psychological problems children from welfare families face within their informative years where their vocabulary is far less advance and their personal character  is unconstructively built.

 

The research also shown that children would most likely to become the exact duplicate of their parents:

 

"By the time the children were 3 years old, trends in amount of talk, vocabulary growth, and style of interaction were well established and clearly suggested widening gaps to come. Even patterns of parenting were already observable among the children. When we listened to the children, we seemed to hear their parents speaking; when we watched the children play at parenting their dolls, we seemed to see the futures of their own children."

That indicate that the cycle would repeat itself and thus, their children would also be exposed to discouraging feedback and lack of vocabulary growth.

 

The research concluded the following:

"Estimating, as we did, the magnitude of the differences in children's cumulative experience before the age of 3 gives an indication of how big the problem is. Estimating the hours of intervention needed to equalize children's early experience makes clear the enormity of the effort that would be required to change children's lives. And the longer the effort is put off, the less possible the change becomes. We see why our brief, intense efforts during the War on Poverty did not succeed. But we also see the risk to our nation and its children that makes intervention more urgent than ever."

 

So understand - the cycle of ineffective human being will continue for generation after generations unless we create a system within which, everyone can be the best through effective training and education system.

For many, there is no equal opportunity to become something that is worthwhile in this world when one is doomed to a life of poor vocabulary and ineffective character building as that is what prevent one from being successful in this world.

Within the Equal Money System, a reform of education will take place where parents would be train to enhance their vocabulary through restoring their natural learning ability with advance technological tools. Once the parents developed effective vocabulary and communication skills, they could stop the cycle by standing as an example for their children, speak wide and expanded vocabulary within the correct context, content and meaning. Here one must understand that we cannot base hopes on the educational system to remediate old vocabulary that was placed ineffectively within the child body. For instance:

"So, a student hears the word 'transportation' in a book about trains," said Ms. Silverman, who was not involved with the Michigan studies. "If the teacher doesn't explain it in a general context, the student might not get the full sense of the word, and might think it's just related to trains."

This is why, to change the world to a world that is best for all, we must start with ourselves, expand ourselves and become effective communicators, effective example for the generations to come and the ones responsible for the production of a better human being. The Education starts at home and without understanding how the human physical of the child naturally learn vocabulary.

SO - would you be part of the solution or part of the problem? You decide.

 

The Fall of our Education System - Day 374

"While children from different backgrounds typically develop language skills around the same age, the subsequent rate of vocabulary growth is strongly influenced by how much parents talk to their children. Children from professional families (who were found to talk to their children more) gain vocabulary at a quicker rate than their peers in working class and welfare-recipient families. "

With the research that was done by Psychologists, from Edinburgh University found:

 

"People whose reading skills had been one level above average at the age of seven, for example, went on to earn £5,000 a year more 35 years later, at the age of 42.

 

Prof Timothy Bates and Stuart Ritchie, a graduate student, explained: "These findings imply that basic childhood skills, independent of how smart you are, how long you stay in school, or the social class you started off in, will be important throughout your life."

And this is in essence the World we live in - if you born to the right side of the equation, you will be able to make something of yourself in this life and if you were unlucky and born in the 'wrong' side of the equation, the chances that you be able to step out the cycle of poverty and financial stress is highly unlikely.

 

And yet, we live in a world where the market is "Free"; in a world of Glorified Capitalistic system;  It isn't a free or glorified system when you read the data above isn't it?

 

This is a system that fails to see everyone as Equal by giving everyone FREE access  to the MARKET regardless your DNA, where you were born and what skin color you have; This system so conveniently ignores  the fact that in the moment one born, one have the right to Live and this right is protected, honored and respected with the actual meaning of HUMAN RIGHTS. This system that we have today is nothing but empty words that would give one the illusion of hope - the illusion that would restrain one from seeing what is really here.
 

The funny thing is that we all bought it and we stand for the Free Market/Capitalistic system by our Votes and by our silent ignorant. Do you really think that going out to the streets and scream for change would make any difference? You that goes to the streets serve a purpose to the Elite - they make more money so long as you are in the street. Do you really think that if you being in the street wasn't for the benefit of the Elite, the Elite would allow it? Really - time to wake up.

 

So - We must change the way we look at things and start seeing what is really going on behind the scene and stop the cycle of Ignorance. There is a safe, no harm solution for the problem in this world - Equal Money System that is based on the actuality of Human Rights. Instead of spending time on meaningless attempts to make a point in the streets, educate yourselves, study how can you practically make a change in this world that is worthwhile.

 

Our education system is faulty and you will not get the education you require to be an effective human being in this world - you must start looking outside the box and for that, we saved you the trouble - we have done and still doing extensive research that you can read and watch at your own time - make your life worthy and study what needs to be done to change this world to a world that is best for all.

 

Let's give everyone an equal opportunity in this world - Join us - Equal Money System
