Grouping Students by Ability - Day 391

“It was once common for elementary-school teachers to arrange their classrooms by ability, placing the highest-achieving students in one cluster, the lowest in another. But ability grouping and its close cousin, tracking, in which children take different classes based on their proficiency levels, fell out of favor in the late 1980s and the 1990s as critics charged that they perpetuated inequality by trapping poor and minority students in low-level groups. “

Interestingly enough, 20-30 years after and without anyone noticing, grouping children by ability is very common in today's world despite of research showing that grouping children by ability perpetuate inequality and increasing the gap between the poor and the elites of this world.

 

I mean even for myself, from elementary school to high school I was always placed in the smart kids groups and I was very confident within my learning capacity although, I was very judgemental towards those who were under me, I saw them as worthless and stupid and inferior. Everything turned around when I started high school and according to my previous marks, I was placed in the smart kids class and now, everyone were the best and I was slowly but surely moving down the scale from being the best to being one of the worse student in my class and with that, my confident disappeared, my self esteem crashed and I saw myself as stupid,  worthless and inferior exactly as I judged those in the lower groups up until high school. This had created severe consequences in my life because I lost my own trust in myself to a point of absolute compromise, giving up and self defeat. I saw myself as  nothing that is worthwhile. I did as little as possible to excel, I trusted my look to open the doors for me, which for a while it did, but eventually my looks wasn't enough as I had to also prove my skills and I couldn't because I didn't believe that I can be good in anything and when things were a bit hard, I gave up and quit because that was the habit that I created through the high school years.

 

In a way, I am lucky for having to walk my process for the past few years where I could let go of this self defeat that I got myself believing that that is who I am and so, I stood up again, made my stance in this world, found a the positions I am naturally good at and enhanced these skills with consistency, over time; I was suddenly motivated to live and I could only do it within the support I received not only from myself through my writings but also the support I received and still receiving from the group that is walking with me. But not everyone are lucky as me and are able to really take the time to sort themselves out when it is already way to late, not many are lucky enough to grow in an environment that is supportive and thus preventing these future problems in personal character development and once we stigmatized a child and defined them as a slow learner or with learning difficulties or with low IQ, we doomed the child to live unsuccessful and unsatisfied life.

 

But the point that I want to make here is that the research that was done from my perspective is counterproductive because the problem of inequality does not start when the children are already in school and now being graded to groups according to their level of learning - the problem of inequality start much much sooner, at home, wherein the welfare family cannot give the child the equal opportunity the child deserve of having as a human being in this world because the parent are not educated enough and do  not have the basic life skills of words in place. The welfare families also cannot provide the children with additional support in their informative years to be able to stand in alignment to the children coming from professional households. A research that is actually very well done and valid is shared here: The Early Catastrophe. In this research it is clearly shows that by age 3, dependent on the socio economic status the family stand as, the child would either be successful or not. Age 3.

 

So, if you followed my blogs thus far, you would know that there is a solution for this problem of inequality and that is to equalize the economic world system through the Equal Money System that is based on substantial application of human rights and within that, equal opportunities, proper education, health care and so on. No child should be left behind can only be applied within a system that is bases on the value of life that is best for all and that is in essence the Equal Money System.

Why Poverty - Welcome to the World - Day 288

When I watched 'Why Poverty - Welcome to the World', I assumed that I'd be 'Prepared' to what I was about to watch. I mean, I'm well aware of what is going on in this world, I'm aware of the Severe Problems that this world is suffering from and I'm aware that people are suffering - I've seen it in my own eyes when I was traveling around the world. And yet - the documentary struck me hard.

 

I experienced extreme Sadness; Anger; Guilt; Shame; Frustration; but mostly Anger towards myself because I have seen in my own eyes what is going on in this world but I didn't care, it was a moment that passed and I could continue with my happy, no worries life. I was Angry that it took me so long to take my responsibility and investigate for real what is going on from the starting point of becoming the voice of these people that cannot stand for themselves and from the understanding that if I truly want to make a change in this world, I must get to the core/origin/source/root of the problem, to be able to stand as a living solution.

 

I was shocked from my own ignorance and the ignorance of humanity as a whole. I was shocked that we do nothing practical to use the resources that are available in this world and distribute it effectively so that no one would ever have to face what these people, the majority of this world, face in every single day.

 

Then I realized that I was Reacting instead of walking the Principle of Prevention and that as long as I'm Reacting, I'm of no use for the people that require us to stand together and walk the change we would like to see in this world. I realized that so long as I'm reacting, I'm wasting a breath that could have been a great assistance and support for these people if only I had committed myself to walk in every breath towards a solution that is best for all and within that, do what ever necessary to be done to End this Atrocity once and for all.

 

I transformed the Sadness to a constructive application - Self Motivation so absolutely that I commit myself to put my self interest aside, for this one life time and do what ever I'm capable of doing so that when I die, I die with no regret because I know, that I didn't accept and allow myself to waste a breath on irrelevant and meaningless things but rather, utilize every breath I have left in this One life time to assist and support myself to effectively stand up for those who needs us to stand up for a life that is best for all.

 

The truth is - I was about to access Depression as I felt Powerless and useless but fortunately, I live with people that reminded me that going into Depression won't make any difference but standing up from the depression and continue doing everything in my power to support myself and therefor, supporting others, is what counts.

So I decided to share with you this blog, as a support from me to you, as the support that I've received today in being able to transform the reactions into a solution because anything less than that, would prolong the process of us all.

 

There is a solution for this world, a solution that would bring about dignity and worth for each and every Human being, animal and nature. Unfortunately, I cannot do this alone. No one can. Because no one Alone created this mass, we all had participated and thus part of this fuck up and therefor, we all must stand cooperatively and Correct that which we are accountable for.

 

If you are interested in Life, interested in leaving a world of worth after you die, interested in making sure that no one would ever go to sleep hungry - stand up for LIFE today and invest your time in studying the Equal money System. The longer we wait, the longer others would have to continue suffering. We decide.

Charity Exposed - Day 73

For Context -

Please listen to the interview:

Life Review - An Elite Philanthropist

And read:

Day 68: Why Does Our Future Even Require Funding - Activist Journey to Life

Day 39: Is Charity Greed? - Creation Journey to Life

I forgive myself that I've accepted and allowed myself to have refused to see that Charity isn't the solution that will bring about a world that is best for all because for Charity to exists, poverty must exists, diseases must exists, disabled people must exists etc. within that, I forgive myself that I've NOT accepted and allowed myself to see the polarity that is playing out within the Charity concepts wherein for Charity to exists - Poverty and Wealth must exists as a polarity design that perpetuate the inequality of this world.

I forgive myself that I've NOT accepted and allowed myself to question the Charity funds process wherein the resources, food, labour that goes into it, the fuel, airplane, medical practitioners - all of that comes from many other sectors in the world system that the Elite families own and thus, the fact of the matter is that when the Elite families are giving money to charity, they are double and triple their profit in the process because within that, money is being circulated within the world money system without any actual regard or care of the people that are starving because in essence, the more people have nothing, the more the elite have for themselves.

I forgive myself that I've NOT accepted and allowed myself to see, realize and understand that when the charity ourses are being distributed from different sectors around the globe, the Money system is making money of the existence of charity because all that was gathered for charity is mostly own be specific elite families funds, which is connected to various corporation, industries, companies, countries etc which in essence, the Charity industry, is another way for the elite family to make more money.

I forgive myself that I haven't accepted and allowed myself to see, realize and understand that Charity is part of the Money System and is dependent on the world system of poverty and wealth which within that, an actual solution to the global situation of poverty, starvation and famine is in no concern of the world system because if it was, we would change the entire world system into a manifestation that will make sure that all the resources will distributed equally and will reach all parts of the world and yet, the current concern of the world/Money system is to make more and more money.

I forgive myself that I've accepted and allowed myself to have failed to see that Charity isn't and won't change the world for the better because it can only touch beings life for a moment and then it's gone; If charity was really beneficial in this world, it would have already made a change. Within that, I forgive myself that I've not accepted and allowed myself to acknowledge that charity is just another part of the world money system and its existence is dependent on poverty, famine and war as the foundation of the world economic system and thus, in essence, Charity is another profit opportunity for the Elite families of this world to make more money.

I forgive myself that I've NOT accepted and allowed myself to realize that my expectation that charity and fund raising can actually make a change in this world is naïve and irresponsible because within that, I haven't consider the actual, practical and physical requirement of the resources, to assist and support the third world countries to stand up on their feet and within that, I have not consider what it actually take to walk with a country and reconstruct/rebuild the country until it's done and the dependency is no longer determine whether or not one will live or die.

I forgive myself that I've NOT accepted and allowed myself to SEE, REALIZE and Finally UNDERSTAND that the earth's resources should have never been allowed to be privatized and own by only a few and that within a system of Equality, all the resources are equally distributed as a basic human living right.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that charity is used by the dishonest EGO to feel better about the many daily dishonesties that are required from each human to function and be part of a failed system. Bernard Poolman

I commit myself to bring an end to poverty and to stop the dependent relationship between Money and the earth resources within the establishment of Equality system that will equally distributed all resources to all parts of the world.

I commit myself to expose the Charity Process and to prove that the starting point of charity is in no way to actually support all Equally but to in fact, double and triple the profit of those who owns the world system's industries, banks, corporations etc.

I commit myself to end Charities as it is clearly demonstrated to have no beneficial effect within the world system and within that, I stand for a world that is best for all and thus, commit myself to an active part of the establishment of Equal Money System that will bring LIFE that are worthy Equally to All.

I commit myself to show and expose the relationship between the existence of Charity and Poverty and to show - that when Charity exists, Poverty exists. When Equality exists, charity will no longer exists.

I commit myself to show that those who funds and maintain the entire charity industries, could have used their power and resources to bring about a world that is in fact best for all which than within that, the fact that they didn't, question their integrity and good will.
