Book Description

After years of public school teaching,parenthood, his experience as student himself, and research on education and child development, Benedick Ganzo has come up with an educational philosophy that will help you guide your children's full development through self-determinate education which he proves to be the way we humans were being educated since we first set foot on earth up to the time when schools were first set up in the last two hundred years, to fill the need for manual labor, when learning became more synthetic and boring, restraining potentially talented masters and kings of their disciplines and making them mediocre or average at best..He shows why the present school system poses more risk to the development of the child against the minimal advantage it could provide.He explains why moving away from standardization or a general curriculum is the first step in improving education and at the same time making it cheaper for governments to operate. Before we the governments implement school reforms, he offers ways on how we might find ways to get the benefit of schools without letting it ruin our children. In the end, whether homeschooling, unschooling, or attending regular schools, he presents strategies on how children could develop their full potential through the educational philosophy that he believes was more suited for us human beings which could have also been adapted by our schools had John Dewey prevailed over the Thorndikian factory-modeled schools.Throuhgh this book, Benedick Ganzo has shown that we cannot just leave our children to schools and expect that someday, after going through the Department-mandated list of competencies, they would already become the best version of themselves, even in the company of well-intentioned teachers who are obediently following orders from a central Department. This is a must-read for all teachers, parents, single mothers or fathers who will not settle for what is second best for their children.Your parenting skills in the education department would be enriched by knowing the educational philosophy of self-determinate education, which is the ancient way and the only way desirable for humans for millions of years before the advent of the reality-dettached factory-modeled schools.
