(FB 1543780910 Timestamp) I mean, I took typing against advice of the school – one of the best investments of time I ever made. I wanted to take home ec, so I could learn about running a household, and they wouldn’t let me. I took Marriage and Family in catholic school because it was REQUIRED. One of the most valuable classes in my life. Life is not obvious. They don’t want us running home to criticize our parents, to to be aware of our relative stations in life. But the truth is our parents are possibly competent and possibly not, and our stations in life are in our genes – with random chance the only thing that alters them. Home finance and investing. Managing a household Cooking more than boiling water. How to have a marriage that lasts – for each of the classes. How to raise any number of children and the value of it. How to win friends and influence people – in different classes The basics of law and contract law How small, medium, and large businessse operate. Basic Micro and Macro Economics Statistics for Idiots.

(FB 1544149868 Timestamp) WHAT TEACHING METHOD ARE YOU SEEING HERE? (‘one room schoolhouse’, ‘scraps of your attention’, ‘games’) I write series, tables, definitions, aphorisms, arguments, expositions. (See ‘Koans’.) For color (breaks) I write essays, opinion, nonsense, and diary entries. Why? best way to teach complexity by using scraps of your attention. a book (which i am still editing) would crush all but the few. These “games” allow a lot of people to learn a little at a time at their pace, with new people coming on board all the time. people go away and return when the are ready. some spin off. some quickly master. i cant control the classroom so i control the content. very much like running a big one room schoolhouse: repetition at different levels of complexity while asking some students to help others. it is the old, pre-industrial method of teaching and it is more suitable for teaching where the industrial method is good only for sorting people and filtering them into occupational groups. IMO we should work and socialize more, exercise more, read more, and run classes like this instead of how we do today. -Curt
