Day 483 The growth of special needs children. Who is responsible. YOU.



In my local elementary school that has an an expected enrollment of 107  students for the 2014/15 school year, there are expected to be 13 special needs children in grades K-5. The number of special needs kids was projected as 5, but the number has doubled.
If this is happening in my small town, this is probably happening in towns all across America. The numbers are exponentially moving and if this continues will the numbers make another jump to 26 for every 100 or so students?


That is a huge cost to American taxpayers. These children require special attention outside of the regular classroom, and if the classroom adapts to them, this will mean slowing the class down for the students who are moving at faster speeds. How is this growing problem going to be met by the public schools in America? Especially, when China and India each has more honor students than there are students in America.

One of these special needs children will attend another school that has a program especially suited to this child’s type of problem. This will cost my town 60,000$ a year. Now imagine the potential increases in school costs.

Meanwhile, many people are no longer able to pay their mortgages. And private salaries are not going up, they have remained stagnant. Hence, the growing number of homeless in America. And even here, when these homeless manage to find a low income living solution, if it is outside of a district, naturally the school does not want to carry the children, even if they have been students in the school for many years because the parent’s of the children are no longer paying taxes into that district. Is the school wanting to throw these children out, children that are not the cause of the problem because they are children, just to save money? Is our system such that teachers and superintendents choose their salary over innocent children?

 This is how much money determines life, even before considering that we are dealing with children, who have nothing to do with the present system accepted and allowed by each of us. A system that is not working. A system that needs to change. And each of us is responsible to investigate and question what exists and to stand until a change is created that supports life. If we hide and do not address what does not make sense we allow it to continue, expecting someone else to become responsible for us, when in all common sense, it is the collective that builds the system, thus  the system can only change by the movement of the collective.

What I find most astonishing is that it appears that every decade the education system touts new programs that will teach “ critical thinking” skills, which means that we are “ going” to teach critical thinking. So we are accepting and allowing a “ going to” instead of a “ doing.” More lack of responsibility. A perpetual state of lack of responsibility. Thus, again, the collective is its own demise.

The collective, is the parts that comprise it. That the system is not working, is not supportive, is causing increasing numbers of dis-eased children, and is constantly touting that it is “ going to” teach critical thinking skills, and that people are unable to pay for homes, means that each of us are simply not being responsible. One part in this, one person can’t possibly change this, no one, not one, can be responsible for any of us. Each of us has to become responsible. And, if I might add, making money and having a job does not make one responsible, as we can see from what is happening in our society.

Perhaps having pensions losing value with each passing day, and homeowners unable to keep their homes, and as this, less local real estate taxes and less money for pensions, all those who have worked and screamed about how they worked so hard all their lives, etc. etc. find that their pensions are very small and/or non existent will wonder what happened, or blame those who did not work,  or could not find a job, or were too lazy to work, or whatever justification, were you really self responsible? Were you paying attention to what was going on and making an effort to realize that the system must change? Or were you one of those teachers that when this is pointed out said, “ yes I know, yes I know’? I mean saying  “ yes I know” does that do anything? NO.

This is the fault of the collective, of each of us, because we are not paying attention to what is going on, to the very ways that this system works in detail, and since there are fewer and fewer people who seem to own more and more of the wealth, our ignorance is being taken by those who are paying attention to a greater degree and are aware that no one is really paying attention. ( And I say greater degree because even the extreme wealthy are not paying attention and acting in self interest only, because the consequences of greed are being spread out all over the earth via the way water moves and carries all that pollution we are allowing within practices that are not responsible. Water circulates all over the earth taking everything that is put into is to all nooks and crannies, so no one is able to escape the effects of what is practiced on earth, no one.)  So, these few, can then control what is taught and how much is learned and how developed a child becomes, how much healthy foods children have access to, everything, to ensure that the competition is simply eliminated just in case the collective finally wakes up and decides to pay attention to more than their immediate environment within and without. I mean, would you not do the same thing is you realized no one was paying attention and only thinking about themselves? Wouldn’t you just decide that instead of trying to get someone to think beyond their own immediate needs without looking at all consequence ( and there are many many doing this) to just take as much as you can and build a system that would keep the masses of non-lookers at bay so that when the outcomes of not being aware begin to effect the non-lookers they are going to start to get reactive, and the ones who looked a little bit more are going to say, well you did not really look at what you were doing, so too f-king bad, you can’t blame anyone but yourself, and then throw the tar bomb over the edge of their very substantial castle. ( and meanwhile a wave is there behind this one, so there is no real escape) I mean, I can understand this, I would do the same.

If we are jumping to 13 special needs children out of 107 in my little area, then something is seriously not functioning. Perhaps all that we have allowed to be placed in our water, all those “ no significant differences” that no one can lay cause to one specific practice that our advisory boards have swept under the rug and hidden in so-called “ data” while the government advisor during the supposed regulatory acceptance process moved onto the product’s corporate board ( off shore and protected - remember the castle) of advisors or affiliate, has finally accumulated to the point that the numbers of dis-eased children are moving exponentially.

Yes, if I were you, I would be scared. And realize that the more each of us grow fearful, the harder it is to stand and change the outcome, because when we get to the point where we are directly confronting the consequences of our ignorance, that castle is going to have lots of tar in place and there is not going to be anything that you can do about it at that point. Your begging and hungry children and grandchildren are going to look at you and ask why.


This is the consequence of not being responsible, of wanting someone else to stand for you.

It really is time to start looking. It is time to investigate how the various systems function, the money, the education, the banking, the government, the corporations.

It is time to understand how you function as a mind consciousness system.
It is time to suspend everything you have ever believed and take a hard and long look at what you in fact think and do, and what products you use and where they come from and how they effect the environment.

It is time to realize that our schools are not in fact teaching critical thinking skills. I mean, if teachers really started to look at the system, and if parents really started to look at the system, most children would be pulled out of school and taught at home. It is that simple, and teachers would probably tell parents to do so. I would, I have been in the schools, and I would say, “ home school.”

And, if I were a  parent with small children I would probably look outside the box to ensure that my child had critical thinking skills, because I would realize, if I started to look, that more than likely, my pension, or my partner’s pension is not going to be enough to support retirement so I am going to need to make sure that my child performs extremely well. Remember, there is a continent called China, and they have more honor students than there are students in America. I mean, aren’t the supposed “ elite” acting the same as you?

It is time to find solutions that cause no harm to any living thing on this earth.
It is time to ensure that children learn to be able to be self responsible.
It is time to consider everything we are accepting and allowing.
Investigate a Living Income Guarantee. Thus, things are not as bad as they seem, there are solutions, we need only stand and respond as them.
Investigate how your mind functions. DIP Lite. It is Free.

Day 284 The Story of Inequality, No sustainability

http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?280234
Is is an interesting thing to realize that there are times when I was calm, and did not let the politics of greed bother me. I remained calm as though I could see a pattern that would eventually end, as there was no sustenance within the game being played.
I suppose I saw this within the politics of an orchestral group. And this existed within what was needed to hold oneself steady, that which had to be learned , or rather simply followed, as one had been burned to many times within becoming fearful.
Sometimes I would lead a section. And inevitably there came competition to usurp my spot. Sometimes I fell because I allowed this to get to me. Other times the whine of the competitor drove the administration and the conductor to give in, just to stop the incessant complaint.
But what would happen, is the complainer had no sustaining ability, the learning to complain had taken all sustenance out, the character had been set, and the desire to win had taken over. So, once something was won, off they went to another battle. And I was put back where i was, until the next aggressor came along. It took time for me to learn this.
The really nasty ones, who also eventually left- much like the stories of the kings and queens of medieval court- sought to eliminate, to remove the face of their desired place. Sometimes I was removed, only to sort out my own feelings of having lost something. I was not raised to be aggressive. And in the course of watching such, knew this was not an option I wanted to emulate. Yet, those times I came to believe myself inferior, I lost my own directive capacity and fell.
And this is not to say that i am better because I was not raised to be aggressive, it is just what was. There are moments when I digress and think that maybe it would have been better, but this pondering is crying over spilt milk, and there is no point in this. It is not what would sort out the existence of competition that is not supportive of life, the expression of life here on earth, meaning the absence of a need to eliminate, or abuse, or smother another voice.
I learned to remain calm in the face of the loud aggressive screaming for dominance, and waited to allow the drama to play out, as the actor of this proved to lack staying power, as is the nature of the breeding of such behavior. Similar to the aggression for power on earth, in the end there will be no staying power with men, unless they realize this is not how life can sustain itself on earth. It simply will not work, and it is not working. It is destructive, and the destruction from this is happening all over the globe. Support is sustaining, not the seeking of power. And the plants and the animals and the soils and people on earth are not being sustained, they are being moved around for power and supposed profit of more than, an illusion, as the value is life, is being, is interacting with this physical world, learning to express in and as the very substance of life, here.
So, I am reading this article today about what is happening in India with the grab of privatization of resources, where a few get a piece of paper saying they own something freely given by earth, and ignore all life in an effort to reap their supposed rewards, and to play dress up with a value given to blingy possessions, meanwhile there has been noeducation as to how to be life, to move as life, here, to transcend death, in becoming equal and one to and as life here. Whole peoples are moved off of vast stretches of land and armies are called in to stop the protest of these people who are forced to live in poverty. Is it any wonder why the poor continue protest, what else do they have, there are no other options for them really. And the media does what a purple pro does best, give the dispossessed a new perception label and tout it all over the media until it is believed. Thus do the poor who have had everything taken from them become, in this case, Maoist Gorillas. I mean really. This is as bad as the worst cartoon ever created. In fact it is a cartoon. Unfortunately, it is, as is a cartoon, an imagery so devoid of any depth of reality, with the promotion of stereotypes of good and bad, it is no wonder that few have considered how married the good and the bad are, as the two in totality being the problem, that this is really the play of inequality existent on earth that is the problem. The good and the bad, the more than and the less than, is a drama of inequality, endlessly running on screens all over the world, and so caught up in this drama is the human, that they cannot see this for what it is. We are being banged over the head with what we are allowing, and still we cannot see it. Incredible. The polarity game of inequality, the source of all stories, and no one sees that it is one entity so caught up in itself that it realizes its own destruction NOT. The snake eating its own tale/tail.

Mankind is the story of inequality. It is the story of destruction, it is the story of what not to allow. It is the story of dis-ease. It is the story of the separation from life.

Will there come a day, when children born on earth are told the story of man existing in inequality? That the monster under the bed was simply a belief made so huge as inequality that life was lost.

You decide.
