You will note from some other of my postings that I went to School at a Catholic Elementary, Middle, and High Schools.
The time frame was in the 1960s and 1970s. Some also came from discussions for questions that happened during classes with the teachers.
What is in ( ) are additions and changes that I see now should be done for this time frame for the names and wording used now. I have made a few corrections so that it is easier to understand the notes.
What I learned and provide here, makes me wonder what our Children who are attending school at this time are learning.
A. Specialized Book Clubs (Social Media overall) can be boring if you do not read other books. That is if you ONLY Read books related to that club. (eg.--. Information Technology – types of music on radio, Political, types of only ONE faith, etc.)
B. In my opinion -- "Some ART classes tend to restrict you to that one type of art, rather than expand creativity."(That is for ALL types of ART.)
C. To me what makes the best movies or plays are those that draw you into the story and in ways you are part of it. (ADD in anything of Internet and all other social media, etc. about all topics.)
D. I feel that a college education will suceed only if you make and finish it by trying some time with real work not just sitting through the courses ignoring it asll.. (That is any work – part time – volunteering – etc.)
E. It is my belief that a person’s skin color is NOT Important or MEANS anything for ANY REASON. More important is the state of mind inside the person = positive or negative about anything or everything. I learned this in 5th Grade.
F. One must pay close attention to scientific lectures, articles, etc. to learn anything. Just sitting there thinking of something else is stupid. (That includes using cell phone, tablet, and other IT tools.)
G. If you analyze television, programs (all internet, Cable), etc. the way they are now, you will discover that the improvement of anything that is learned has been slowed down over some years. Include ANY Technology, learning, reading, writing, etc. Understanding and using any of that instead of not doing anything makes you a person not a thing.
H. I feel almost certain that space travel will become commonplace in the next 30 years or so. ( I wrote that just after the Moon Lading.)
J. Nobody can convince me that we can be taught to hate. We can and should be taught to Accept and Love everyone.
I would like anycomments or opinions - Good - Bad -Negitive - Positive - etc. that you may have.
