There should be a greater discussion on education. The current system of teaching is broken. It is not educators faults entirely. A social system that expects a quantified return on it’s investment, in this case children, expects to profit from them as a whole.

We take children, who are blank scripts – and fashion them into tools we can use. What is missed is the connection between everything through exploration – left to their own devices, kids will play, have fun, learn, discover and change the very fundamental beliefs of a static society about the way things have always been done.

Time to read this article and start looking at better ways to make things work for kids and ultimately society. Otherwise, when kids grow up and become disabled and dysfunctional within society’s accept frameworks of trying to fit them into forced labor in which kids are unprepared, unable and unwilling to participate, a heavy price is paid by all. Jobs shipped overseas, lost wages, lost standards of living, crime, increased taxes…. etc. It’s endless and totally wrong the way we are going about it now.

Time to change at the most basic level and reshape the way we are headed with children who just want to play. Smart companies have investing countless millions in trying to retrain adults – this system, that system, no system…. Best advice, invest in playtime and you’ll not only maximize your ROI, you’ll actually see it skyrocket.

As it stands, employees everywhere are over-worked, under-paid, stressed and feel exploited, betrayed and unloyal. TOXIC ENVIRONMENTS DRAIN COMPANIES AT EXPONENTIAL RATES. Just staying ahead of the game by burning out people to make sure that other companies don’t gain the upper hand and gets the lion’s share of the marketplace is totally wasteful. And the cycle repeats over and over and no one learns.
