It is all too common to find an unhappy state of affairs in families, with constant friction between parents and children.
It is not a natural state of affairs. In fact, it can be avoided entirely. L. Ron Hubbard developed many methods to bring out the best in a child—and its parents. In this booklet, you will read about some of these methods and discover how to raise a child without breaking his spirit, how to have a child who is willing to contribute to the family, and how to help a child quickly get over the daily upsets and tribulations of life.

We recommend this booklet for teachers and parents.
Education Quote - John Holt
Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I don't think the currently popular "therapeutic" methods--which involve telling someone, "You're OK, you're really wonderful"--do much good. Tackling a job that seems worth doing, and doing it in a competent manner, is--to my way of thinking--the best way for a person to gain self-esteem.
Educational Resource - Thanksgiving Cranberries
There are a lot of things about how to grow cranberries that you and your children probably don't know. This is a great time of year to learn about them!
For instance, did you know that they don't actually grow in bogs?
Do you know they get their name from a bird?
Do you know that they are harvested wild in some parts of the world?
Read about cranberries and how they grow.

Education Quote - Pablo Picasso
All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.
Here's a great place to learn how to draw caricatures.

Educational Resource - Youth for Human Rights
These human rights public service announcements are available from Youth for Human Rights International.
They are excellent tools for teaching the importance of the United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights, written by Eleanor Roosevelt.
Children need to learn their rights. They need to understand that we all have rights. And they need to begin to learn to do something about it. Children can help. Youth for Human Rights will show you how you can help children become solvers.

Education Quote - L. Ron Hubbard
It is appalling how education tries to reduce all children to the same level mentally. There are just as many degrees and kinds of intelligence as there are children.

Education is a progressive discovery of our ignorance.

Education Quotes - Elbert Hubbard
Every man should have a college education in order to show him how little the thing is really worth.
Educational Resource - Applied Scholastics
Applied Scholastics is a social betterment program, created by the Church of Scientology. It enables people to teach others (including children) how to study better. Overcoming study barriers is so important!

Education Quote - Henry Brooks Adams
Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts.
Education Quote - L. Ron Hubbard
Knowledge is a total certainty and understanding of data and this can include objects, actions, spaces or areas, time and forms.
Education Quote - L. Ron Hubbard
Slaves are made by giving them freedom from responsibility.

Education Quote - L. Ron Hubbard
It is a demonstrable law, not an opinion, that he who would enslave his fellows becomes himself enslaved.
Education Quote - L. Ron Hubbard
If one wishes a subject to be taught with maximal effectiveness, he should:
1. Present it in its most interesting form.
a. Demonstrate its general use in life.
b. Demonstrate its specific use to the student in life.
2. Present it in its simplest form (but not necessarily its most elementary).
a. Gauge its terms to the understanding of the student.
b. Use terms of greater complexity only as understanding progresses.
3. Teach it with minimal altitude (prestige).
a. Do not assume importance merely because of a knowledge of the subject.
b. Do not diminish the stature of the student or his own prestige because he does
not know the subject.

This is a great essay on the destruction of American education. I highly recommend that all parents read this. The link to the full article is below.

In recent years there seems to be a consensus that the American System of Education is in decline. At issue are decreases in academic achievements, as well as poorly maintained schools and facilities and limited resources and materials which make the job of education difficult. Overcrowded classrooms, school buildings in disrepair, inadequate supplies and equipment, and a shortage of text books all make for ineffective education.
Educators most commonly find the lack of available funding to be the greatest hindrance to providing a proper education. Parents who are able opt to pay their own children's private education as opposed to supporting tax increases for "failing" educational systems. This compounds the problem for schools in the public education system which allocates financial resources based on school enrollment.
Considering the consequences of a poorly or uneducated generation of young people ten or twenty years down the road, reform is imperative and perhaps late in coming. "Education Reform" is now the current topic and dominated President Clinton's State of the Union address this year. But such a reform movement has been active in this country, initiated at a federal level, for almost a decade. Education reform, one might assume, should address and improve instruction in academic learning and emphasize the basics of education as well as provide materials and resources to do so. This is not the case.
The emphasis of the current federal education reform program is away from improving academic scores and achievement and its priorities are "attitudinal" and social issues. While test scores are plummeting (the US is 47th place in the world in literacy!) the focus of "education" has moved to "the right attitudes and values".
First dubbed "America 2000" and now called "Goals 2000", The Educate America Act was originally initiated in 1989 at a Governor's conference headed by then Governor Bill Clinton, and was officially adopted at a federal level in 1994. This restructuring had been slowed for a time due to lack of funding. With reinterpretations of laws relating to certain federal funds the restructuring is now moving full speed ahead. School districts, much in need of funding, are being given federal dollars to carry out these goals. As a result, the public education system is being completely undermined and restructured into public health care. Medical and Mental Health funding is being provided to schools by reinterpreting qualifications for Medicaid benefits.
