Yeah, what would that be???? Is that even possible. Really, what would have to be happening in our schools all across America, where if students had a choice, they would choose to go to school rather than take a trip to Disney land or Six Flags. Is that even a discussion that is a part of reality?
Yes, that is a discussion that is a part of reality. Here is what would be going on in school that would make students want to freely choose to go to school rather than take a trip to Disney Land or Six Flags:
Students are discovering who they uniquely are as a person and why that is so valuable
Students are discovering what their super powers are, how to master them and how to show off their super powers to their family, friends and loved ones
Students are discovering how and where to use their super powers to make the world a much better place and at the same time build wealth and success for their family and community
Items 1 - 3 are achieved every day through a lesson plan structured to implement a curriculum in a hilariously challenging, interesting and fun, entrepreneurial role play game framework, where students take on various roles of running or operating a company or projects required to achieve a business outcome. Students acting out their roles in the simulated business game framework, allows students to learn and master lesson plan curriculum objectives - but now in the context of using their super powers in roles achieving responsibilities in the face of challenges requiring creative solutions, working with and compromising with others while achieving their business simulation goals which simultaneously achieves their curriculum and daily lesson plan goals and objectives. This process cements learning, because learning is now associated with their identity, their super powers, discovering where they will use their super powers in the world and being able to show these super powers off in action (role playing) in front of the family, friends and loved ones. Over the course of a year, students will have had the opportunity to try many different roles in the entrepreneurial and business environment. Trying them on and trying them out, getting live and practical experience and feedback to determine and evaluate for themselves, along with feedback from others, who they are , what are they good at, what and where do they like using their super powers to best solve problems or capitalize on opportunities.
I don't know about you, but nothing even remotely was happening like that where i went to school or even when i got to college. The question is why not???? This is how we learn and how we love to learn. At the end of the day we are all selfishly interested in who we are, how is this benefiting me, how can I use what i am doing to help me make my life better and then and only then I can feel comfortable focusing on how I can use who I am to make the world a better place. As I was growing up my mind was always wondering, like why am I here and what am i going to use this stuff for. Even if I am not going to use it again, at least can we do something with it so that I can see the value in it on a practical level, not just discuss it and answer some questions.
The tools and resources we have available to us now in the world for allowing this type of education are endless and available so that every child in America can experience this type of education, independent of zip code. Our schools and their facilities should in effect be transformed into effective movies studios supporting this type of education process. The information technology, gaming and Holly Wood Studios and News Media (CNN, FOX, etc) would be enlisted to develop content, platforms, automated processes and procedures through Blockchain Ecosystems to automate the performance capturing, evaluation and grading process as much as possible, so that student (actors) and Teachers/Administrators (directors/producers) can focus on performing, achieving, correcting and mastering curriculum goals and objectives through entrepreneurial role play. I describe this fresh new framework for upgrading the education process all across America in the Economic Gospel for the United States of America, the National Economic Strategy for the USA. This process is not just for kids from economically disadvantaged environments. I believe the wealthiest schools systems in America need this, crave something like this. It is achievable, but will require that we work together as a nation to make this happen.
The big word used in education over the past decade has been Reimagine Education. You Reimagine This.....You wake up today with your family, your kids are about to go off to school and you say to them, hey kids, I'm taking off work today, I called into school and I told your teachers you would not be there today, I am going to take you to Six Flags today, we will be there all day, from the time it opens, until the time they close, what do you think.............and they say to you..........Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaduuuuuugh, Mooooooooooomuuuuuuugh...........what did you do???? Oh no!!!! We want to go to school, Today I am going to be.............and I will be doing..............and etc.........CAN YOU REIMAGINE THAT????? YOUR KIDS SAYING THAT??????????
