The Power of Core!

...and, no, I am not referring to "Common Core" :)!

As we look around us, we see a world driven by entertainment and self-interest.  What we need to lead us to freedom and happiness in the future is not more people seeking what is the most fun or socially engaging activity, but people who are willing to set those aside to pursue what is necessary to protect our freedoms and pursue truth!

I believe Core Class is the key to creating these kind of individuals among our youth.   Once they see the "why" in Core class, they will be willing to not only pay the price to go deeper into journeyman and master, but they will continue to sacrifice to pursue light and truth in their lives.


Preparatory material:
As you do the following, please note feelings and impressions you get, as well as any part that stands out to you:
 
-Review Neil Flinders readings for this event in "Teach the Children" and especially focus on the sections highlighted in the article: "Notes from "Teach the Children"
-Watch/listen to one or more of the following:
http://www.ted.com/talks/simon_sinek_how_great_leaders_inspire_action
http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_changing_education_paradigms.html
http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_how_to_escape_education_s_death_valley.html

Ask yourself these questions:
-What kind of teaching motivates me to change?
-What experiences have I had that have inspired change in my life?
-What kind of teaching "de-motivates" me and my children?


See you there!
