I went to a presentation tonight by Frank Anderson. It was about how to improve the quality of schools without having to increase our taxes. I like the suggestions I heard.

• To remove ignorance is the sole goal of the school. Jacques Barzun.
• Proficiencies has flat-lined for US achievement gap in the last 40 years.
• Cost $166,000 per student from kindergarten to senior. In $1970 currency.
• Things that have changed in education.
• We are investing more money.
• Specific teachers have changed. Retired.
• Specific administrators, they come and go. Specific board members. Big turn over
• Specific legislation changes.
• Specific legislators.
• Specific students
• The problem of education has flat-line of 40 yrs duration. It has not changed by more money being thrown at it.
• Not a problem caused by legislation or legislators.

• What is the same?
• Education & political organizations, bureaucracies and systems. And the way they work and interacts with each other.
• It is a systematic problem.
• Our combined federal and state educations systems are perfectly designed to give us the results we are getting.
• Special Interests donate 93% to political candidates 3% is by the citizens.

• Defining what is possible:
• 3 charter schools test results have scored higher than public school. One of them is Timpanogos academy. Students took Iowa tests and scored higher. The state moved to sage testing. So Timpanogos continued to pay with their money for their students to take Iowa tests.
• Our schools now is a group wants to increase taxes for schools.
• What has Timpanogos charter school done to fix school issues? Have greater teacher retention because they pay same as public school and $300 more. Pay for all insurance etc.
• Top 5 schools at the top of the ACT test where charter school.
• Class size range from 24-27 but in public school, some are up to 32 students.
• The question of a trailblazer, Marva Collins, who taught in minority areas of Chicago. “Ask every student in your class if they know the lines to rap songs. Every hand rises up. What makes us think then that they become so learning disabled when they come to school?
• Education’s philosophy: continue the process skills and tools over knowledge-based schooling. The process and tools support how to learn at all four levels of math. Give an example of how to ride a bike. Teach about how to balance, how to fall safely and other tools required to ride a bike.
• Knowledgebase schooling> have the child ride the bike. Knowledge builds up by staking one level of knowledge on top of the other and avoid gaps in knowledge. Need to be consistent among all teachers. Knowledge stacked on top of knowledge is the key to reading comprehension.
• Shared knowledge makes communication possible.
• Equal access to knowledge promotes excellence and fairness.
• To teach about how the different parts of the atom rotate around each other, the child should first learn how the planets of the solar system rotate around the sun. The solar system knowledge advances to the atom.
• The structure and organization of public schools is one Board for all the schools of that district. Some charter schools have boards elected by parents of that school. A teacher at public school has to follow instructions by state and district.
• “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not into fighting the old but on building the new” Socrates
• We can serve our children by reclaiming authority, accountable and access to our entire education systems. This can be done through the Socrates initiative.
• The Socrates initiative has three missions:
• Ensure Utah leads the nation in academic achieves.
• Eliminate performance gapes regardless of background or income.
• More dollars for teachers.
• Autonomous school means a school that is not a part of the system. This is not just charter. Charters school need to figure out how to get your building and have no external finances to help.
• If we could get 70% of parents of low producing school to take the failing school to become independent or Autonomous.
• Need parents, educators, and taxpayers to support systemic change.
• Whatever it takes, we will not accept a percentage of students from not being proficient.
• Use core concepts which is core knowledge. This type of education was founded by E.D. Hirsch, Jr. He is the same person who wrote the series of books such as: What a first grader needs to know, second grader third etc.

Notes from church today. any inaccuracies is the fault of the note taker.

–          Q: what gives something value.  When you spend something or give time to it, it gives value.

–          Worth is something you’re willing to pay for it.

–          By Christine Matthew: worth of souls is great BYU speech.

–          Humans like to divide it4sm people by value such as class.

–          The human-made value system is in constant flux. Can be valued by leadership.

–          God values are consistent

–          One sign of value people rate is beauty. People alter their lives to be beautiful.  Media will objective bodies.

–          Man look out at the external appearance but God looking into the heart.

–          In the book revelations, the throne of God is not above others. It is a circle and not higher than others.

–          The world’s value system promotes:

–          Definitions of the world’s values promote: Division, condescension, contention, hierarchy, disconnections, judgments, distancing.

–          These want to prove the value of one person above another.

–          People will tolerate someone else difference and it makes us feel our opinions are superior to someone else.

God’s forms of value promote the following;

–          Definitions of the God’s values promote Connection, compassion, love, acceptance, equality, togetherness, understand, closeness.

–          God’s plan promotes the values of each individual.

–          There is a difference between our perfection level and our true worth. Our worth is unchanging

–          The Lord loves everyone. And in everyone, there is something good about a person.

–          What evidence is there of our worth of souls

–          Topical guide to the scriptures give a list of the worth of souls scripture references

–          Study of the atonement can get evidence of our worth.

–          Palms 8:3-6

–          A Raisin in the sun: play.

In a previous lecture by the founder of Oath Keepers, we heard of threats to the United States. These notes are giving suggestions on how we as citizens can help protect the United States.

• You and your neighbors gather to create a neighborhood watch. People will not help outside of the community unless they know their own family is safe.
• LA riots the police backed out. The storekeepers went on rooftops and stopped the rioters from going into the neighborhood.
• Who is on your buddy. (partners may be father and son or husband and wife.)
• Who is on your fire team? Have you coordinate with neighbors of how you would respond under a different circumstance.
• Who is on your squad?
• Neighborhood watch. set up a neighborhood watch.
• Then your church. (your church needs to be a refuge for the community) but they also need to have their own protection.
• You need to protect yourself, family, neighborhood, and church.
• Sheriffs should have a trained posy. Need to have a posse in waiting. Organize yourselves to protect the church.
• Posse members can include those who have military training, medical, fix things like engineers or construction or intelligence.
• Older people need to pass on their knowledge to the younger generation. Older people can be organizers.
• Keep the govern feet to the first (president) but don’t burn them at the stake.
• Founding fathers had local military and the sons of liberty, who terrorize the crown reps.
• Force the government to bring in the military to stop you and the government can’t rely on that the soldiers who are also citizens will not obey orders.
• We could also organize against rioters who harass the street.
• Do not go back to sleep. Put pressure on Trump to do the right thing. Also, put pressure on supporters and staff.
• How to motivate sleeping neighbors. Making things personal. What can I do to help you?  Start a dialog with what is important to them. I am a concerned citizen who is concerned about our neighborhood.
• Do your best to connect to the local first responders’ volunteer and help legitimize you.
• The civil war queue: report urban versus city.
• Don’t assume that everyone who is not white urban is your enemy.
• The old communists are getting old and will have the urge to get things done as soon as possible. Thinks it will be within the next two years.
• Oath keepers say to keep things local as Washington has been lost.
• We should have a political group and different people have different tasks, one on food storage, on one training one to monitor local government.
• Twitter bomb trump and combine together on an issue you disagree with. Or bikers for trump, or Info wars.
