Check Out Education Revolution Put Together By Will Stanton Accessible Through Kindle

is very wrong with our education system, Children are being told what to think when we should be teaching them how to think, Schools are places of indoctrination when they should be places of inspiration, Creativity needs to be nurtured, not suppressed, Education Revolution dares to call it out for what it is, Throughout the book, Stanton tackles a wide range of controversial issues from the desperate need for critical thinking in our schools to the alienation of our brilliant minds, He takes a step outside the box and looks at what education is really doing to future generations of human beings, Stanton takes a solutionsbased approach to these problems and offers up an entirely new model for education which he calls The Six Dimension Model, The paradigm needs to change, Humanity must evolve Disclaimer: I got this book from Storycartel in exchange for a honest review, Well, here it is.

This book is bad, Like really, really bad. First of all, Stanton makes very, very strong claims that seem very implausible to me, without backing them up, His characterization of the current education system is a caricature which my experiences in the education system do not confirm, Another problem I have is that the book is conspiratory in theme: the government and the big businesses are indoctrinating and brainwashing us on purpose, and everything bad in the world is their fault.

But these aren't even the biggest problems I have with "Education Revolution", My biggest problem with is that it is not about education a lot, His chapters seem to jump from

here to there with no underlying connection, These are topics with a whole chapter dedicated to them:
Money and how it's the root of all evil, and how federal banks contribute to it
The Geometric Code some theory about sacred geometry that constitutes the very basics of the universe or whatever
the importance of being careful with nature and our natural resources
The thought that everyone is linked together in some sort of mass consciousness or that we are all specifications of one consciousness I didn't bother to read this
and again "A World Without Money"
These digressions are inexcusable, but they're also written in the same style: hyperbolic and conspiratory.

Don't bother with this book, YET another game changer. I thought this was incredible and a completely different view on how education should be delivered, Stanton presents a methodology on how children should be taught in a more natural manner away from the rigidities and intellectually stifling atmosphere that the current schooling system puts our children through.
Like me Stanton is totally against the concept of testing and the conveyor belt of SATs, GCSEs, ALevels, Degrees, Boring Job, repaying debt and mortgage that most of us live our lives through.
I agreed with almost everything he said in this book, The book verges on slight conspiracy theory levels at times but Stanton encourages us to check everything that he says and not just take his word for it, Here are some of the interesting points in the book:
Christopher Hitchens “the essence of an independent mind lies not in what it thinks but how it thinks.
”
Another key theme in his writing is the need for people who are iconoclasts by nature and willing to break away from what the rest of the world considers and foolishly accepts as the norm.
It needs more people that are willing to think about how things could be different and then act out on that difference also,
There is a really interesting section on the power of the mind where Stanton talks about how we are all interlinked even with the plants and other animals.
He attached a plant to a polygraph reader and when he put a lit match against one of the plant's leaves there was recorded activity on the polygraph, Crazy but maybe understandable. Where it gets really crazy is when he is about to grab the match to light the leaf so he hasnt even picked up the match yet only thought of the intention to do so suddenly there was recorded activity on the polygraph reader.
It was as though the plant was telepathic, unreal if true.
Another crazy experiment he cites belonged to a scientist called Masaru Emoto surname is quite apt once you read the following Emoto hadjars full of recently boiled rice and labelled one with love and the other with hate.
Literally he wrote love on one jar and then hate on the other jar, After a month the jar which had hate written on it had gone black but the “love” jar remained white, Unreal.
He has also created thedimension model which talks about thekey facts of education which we should be following, Hisdimensions are: selfdiscovery, inquiry, sustainability, innovation, communication, empathy,
He gives the incredible example of the Kin school in Tekos Russia which is the brain child of Michail Shchetinin which is created by the children and part run and maintained by them also.
Literally the children cook for each other, write the textbooks, teach each other, collaborate in day groups, clean and take on maintenance duties as well as learn to work as one.
Amazing.
Stunning book which I highly recommend, I picked up this book because, like the author, I believe that there is something very wrong with our current education system, In our current system children are being taught what to think, and not HOW to think, Stanton is clearly a product of this very system and it would have done him good to take a crash course on critical thinking before attempting to write a book about it.
In fact, instead of actually discussing the need for critical thinking in our schools as is promised in the Education Revolution's synopsis, Stanton just bombards the reader with a random collection of conspiracy theories and unscientific "research".
The utopian education model he eventually proposes at the end of the book just further illustrates his naivety,

Stanton has some good ideas but doesn't really offer any concrete solutions to the problems of the current education system, His book is essentially just a collection of ramblings by a doeeyedsomething year old who had some kind of "waking up"moment and now thinks he has figured out how to make this world a better place.
Very disappointing. Don't waste your time with this book, sitelink post a comment.
