Yep, I think this is great!
Mind Control of the young - it happens all round the world. Rembember “The Wall” by Pink Floyd - and they went to a pretty decent school in Cambridge
This may sound simple - like people are attracted to like - most adults are scared and fearful
Like minds are attracted to like
Like thoughts are attracted to like

Hi Steve

I do heard good reviews of Montessori schools in general but also know that this is a franchise system, so the school culture differs between one another…

Cheers

Janice,

My boys are 2 and 4 and my oldest will be Kindergarten age this fall. We are sending him to a private Montessori school. It goes through grade 8 (but it doesn’t really have grades). I’m not sure if that school is for us, but we are going to give it a try. We may still home school or send the boys to a Sudbury school.

Bob Proctor says some amazing things about school. He’s usually right. Our school system is not built to encourage free enterprise; it is built to mold workers for the industrial economy.

I just was drawn to the Zen flavor of Buddhism, I didn’t make a logical selection from various sects, it just happened to be the one I decided to read about. I’m not a Buddhist, but I do like the ideas Buddhism presents.

Hi Steve,

Agree with JW that you’ve a beautiful family :)

Just out of curiousity, are you planning home study for your kids as you’ve mentioned that you planned to keep our children out of government and religious school systems? If not, what about their education?

That said, I have to agree with you that school education does not led one to financial and personal gain (in this case, I took it as financial and personal freedom as well) that we would like to have, it just tried to conform us and lead us to a 9-5 job, working for other people.

In a recent report of an interview given by Bob Proctor, he also mentioned that the worst income earning strategy (trading time for money) is currently being used by 96% of the population, which is a result of what we learnt in school, along with other external factors as well.

BTW, there are many schools of thoughts on Buddhism, why did you go for Zen Buddhism?

I love your family. It’s the all American family! :) This gave me the warm fuzzies and made me hug my kids and spouse. We have so many things in common: I am an Oracle alumnus, I have kids the same age and have an entrepreneurial bent as you do. Plus the blogging/writing! Cool huh?

Nice family. Your boys remind me of when mine were that young (sigh). Enjoy this time while you can.

Steve, Great post! I’ve just got one question, though. Where’s the hockey jersey?
