Bring Up Kings

After years of public school teaching, parenthood, his experience as a student himself, and research on education and child development, Benedick Ganzo has come up with an educational philosophy that will help you guide your children’s full development through self-determinate education which he proves to be the way we humans were being educated since we set foot on earth up to the time when schools were first set up in the past two hundred years, to fill the need for manual labor, when learning became more synthetic and boring, restraining potentially talented masters and kings of their disciplines, and instead of making them mediocre or average at best.. He shows why the present school system poses more risk to the development of the child against the minimal advantage it could provide. He explains why moving away from standardization or a general curriculum is the first step in improving education and at the same time making it cheaper for governments to operate. Before the governments could implement school reforms, or even if they do not, he offers tips on how we could find ways to get some of the benefits of schools like being a place to have fun with friends, without letting it destroy our children. In the end, whether homeschooling, unschooling, or attending regular school in compromise with a cooperative teacher, he presents strategies on how children could develop their full potential through the educational philosophy that he proves was more suited for us human beings which could have also been adapted by our schools had John Dewey prevailed over the Thorndikian factory-modeled schools. Through this book, Benedick Ganzo has shown that we cannot just leave our children in schools from the age of six for the next 12 years, and expect that someday, after going through the Department-mandated list of competencies, they would already become the best version of themselves, even in the company of well-meaning teachers who are required to obediently follow the orders of a central Department. This is a must-read for all teachers, parents, single mothers, or fathers who will not settle for what is second best for their children. Your parenting skills and the education of your children would be deeply enriched by knowing the educational philosophy of self-determinate education, which is the ancient way and the only way that worked for humans for millions of years before the advent of the reality-detached factory-modeled schools.
