START SCHOOLING AT LATE MORNING HOURS FOR MORE PEACEFUL & INTELLIGENT CHILDREN IN THE NEW AGE

 

"Quality of education cannot be measured by quantity of syllabus taught or number of hours put into school.  Several children who excel in life are drop outs from school because school discipline curbs creative thinking, due to the stress on the drill more than on enterprise.

Apeism & restlessness is being encouraged by focusing on imitative tasks than a movement towards than human evolution to a higher quality of peace & happiness. Creating a good quality of education and understanding of the mind requires teaching and rewarding patience. Increasing patience in life requires a choice to be peaceful by making changes in life-style which are creating anxiety, restlessness, anger or harassment.

New methods of focus which improve quality of education imparted would help to evolve human consciousness towards a more peaceful existence."


 


Schools have been running like armies to ensure mass obedience. However, the same principle of obedience creates terrorists, assassins and alcoholics who are so dominated by the obedience cult that they rebel and start obeying negative methods of earning and relaxation . thus becoming obedient to negative patterns of existence. They do not break free from the obedience mindset by rebelling from traditional culture and obeying norms of hyped culture . As they are not taught to invest on learning emotional management which teaches methods of developing creativity , meditation and original thinking ;they cannot use original thinking to defend their own conscience. Hence, children have to be taught to systematically disobey blind discipline, break rules only with the intention of being more positive and voice their opinions to enable evolution of consciousness to a higher positive dimension.

It is the norm to start the day early in today’s modern world. Everybody is pressurized and running to meet targets. However, this created anxiety overtime becomes a habit of the mind and the reason for increasing frustration in society, discontentment, restlessness, anger and violence.

Anxiety has to be reduced by choice to decondition the mind from feeling pressured.

Exercise Getting Up Late. Even if your eyes open, stay in bed in silence and try to meditate. Make your sleep timings flexible. Allow your body clock to shift itself and relax with the shifts. Reschedule your work. Allow the robotic mind-set to break with gaps in thinking so that the mind is forced to think differently.

You will be less angry if you rest more and overtime, be more creative. Happiness and peacefulness rises if your day starts feeling rested in your own space.

 

The following explanation is given for this radical approach to breaking mind-sets:

 

Getting up early is traditionally considered good training for survival. However, traditional thinking is based on stereotyped thinking carried over from the primitive perspective of survival. Early morning was useful for the kind of schedule which primitive man used when no work could be done after sunset.

However , in today’s word, there does not need to be stress on early mornings, as electricity is available and work can be done at nights as much as in the mornings. It was presumed that mornings are good for working in earlier times because the mind is fresh in the morning but in the modern world, the mind is stressed in the morning and no longer fresh as most people like to stay awake late at nights with electricity on. People like to use the night time for private work which could not be done in the hustle-bustle of the day. Several parents who come home late like to spend the night time with their children which they have to sacrifice to force the kids to sleep early to get up for school.  The pressure of sleeping early and getting up early causes stress to several parents and children.

Also, creative people are known to prefer working late at nights which prevents them from keeping an early morning schedule .From the perspective of  optimum brain rejuvenation also, early morning time is the best time for sleeping peacefully . Early morning sleep is supposed to be the most restful.

Early mornings is also the best time for meditation as it gives free space away from a crowd of voices and thoughts which camouflage clear thinking during the day , whether you are sleeping in bed or walking alone in free space .  Everybody does not have problems in getting up early in the morning but several people have severe problems due to an early morning schedule, which can be avoided simply by allowing them to get up later and more relaxed.

Early morning mind-set is very rigid in today’s world. However, the habit has to be broken because forcing oneself to get up from deep sleep is the reason for people feeling forced through life in every job they undertake. Feelings repeat themselves and the feeling you get up with sets the tone of the day. If you get up feeling compromised, you live feeling compromised. If you get up feeling relaxed, life appears to be a relaxing journey.

Incomplete rest during sleep is a big reason for headaches, lack of concentration, irritability in temperaments, inability to sleep peacefully at night, need for alcohol and drugs to relax, inability to focus on original thinking/creative tasks, food indigestions, diseases which get created by a habit of worrying, release of stress- related negative hormones in the body and several aggression problems of society which are a result of feeling like slaves at work.

The early morning drill makes the body feel like a running machine which suppresses peacefulness of the soul, thus reducing happiness. In semi drowsy states, the mind gets conditioned, mechanically into focusing on the first feeling it gets into repeatedly.  Getting up feeling angry and grumpy creates a negative thinking cycle which keeps rotating around a point of negative focus automatically, and external circumstances are created such that this negative focus remains maintained (By the Law of Vibrations)

A life-long cycle of stress and resentment starts because children are forced to get up when they can be trained into feeling peaceful as an energy cycle, by allowing them to get up naturally later. The violence which boys exhibit can be reduced substantially by allowing them to get up late, feeling peaceful and relaxed. The mind has to be conditioned into resting peacefully in the morning for it to remain peaceful and focused as a habit during the day.

The restlessness is forced by making children get up to work when they can be allowed to sleep in a natural state of resting.

Training children like oxen for work or donkeys to slave creates clerks in thinking who obey orders more easily than taking independent, responsible decisions.

Changing school timings to start at around 10 am would give parents, teachers, staff and children more time to relax and finish early morning chores before rushing to school.

11 a.m to 4 p.m will ensure that the same school schedule remains .If 11 a.m is too late, schools can start with timings of 10 am to 3 pm, assuming that six hours is needed in school.

Further research needs to be done on reducing the school duration to find how many hours are needed for optimum quality performance over focus on quantitative results.

Ideally, six hours of schooling is not needed. Children get very tired in a six hourly schedule .Adults work for eight hour shifts. Schools can work at four or five hour schedules for more quality work. Long school timings produce more quantity work than quality improvement in intelligence.

 A school which starts at 11 a.m can close at 4 pm and a school which starts at 10 a.m can close at 3 pm. less number of hours would motivate children to give more concentration to the hours they work. These timings need not necessarily apply to schools which have a morning shift and an afternoon shift .However , most public schools have  a single shift and can afford to make the shift in schedule to start later in the day .

 

Five days school routine is better than a six days school routine. A four day school routine is also advisable, where a day in between the week can be kept off. A holiday in between will keep spirits motivated through the week and will reduce grumbling and self -pity further, with no reduction in quality of education. The habit of practicing the drill needs to be replaced by a habit of being self - motivated so that people do not feel like slaves, in adulthood.

Quality of education cannot be measured by quantity of syllabus taught or number of hours put into school.  Several children who excel in life are drop outs from school because school discipline curbs creative thinking, due to the stress on the drill more than on enterprise.

Apeism & restlessness is being encouraged by focusing on imitative tasks than a movement towards than human evolution to a higher quality of peace & happiness. Creating a good quality of education and understanding of the mind requires teaching and rewarding patience. Increasing patience in life requires a choice to be peaceful by making changes in life-style which are creating anxiety, restlessness, anger or harassment.

New methods of focus which improve quality of education imparted would help to evolve human consciousness towards a more peaceful existence.
