Besides her role at Dartmouth Associates, Ceci stays focused in the gym with her powerlifting routines. She loves anything outdoors and never turns down a new place to hike. She continues to challenge herself by learning coding in her spare time. One fun fact about her is that when she was little she wanted to race for Nascar and that passion remains as she tries to keep her muscle car under 100 mph.

Dear Readers,

I write this as we enter the morn of 2023, and as with any start of the new year, most of us see this as a time of both reflection of the previous year and the promise of new beginnings. That said, I would like, this time, for all of us who are privileged to be in the field of education, as a year of action. I ask that we all seek to courageously influence those within our spheres of influence and begin a systemic change in education. We must aggressively push schools to offer children a place where their potential is boundless in any direction they choose to pursue.

For over 100 years whether private or public, our educational systems continue to be hamstrung by the legacies created by industrialists, John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie. They saw education as a way to inculcate the masses with limited personal expectation of achievement so they could best serve the wealthy in stultifying employee roles. In 1902 John Rockefeller created the General Education Board which poured millions of dollars into creating these types of curriculums. In fact, in 1946 they even donated a $7.5 billion to continue to advance this cause. This agenda was chillingly articulated by Rockefeller…

“I don’t want a nation of thinkers; I want a nation of workers.”

– John D Rockefeller

His Director of Charities went even further to flesh out what they felt was the true purpose of education…

“In our dream we have limitless resources, and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hand. The present educational conventions fade from our minds; and, unhampered by tradition, we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive rural folk. We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or of science. We are not to raise up among them authors, orators, poets, or men of letters. We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians. Nor will we cherish even the humbler ambition to raise up from among them lawyers, doctors, preachers, statesmen, of whom we now have ample supply.”

– Frederick T Gates, Director of Charities, Rockefeller Foundation

While independent education in schools and colleges now offers far more bandwidth to their curriculums than public education, the inherent structure still offers little latitude for students to control what they truly are interested in to enhance their own proclivities and traits. While it is difficult for individual schools or teachers to completely upend years of structure overnight, individual teachers must look to customize their approach to the specific interests of each student. You must be willing to get out of the comfort zone of a standard methodology and be willing to give your student a unique road map. Remember, you will be allowing them to fulfill the destiny of their God-given abilities. We want to give them the belief that their personal futures are theirs to control.

I was recently shopping at our local supermarket, and I saw a middle-aged man and a woman stocking a pallet of canned goods on their hands and knees wearing their store-issued kneepads. The skills to perform this task could have been accomplished by a 6th grader. These folks, as graduates of standardized educational programs, found themselves without the skills to pursue their personal passions. They are left toiling away their life with no real future other than to pay living expenses.

We are a country with the technology to send rockets into the atmosphere and safely return our astronauts back to earth. Yet, for some reason, we are unwilling to automate the distribution of groceries from the distribution centers to the trucks, to the loading docks onto the shelves… Is this because there is enough of a needy, unskilled workforce that we have no reason to automatize?

As educators, we must start to promote small changes, which will hopefully create stimulating learning environments sparking creativity and imagination and the will and courage to follow one’s dreams and ideas. Hopefully, such generations will have the skills to create a higher quality of life accessible to all. We have so much to be grateful for, so let’s take stock in our blessings and take action for the world!

As always, our team and I thank you, our loyal readers, contributors and advertisers, for allowing us to be a part of your lives. I hope that you have all had a warm and serene holiday season with your family and friends, and that we will all make 2023 a year of personal and professional growth. Not just for us, but for our future generations.

Warmest personal regards,

As we enter the new year with fresh resolutions of progress and betterment as our roadmap to next December, let us keep in sight the burdens we have dragged with us. It behooves us to relieve these burdens as much as possible, not just from our shoulders, but from those we affect.

The new year has already seen a slew of mass terrorism incidents blankchecked by America’s gun lobby. It’s astounding that for one of the world’s most developed countries, destructive products and their profits hold such great sway over the lives of so many innocent people.

The issue of police defunding rears its head again with another beating to death of a young, black life, Tyre Nichols.’ Meanwhile the pandemic still wages its war, while workers seem to earn hard-won salaries merely to pay off their student debt, and Russia threatens us with a third world war.
