There’s never been a generation like today’s youngest generation.

The distractions and virtual realities have never existed in the way they do today. And to say they do not affect children would be a terrible misdiagnosis. Getting back to the basics of life will bring a balance that is not only mentally healthy, but desperately needed.

One of the ways we are endowed by our Creator with permanent freedom is regarding education, learning, or finding our path in life. Permanent, inherent freedom is the meaning of the phrase “Inalienable rights” in our constitution. It is something we are born with, and it cannot be taken away from us because it is a part of who we are. It is in our DNA to be free, to have life, and to pursue our path in life.

Education is not some “thing” that is separate from us. It is not in a building that we drive to in the car. It is not a place. It is a connection between two people or a connection between one person and an experience — which could be Nature itself, a book, a story, an experience that teaches. It is one person interacting with a new experience or information.

What is a love language?

The answer to this question will give you access to things you have never been able to reach, and understanding of people that may have seemed impossible to get along with.

In ancient times, Rome had 29 major highways which radiated out into the territories. Every city under the vast rule of the Roman Empire had a road which took them directly to Rome.

There were 372 roads in 113 provinces, covering 250,000 miles. Impressive. From any starting point in the empire, you could reach the same destination. If two people were in distant provinces, each would end up meeting in Rome because of the Roman roads.

In the same way, the destination of education has many roads that will take you there. You can choose a very different path than the rest of the population, and yet arrive at the same destination: having a well-educated child.
