Join us tonight for a fascinating conversation about the inter-generational revolution that can truly change our planet for the better.

ADHD by the Numbers: Facts, Statistics, and You
https://www.healthline.com/health/adhd/facts-statistics-infographic
– Males are almost three times more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than females.
– During their lifetimes, 13 percent of men will be diagnosed with ADHD. Just 4.2 percent of women will be diagnosed.
– The average age of ADHD diagnosis is 7 years old.
– Symptoms of ADHD typically first appear between the ages of 3 and 6.
– ADHD isnโt just a childhood disorder. About 4 percent of American adults over the age of 18 deal with ADHD on a daily basis.
…
An estimated 6.4 million American children ages 4 to 17 have been diagnosed with ADHD. The incidence of ADHD is higher in some states than others.
…
Currently, 6.1 percent of American children are being treated for ADHD with medication. Some states have higher rates of treatment with medication than others. About 23 percent of American children who have been diagnosed with ADHD arenโt receiving medicine or mental health counseling for their disorder.
…
Cost is a major factor when it comes to how a condition affects someone. Treatment plans and medications can be expensive, and planning around payment can be stressful. A study from 2007 suggested that the โcost of illnessโ for a person with ADHD is $14,576 each year. That means ADHD costs Americans $42.5 billion dollars each year โ and thatโs on the conservative side of ADHD prevalence estimates.
How โUnschoolingโ Can Benefit your child and the world
https://www.thedailybell.com/all-articles/news-analysis/how-unschooling-can-benefit-your-child-and-the-world/
Unschooling is a way of life that serves the individual from childhood all the way through adulthood, forming a purposeful, productive member of society. The assumption of the unschooler is that they do not learn. If you were to scratch the surface, you would see a deep-rooted love of active learning.
The unschooling movement is a respectful, peaceful revolution that has the potential to change the world in a single generation. Leaving our children with a better world is the ideal dream of most parents and by respecting and trusting our children, it can become a reality. Through unschooling, the individual will be given an invaluable set of tools to change and shape a new world.

All over the world the message is the same.
You are very much welcome. Share it around, I had good luck with youboob suggestions but probaly because I was looking into water filtration systems (one very efficiently built by Jon) instead of this freedom yada yada claptrap.
New York City Will Change Many Selective Schools to Address Segregation
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/18/nyregion/nyc-schools-admissions-segregation.html
Middle schools will see the most significant policy revisions. The city will eliminate all admissions screening for the schools for at least one year, the mayor said. About 200 middle schools โ 40 percent of the total โ use metrics like grades, attendance and test scores to determine which students should be admitted. Now those schools will use a random lottery to admit students.
In doing this, Mr. de Blasio is essentially piloting an experiment that, if deemed successful, could permanently end the cityโs academically selective middle schools, which tend to be much whiter than the district overall.
From a recent JP Sears newsletter (a fresh father point of view)
Raising brave kids
Fatherโs day is upon us and itโs my first one. Happy fatherโs day to you too! And if youโre not a dad, then Iโd invite you to identify as a father to help make it about you.
This occasion has had me thinking. Whatโs the MOST IMPORTANT lesson I can teach my son? If I had to pick just one? If you think itโs “blame other people for your problems” or “let other people rule over you” or “be as obedient as possible” then you guessed incorrectly. Iโm not a sheep farmer.
I finally came up with what resonates as the single most important lesson I can teach my son. BE BRAVE.
Bravery means doing what your heart knows is right for the greater good. I believe whatโs for the greater good is always in turn whatโs for the individualโs greater good.
By the time my son is walking into his adulthood, if I can instill in him how to listen to his own heart and let his words and actions be aligned with his heart, then he will be brave.
Hereโs a potentially not so delusional opinion for you, perhaps the worst way to teach our kids bravery is through our words only. The lesson will not be learned.
Iโve realized as a parent, to teach kids bravery it must be modeled to them through actions. Not once, not every once in a while, not even three times. It must be modeled for them every damn day.
They need to see dad with unapologetic conviction standing up for whatโs right, even if itโs not popular, and especially when itโs scary to do so. They need to feel dad be afraid and do the thing anyway. They need to feel dadโs energy become stronger, because he did the damn thing. They need to see, hear, taste, and feel dad being a force for good in the family, community, and the world. They need to hear what it sounds like when dad flushes fear based obedience down the toiletโฆ If you want to teach your kids to be brave.
Realizing this Iโm doing my best to be a better embodier of bravery everyday for my son. Whether itโs having the tough conversation with my wife rather than avoiding it or being more bold with my work and devotion to helping humanity. And if gifting your children with the lessons of bravery is important to you, Iโd invite you to be committed to be a little bit of a better embodier of bravery everyday.

Centner academy: Don’t get angry about what’s happening in the world. Do something. Build your own systems, build your own community. We are building our own community, we are building our tribe.
The academy has stayed open during lockdowns and has purchased land and is growing their own food and is introducing children to farming and teaching them how to run their own businesses.
“Health center” prescribes zoloft to a teen for depression and gives her the tablets in an unlabeled bag. Father pulls the teen out of the school. School apparently has nothing to do with the center. The center sends CPS over. It’s here, folks.

Alex Newman on schools indoctrinating children to death

A tragic case of a child that got hooked on phonics.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBJR03BORRQ
Daughter: What’s going on guys?
Mother: This isn’t easy to say…
Father: Your mother and I think you are hooked on phonics.
D: It’s preposterous.
M: I’ve found it under your pillow [holds a book titled “A dictionary of contemporary American usage”]
D: I just read that for the pictures.
F: There are no pictures in a dictionary!
D: That’s your opinion.
F: Just admit it, you are hooked on phonics!
D: OK, you got me, I’m hooked on phonics.
F: You go…
M: Sweetie, we love you. When your father and I saw that hooked on phonics was still helping millions of families and teachers help kids learn to read we decided to try it. 30 days later you were reading and spelling…
D: Dad, don’t you think mom is being a little melodramatic?
F: Don’t talk to you mother that way… I think.
D: Do you know what that means?
F: That’s not the point. The point is, when you are hooked on phonics, yes you can read and spell better than most kids your age, but if you are too smart, you make people uncomfortable.
D: Nietzsche said that sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions destroyed.
F: Give me that.
M: Nietzsche? What’s… oh, I always though Nietzsche was a pasta.
F: It is. Nietzsche carbonara.
D: Nietzsche is a German philosopher. Everybody knows that.
F: There has to be some middle ground here.
D: That’s called a compromise and compromise leads to resentment.
F: So does using words that your parents don’t understand.
M: Okay, hooked on phonics only costs us a dollar to get started and hooked on spelling comes without [I’m guessing here, the word is a bit inaudible] a subscription, so how about this? You get to keep your hooked on phonics, but you can only use words that dad, and I, can understand.
D: This is stupendous!
F: Go put a dollar in the swear jar!
