Talking Re: For the Kids!

This is my area of expertise. I am a music teacher of ten years' experience as well as a father of two and the parent of an autistic child.

Homeschooling is definitely an option. There are lots of online support networks for homeschooled children. Just be aware that many homeschool families choose homeschooling because of their fundamentalist Christian beliefs that are not supported in public schools.

There are also some outrageous out-of-the-box schools that are pioneering new ways of doing things. I just started a new teaching job at one of them. It is a public K-12 charter cyber school. Students take classes over the internet from home, and then in 5th grade begin travelling twice a week to a performing and fine arts center where they have total immersion in art, dance, drama, and music for an entire school day. We attract the eclectic, unusual, and the driven student. http://www.palcs.org

Another outrageous school is the Children's School of Excellence in Yelm, Washington. It is a K-8 public charter school that has "mind over matter" as part of the curriculum.

There are alternatives out there. Simply keep your intent in mind and search - the possibilities will drop out of the quantum field and land in your lap.

I am applying all I have learned about neurology and quantum physics in my music classroom as well as in the articles I'm writing for my own personal website. The new frontier of education for our children is combining the latest science with ancient wisdom. I am also exploring the connection between music, sacred geometry, the lost solfeggio scale, binaural beats, and fractal geometry.

My friends, the time for fear and separation is over. Start following your passions and thinking NEW thoughts that take you beyond the changes to come. If you are growing and uncovering your own personal unknowns, your children can only benefit. They, after all, are you.

Love/Light, Light/Love,
