*Bringing back the one-room schoolhouse?

*Bringing back the [http://openlibrary.org/b/OL1429394M/universal_schoolhouse one-room schoolhouse]?

   

   

Vicki:  It brings to mind when there was a time in our history, where we had one-room schoolhouses, where children of all ages and abilities and genders were taught in one-room, usually by one teacher, and though at that time that was pretty limiting, children did have the experience of teaching one another.  Nowadays, maybe with more immediate access to resources and to people, I’m wondering if this is a viable option again.  Do you see this as a possible application in the future for education?

MONJORONSON:  Most definitely.  This is truly an extension of the family learning environment, or multi-family, extended family learning environment.  What has happened in your culture, your educational system is the extreme segmentation and compartmentalization of specialties.  And you are now trying to get back to the integrated base, where children who are disabled become a part of the larger group.  In the one-room schoolhouse situation you described, everyone in the room becomes acquainted with those who are disabled, and those who are brilliant; those who are crippled physically and mentally, and those who have exceptional skills, mentally, physically and socially, and so these one-room schoolhouses reflect the reality of your larger society, and this is where your educational system is trying to get back to.  Having older children, who are experienced and capable, teach those who are younger and less capable.  This resembles the educational system that you will experience in the afterlife as a morontial being, going through hundreds and hundreds of levels of education.  Those who know, teach.  Those who do not know are taught, and so on, so that always you are the student, become the teacher, who is still the student.

There is so much to learn in the universe, and in your society.  The one-room schoolhouse provides an environment where you learn to cooperate, coordinate, get along, produce, become effective, or become disengaged, disenchanted and disenfranchised and sometimes in the worst cases, you are exiled by the group.  This is a rarity in those larger one-room schoolhouse situations, though it seems to be an extension that is accepted in your current compartmentalized, linear educational system.  You want to use the very best of the one-room schoolhouse as a continuing educational situation, and sending the children apart for specialized training that they need.  They learn the wholeness of their society, and they learn to overcome their handicaps, and they also learn how to fully develop their potentials with other individuals, who can create competition for them, which is a positive aspect on occasion.

Vicki:  Thank you.  With that question, I would like to end this session and truly thank you, Monjoronson, because I feel we have covered some ground here that will direct us toward a much more sustainable educational institution.  We’ve covered many, many areas today.  The depth of your answers and the wisdom behind them, is going to help all of us, tremendously, as we map this out.
