Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)

How will a student decide what is the truth if the materials are neutral or objective?

As to deciding on truth, that's up to the student, just as he/she will have to do as an adult. Information – Right or Wrong helps the student spot the differences between truth, opinions and lies. Control – You Or Them helps the student realize when outside sources are attempting to manipulate their ideas or actions. Once done, the student should start to demonstrate informed independence. This should manifest in their decision-making and opinion-generating processes. Many parents and students have attested to this result, by the way. I would again say that if an independent and aware individual is not the family goal, we're not a good fit.

As to how do they decide about things when materials they are exposed to are neutral, well, how does anyone decide anything in life? Hopefully by investigating, checking the veracity of the "info", weighing the information against what they already know or believe to be true and then making a decision. The courses mentioned along with How To Do Research all help develop this ability. This is a skill set that should really be developed in every young person if they are to survive in a very rough world.
