Education vs Schooling,
Evaluation vs Admiration,
Guiding vs Teaching
The Second Course in a Series of Ten

This is the second course in our Parent/Tutor Teacher Program.   As is true of all of the courses in this program, you will need the book Poor Cheated Little Johnny   to do the course.

We've all been taught that critique and evaluation are central to education.  We were lied to.  There is a far better and happier way to educate, and this course not only covers that method in detail, but prepares you to successfully employ it.  The key is found in the course's title.  There is a real difference between education and schooling, between guiding a student and teaching, and certainly between the use of a critical or evaluative approach in education, versus one that is based on admiration.  This course helps the teacher really understand each approach, how to avoid the critique-based methods we've all been exposed to for over 100 years, and how to focus on a real education based on admiration of the student and their accomplishments.

There is no more powerful tool available to a teacher than admiration, which is why this course is made available as the second of ten.  Most of us believe in some form of the Golden Rule — but it is rarely applied to how we treat students.  This course will help you open the door to a far better working relationship with your students, and will help enable you to produce better results as a teacher.

When first presented, we offered the first course 'The Goals of Education' for free as way of introduction to our Parent/Teacher Program.  Though the video may state that the course is for free, it no longer is available for free.  Thank you!
