Today its clearer than ever before that for a majority of children in our society the activity of being separated from parents for a number of hours each day is a traumatic experience.  It could be seen as a grand waste of a lot of valuable time to.  That is if you look at the length of time it takes to complete a days lessons at home in comparison the number of hours at a school.  This figure is dramatically reduced in a one on one situation.

Read the following interesting article regarding the unschooling of a school (brainwashed) child.  It is a process and its worth while.

Why Every Parent Should Consider Unschooling

A Peripatetic School

Aristotle - Image link

Now that is an interesting name for a school.  It was a school of Philosophy in Ancient Greece.  The schools teachings were from its founder Aristotle who was a Greek philosopher.

The school originally derived its name Peripatos (Greek: Περίπατος) from the peripatoi (περίπατοι, "colonnades") of the Lyceum in Athens where the members met. A similar Greek word peripatetikos (περιπατητικός) refers to the act of walking, and as an adjective, "peripatetic" is often used to mean itinerant, wandering, meandering, or walking about.

After the death of Aristotle it became known that he was a "peripatetic" lecturer.   All this meant was that he wandered around while he spoke and taught.  Interesting word though with it being so close to sounding like someone was saying "Very Pathetic" with a lisp instead it is 'Peripetetic'.

AGL Upset the Barrington Mothers.

These companies think nothing of the complex psychological tactics they use to entice the kids to be the ones to put the pressure on the parents in the end.

These companies like AGL employ people who are top in their field at devising situations that put families in a value judgement situation.  This is even more complex when the parents are against the push to damage the ecosystem with CSG Mining.   This mining is the bottom line for all the crawling to the public and it is to make themselves look good in the public eye.  Once they fund things at the hospital - how can you hate them then?  This is very divisive indeed.

The end result to keep family peace, the parents end up bowing to the seemingly harmless demands of the child.  All of this is because people lead busy lives and its easier to give in than to have a confrontation. 

These confrontations with children are around the fact that if you go with AGL you will get free soccer registration or football registration etc etc.  This is a form of Psy Ops on the parents.

I don't think people see it as bad as I do. 

This goes much much deeper than a few balloons handed out at the show what has brought AGL into serious disrepute with all of the parents is because they used photos of the children in an advertisement without consent.

One of the mothers Jenni O'Neill sent an email to the Education Department regarding the situation because the Department has a duty of care to the children.   The children were on a school excursion to the show and AGL handed them balloons and photographed them next to an air conditioner AGL  had donated to the school and then proceeded to put the add in the local paper.   All of this was done with out telling the parents of the children and was a breach of department policy on commercial points and they were well out of order to not gain consent from parents first and foremost regarding photographs.

Read Mike Wests Article in the Newcastle Herald.

 I think he is my hero actually because lately this man has been telling all the truth about these companies and he is being allowed to get away with this.  I love it though and each day I eagerly await to see what he has written.   My friend and I think he deserves some sort of literary award for his recent efforts reporting the truths about the missing letter to the EPA and Robyn Parker and all of her bad deals.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

  I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, -  I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!  -   and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death

Elizabeth Barrett Browning.  1806 - 1861 

The year ten classes at Bellingen High School celebrated their formal on the 11.11.11.  What a great date.  I was kept away and I wasn't able to get photographs with my beautiful daughter in order to memorialize this event for us all. 

I all wasn't asked to join her at the Belling High School Clapper's (Awards)  either and I wanted to be apart of this so badly as well. I punish myself because I find it difficult to not feel that I just wasn't good enough. I missed out on seeing her do all of this enormous awesomeness.  I was so proud of her too. 

My heart is just breaking even more each day and I don't think I can stomach much more pain in my earthly body.
