The education is an important aspect in our life. Every child has to go to school from a certain age. It has been made many discussions about the good and bad sides of our education system, but they mostly consider our career.
We learn many useful things in school, but there is a clear spiritual lack. Nelson Mandela says that Education is a weapon which we can use to change the world. What will happen, if this weapon is used wrongly? In most cases the school teaches unsuspectingly that the world only consists on 'winning' and 'failing'.

What will happen, if this weapon is used wrongly? In most cases the school teaches unsuspectingly that the world only consists on 'winning' and 'failing'.
In fact 'winning' and 'failing' are only concepts which we make up in our minds. The school system says: 'If you dont do your job, you fail!' Thats why many students live in permanent fear of failure and fear of not being recognized in the community. In some cases this fear lives along a lifetime. And if fear raises, it becomes dangerous.
Psychologist discovered that all kind of fears share the same origin: Death. The fear of death pushes us to react in specific situations. It is okay to be afraid of something, but if fear becomes an addiction which follows somebody along his life, it becomes dangerous for people around him and especially for himself.
For example: If you have a wife and children, and you believe you are the 'Boss' of them, your fear awakes if they dont give you 'your earned' respect. In that case, your 'fear-mind' becomes activated and it is trying to push you to act. Because your status is under danger, YOU are under danger since you identified with your status. Then you may become violentic because you want to escape 'death'. You may not understand this because this happens subcounsiously. Thats the reason why there are violence against women and children.
Why did I explain this all? I personally dont like talking about problems, but my personal philosophy is: Every problem comes with a solution. Let's discuss how we can work for humanity by using our 'school-weapon'.
1) Love
Give children your Love as teachers. Never try to control them by threatening. Don't use words like 'IF you don't do what I say, you have to go to the headmaster.' Don't turn it into a fight, children are not pets. If you teach them how to be threatening, they will be threatening in their own lifes. Very simple.
2) Leading
'Leading' is the opposite of 'controlling'. Try to be their friend. If they insult you, just say: 'I feel bad because of your words'. Children have pure hearts, they will understand it deeply. I never forget what my teacher in Austria told me when I did not listen to her. She explained why my behaviour is not good and how she felt about my action. Then she smiled at me. After this I listened to her everytime when she was talking, because I felt deep respect towards her. It may also effect the relationships of workers and employers in a good way.
3) Control yourself
If you want the world to be a better world, try to be a good example for kids. 'Be the change you want to see in the world.' (Ghandi). Show the children that there is more then 'winning' and 'losing'. Our school system always wants good results, so the teachers have to met these expactations.
Not only the school system, the whole modern world want us to be like Robots. Somebody with a 'higher status' (which is a lie) says: 'DO THİS' and we are doing it. We became slaves of our own system. We became cowards. The world needs people with pure mind and heart. Only these people can change the world. If you are not one of those people, you have no right to complain about disease, wars, starvation, and all kinds of bad things.
4) Freedom
Shorten the school hours. Give freedom to children, they need freedom to develope themselves psychologically and physically. Our society is full of people who lack on personal development. Thats why there are so many self-improvement books (which almost never work). Something our system doesn't want to understand is: there is more then just money. The state wants to 'use' us to gain money. The state wants to pump informations into us, so they can 'produce' money. And the children are the best victims. More hours mean more money.
The whole system is built up on Money. If we want to solve a problem, firstly we have to know the problem. I don't want to write solutions which can never happen, like many writers do. I admit that it is very difficult to change this system. And we live in a time where people lose themselves in entertainment, in football and in other things, and it's wonderful. Our forefathers hadn't got the chance to use time for entertainment. But in case of Change, nobody cares. And that's why the system spend so much money into entertainment. They want people who just don't care about the world, about others so they gain money, money, and money again. That's why we need more people who work for humanity, not for gaining respect, just because they want to choose the right thing.
I said that we have to demonstrate love, to lead, to be a good example, and to give space and freedom for a healthy development. We can raise the number of things we can do. I wanted to show you that there is a problem which can be solved. I can't hold myself of telling this: We are the problem. If you can't change, nobody can change. If you can change, everybody can change!
