WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE EDUCATION SYSTEM?

 What is wrong with the education system? Have you ever wondered what is wrong with the current education system? If you have then something even some things are definitely wrong. You sense that to your marrows. What are they?

Do you remember how you felt like a fish out of water on the day you graduated? Do you remember how lost, lonely, clueless, and small you felt? And worst of all none of your tutors who ruled your life for four years like all the other tutors you had had in the past, cared about your next step in life. Because they already knew that schools did not prepare you for life, none of you. They turned you all into blind, fearful job seekers who were ready to do everything they were told just like how you were taught in school. 

A Fish Out of Water

Yes, that was the best thing they taught you nonverbally. They taught you to do as you were told without questioning. They did not even teach you how. They filled your mind with all the useless information, not even knowledge and they called that education. Why did you agree to go through all that stupidity? Because, you had no clue who you were, why you were here, what the world was all about and you thought you might figure all that out through education. 

And life was going to tell you how wrong you were and how badly you were deceived since you lacked wisdom. Schools do not give wisdom to anyone, in fact, they are designed to abuse confused and lost individuals. And media produces more and more of those kinds of people for schools. 

And on top of all that, schools steal golden years of kids. They darken if they fail to kill kids' imagination and creativity. Tutors either punish or make fun of those kids who think, feel and behave differently from the rest. Those who are good at memorizing dry, boring information get good grades and are considered to be good students. And that is what we call education. Is this really education? Please name it yourself in your comment below if you think that this is not education. 

And those bells? What are they all about? Are kids turning into Pavlov's dogs in front of their parents' eyes? 

S.Y. Turner talks exactly about this in"Three Mountain Girls".

Three Mountain Girls by S.Y.Turner

It is one of the six books Turner produced to create the Pink Books Series. Kelly, Nelly, and Amy are the three girls who are bamboozled by the education system.  They search for the answers despite being too young. They want to be sharp, smart, and wise. But they have no clue how. You and your kids will love this life-changing book. 

It is available on Amazon, Apple, Barnes&Noble, will be on Google Play soon, too. 

MY DAD IS QUITE MAD

 "My Dad Is Quite Mad" is one of the Orange Books by S.Y.Turner that makes every great reader kid and parent wonder what could be the most expensive thing on earth. And you immediately ask Uncle Google. He says it is The International Space Station(ISS). 

Sure you laugh. In fact, you laugh your lungs out. Because you secretly sense that that is not the answer. It cannot be. Then what is it?

A Good Father? 

Partially true, because if you don't have a good father you start life already defeated. It takes ages to see what void your father or lack of him caused in you. It takes even longer to fill it or heal that void, not to mention how every culture in the world is designed to feed individuals' existent voids and open new ones. Until then you are in constant pain and you make lots of mistakes. So, it is extremely costly to have a bad father or none. But is it really what is the most expensive thing in the world? 

Orange Book by S.Y.Turner

How about a good mother? 

Well, yes. That is not the most expensive thing, that is priceless hence it is extremely rare to have a good one. If we all had good and strong mothers the world would have had fewer broken adults and been a better place. Again, the male-dominant world does not allow women to be strong, that is the main reason why fashion dictates women to be thin, nothing but thin. That is a big topic, that should be discussed here in the near future. 

A good Family? 

Sure, it is. In fact, it is hardly affordable nowadays. Not because people are poor but because people are greedy. They are not satisfied with one partner, one house, one kid, a few nice clothes, one car, one job, etc. Hence marriages don't last or end up with murder and wounded kids. 

The answer is close to a good family but it isn't exactly. The answer is hidden in the entire story S.Y.Turner tells in this little Orange Book "My Dad is Quite Mad".

HOW TO BECOME A BETTER PARENT

How to become a better parent may not be the number one concern of those who happened to produce a kid for a reason that is different from love, but surely it is for those whose first reason to have a child is love. Hence, this piece is written for those who became a parent merely out of love for love, to love, to be loved, spread love. 

Every child is unique, so is every parent, so is every home. Hence every situation you experience with your kids is unique and special. Good ones bring happiness, bad ones teach lessons and strengthen you all only if you manage to remain lovingly constructive, respectfully leading, compassionately logical, and rational all the way. 

That is the best strategy to manage any crisis and become a better parent. However, most parents who constantly seek a way to become better parents don't really know who they are. They think they know who they are but all they know is their ideal self, not their real self. Hence, every parenting technique they try to implement fails.

Parenting with love and compassion.

So, the first step to becoming a better parent is to know who you truly are. If you don't, you will end up projecting all your flaws onto your child. Work hard to free yourself from the pain of what your parents failed to give or refused to give you. Heal all the wounds they caused in you. Do not use your child as a tool to heal yourself. That is wrong and a heavy burden for any child.

Secondly, make sure your marriage is working and filled with love and compassion. If you don't have that, do not even try to have a child. If you happened to already have one or two and then work on your marriage on a daily basis as well as on yourself and your parenting skills. Remember, if there is not enough love and compassion in your home, everything you try will fail. 

Only and only then, you can read the subtext of what your kids tell you. Only and only then you can hear their silence. The Purple little book titled "Please Don't Leave Mum," by S.Y.Turner shows how kids can see, feel and hear more than you think you allow them to. Melissa, the main character of the book, tells how she feels and copes with her parents' words and actions. 

Please Don't Leave Mum

It is more effective to teach anything to your kids and transform them through story reading and analyzing it with them. And "Please Don't Leave Mum" by S.Y.Turner is a great book to start with. It is available on Amazon, Apple, and Google Play.  You will become a better parent as long as you approach your kids with love, compassion, and wisdom.

   

KIDS IN THE SYRIAN WAR

Kids in the Syrian War wonder how much longer will this war continue on, how long can they endure and what will they do after the war to recover. It has been eleven long years since it started. 

Why and how did the war begin no longer matters. Surely, those reasons people have been told repeatedly and deliberately are only apparent truths. What and who created those reasons, circumstances over a long period of time is the real truth. 

Why doesn't the Syrian War stop? 

No need to complicate the answer. The war in Syria does not stop because there are too many players involved in this war. They will not stop until they win the war. But the war will not stop even when it is won or lost. 

What does that mean? Only the women, kids, and broken families in the war know what that means. 

Kids in the Syrian War

The war reportedly has displaced 13.3 million people so far. The majority of Syrian refugees fleed to Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon. European countries received 1.3 million applications from asylum seekers. 

And despite all the destruction and damage of the war, there is still not a clear path to peace. But kids in the Syrian War need help. Help them until peace comes and stops the war in Syria.

The atrocities kids and women go through in the Syrian War are heart-stabbingly painful. 15 kids died because of the cold weather last winter. They had no coat, no socks, no shoes. A mum told her kids to walk all night long not to die due to the extreme amount of snow.  They did walk all night long without shoes or coats but they still died before dawn.

And the book "OMG! JIMMY and JENNY" by S.Y.Turner tells the story of European and Syrian kids. 

OMG! JIMMY and JENNY!

As always, S.Y. Turner has written this book in rhyme without being obsessed with it. It touches people's hearts in the most meaningful way. Get this book and help kids in the Syrian War. Available on Apple, Barnes, and Noble, Google Play, too. 

The book is also filled with great parenting tips.
