Our education system: How did we get here? Where are we going?
Not very long ago most of us were farmers, and our children helped in all aspects of farm work. In that simple world, where children congregated from sparsely settled communities into one-room schoolhouses, the ‘three Rs’ were enough to get us by.

Teaching through empathy
In the San Jose school system, Joanne Lauck feeds children’s spirits with wonders from nature, particularly the insect world.

The dream of creativeness
I have a dream, to coin a phrase. It is that human creativeness will become the agreed objective of political economy. Creativeness is more fulfilling and inclusive than happiness.

An educational renaissance
Our children are bored at best with the old way, and in the worst-case scenarios, they are being deeply damaged by a system that runs totally counter to their natures.

Why Ritalin makes me MAD!
Dr Shabeer Jeeva left some of his audience gob-smacked when he launched forth on the treatment of ADHD in adults recently.

Dumbing us down
What if it could be absolutely proved to you that the education system was designed by financiers who felt that self-reliant, self-educated citizens made poor factory workers and rotten consumers?

Concentration, Memory and Mental Sharpness
When it comes to exams, or the need to focus while driving or the need to work late to study, what can one do to ensure one’s nervous system is able to cope?

Essential Fatty acids
Flax vs. Fish Oil

An Emergent School Curriculum
Is school about learning how to become a lawyer or doctor? Or is school about learning a skill? Or is school just a ‘place’ in which learning happens?

The flip side of ambition
Getting the best balance in life is not easy… making the hard choices needs thought and planning.

For years, a network of fake citizens’ groups and bogus scientific bodies has been claiming that the science of global warming is inconclusive.

A menopause report
Sally Longden always recommends trying natural progesterone therapy first.
