Hey Open Classroom Resurfaces-Five Year Olds Know What's Best!!!
(It's the Open Classroom system that convinced me to send my now adult daughter to a private school that focused on the THREE R's)
Unschooling, a rising educational trend, has sparked intense debate online. Unlike homeschooling, unschooling rejects structured curriculums, allowing children to learn based on their interests. Prominent spiritual influencer Mami Onami recently went viral for endorsing this method, saying, "We don't teach our children anything. Everything they learn is in response to their interests or questions." Critics argue this approach lacks necessary structure and socialization. However, supporters believe unschooling promotes natural curiosity and self-directed learning. This controversy highlights the growing dissatisfaction with traditional education systems and the search for alternative, child-centered learning methods.

The RoboAgents Are Coming
Just as a three year old RoboAgents are taught passive learning in this instance is teaching a system to perform a task by showing it videos or training it on the aforementioned datasets. Active learning is exactly what it sounds like — going out and performing a task and adjusting until you get it right.

RULES TO TEACH YOUR DAUGHTER
1. Make your bed every day, even if it’s right before you get in it.
2. Don’t wear holey underwear…in case you’re in an accident and they cut your clothes off.
3. Travel light through life. Keep only what you need.
4. It’s okay to cry when you’re hurt. It’s also okay to smash (some) things; but, wash your face, clean your mess, and get up off the floor when you’re done. You don’t belong down there.
5. If you’re going to curse, be clever. If you’re going to curse in public, know your audience.
6. Seek out the people and places that resonate with your soul.
7. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
8. 5-second rule. It’s just dirt. There are worse things in a fast food cheeseburger.
9. Happiness is not a permanent state. Wholeness is. Don’t confuse these.
10. If you’re staying more than one night, unpack your bag.
11. Never walk through an alley alone.
12. Be less sugar, more spice, and only as nice as you’re able to without compromising yourself.
13. Can’t is a cop-out.
14. Hold your heroes to a high standard. Be your own hero.
15. If you can’t smile with your eyes, don’t smile. Insincerity is nothing to aspire to.
16. Never lie to yourself.
17. Your body, your rules.
18. If you have an opinion, you better know why.
19. Practice your passions.
20. Ask for what you want. The worst thing they can say is no.
21. Wish on stars and dandelions, then get to work to make them happen.
22. Stay as sweet as you are.
23. Fall in love often. Particularly with ideas, art, music, literature, food and far-off places.
24. Fall hard and forever in love with nothing but yourself.
25. Say Please, Thank You, and Pardon Me, whenever the situation warrants it.
26. Reserve “I’m sorry” for when you truly are.
27. Naps are for grown-ups, too.
28. Question everything, except your own intuition.
29. You have enough. You are enough.
30. You are amazing! Don’t let anyone ever make you feel you are not. If someone does….walk away. You deserve better.
31. No matter where you are, you can always come home.
32. Be happy and remember your roots, family is EVERYTHING.
33. Say what you mean and mean what you say.
34. No one will ever love you more than I do.
35. Be kind; treat others how you would like them to treat you.
36. If in doubt, remember whose daughter you are and straighten your crown

Writing in the online peer-reviewed journal Scientific Reports, researchers said they found that kids who spent more time playing video games than their peers over a 2-year period wound up with higher IQs as a result. ( Who financed this study?)
