OUR PRESENT CORRUPT LEADERS GRADUATED FROM OUR PRESENT DEFECTIVE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM Mayo G. Lopez, Kuku T. Lopez, Joe B. Javier, Bing Yogore, Perlas Ng Silanganan, Gilda Socorro Cosio Salita, Eric Halcon, Herman Hoover L. A, Jim Paredes, Rose Marie Marfil Verdote, Mike Limjap, Neal Tieng Our educational system rewards only those who they believe to be intelligent or smart and neglects less intelligent, dumb students. In reality, it only educates the smartest. In a set-up where we classify, separate, and label students through tests and grades, our educational system will not progress until we let go of the notion that there is such a thing as a dumb student. Schools should remember that they should encourage students to make more mistakes so as to make their learning more meaningful. Our country is in a mess because we have people running our government, businesses, and other institutions, who graduated with flying honors by memorizing their answers but do not know how to think properly and critically. As Sharif Abdullah said in “Creating a World that Works for All”, “Remember: the problem is not The Mess: the problem is the consciousness that creates The Mess. The solution therefore, must be an alternative state of consciousness.” We need to transform students into better persons by creating new levels of consciousness. We have to be able to make them think using the whole brain and thereby attain self-mastery. We have to help students discover their true calling wherein they can attract a world of abundance, love and happiness. We have to teach them how to overcome crisis and weather the storms of life. We have created an educational system that instead of helping inspire students to develop and achieve their maximum potentials, we instead planted seeds of fear, failure, and disappointment. -Tato Malay, I AM Kamalayan Movement
