Helping Teachers Teach

Admit God's Spirit back into the schools. Except the LORD build the house, they labor in vain that build it. Let the children be like Shadrack, Mischak, and Abebnego in Babylon. Let God be God to the children and the teacher.

A teacher can only give what they have. Give the teacher a love of the truth, and they can give that to their students. Give the teacher an inspired thought and they can give inspiration to their students

Give the teacher a complex background in man's wisdom of the psychology of how to teach, and they can give that to their students.

A teacher can only give what they have.

Let the teacher be inspired by God. Let the teacher have a love and delight in the subject he wants to teach. Then the students can pick that up to go along with the knowledge. A love for truth is a pre-requisite to overcoming deception and ignorance. In the last days all but the elect will be deceived because they received not a love of the truth. (Ref see 2nd Thes 2:10...with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved.) (Ref see Ephesians 4:15 speaking the truth in love,...grow up into Him in all things, which is the head, even Christ. Eph 4:15)

Let the teachers teach the truth a little bit each year about things in the child's life which he needs to know. It's good to recognize a problem and to use truth to solve and fix the problem. Like John 3:14-John 3:16 It's amazing how we emphasize John 3:16 and forget John 3:14 and its applications to the salvation of any situation.

1. Since health problems are on a strong rise due to our corrupted food supply, let the teachers teach from the first grade up, (because parents and children need to know for their health) about natural health and nutrition. Let them teach about food additives and poisons in the body and healthy foods and the differences.
And let them explain the food for the entire person, not just the body but also the soul and spirit. Words and thoughts and deeds are food to the soul and spirit, just as bread is to the body. Scripture references this with "...speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all things..." Sick children can't learn like healthy children. Sicknesses are increasing with diabetes, depression, even heart problems in children like never before. Even this false psychology of "feel good mentality" saying all is well, when it's not, that too is a symptom of sickness in America. The evolving feel good mentality needs to be replaced with a cycle of John 3:14-16. Recognizing the true problem is necessary for a good solution. Much of the problem is our physical food and in the words, advertisements, entertainment, movies, stories, and trash that enters into the eyes, ears, minds, and hearts of children daily. Garbage in equals garbage out. Simple equation. Why can't teachers apply it in school?! Parents, the reason is you. You have let go the reins and given control over your children to government. Stand up. Fight for your children's rights to learn the truth, and the teachers privilege to teach it.

So long as you the parents are acquiescent, the system will continue to steam-roll your children's learning.

Such teaching would show students strong connections between "learning" and their own well-being. That's a good start towards a desire to learn. And that desire can carry over to other things. As well it should. One who has mastered a skill or an area is usually able to transfer those same learning skills to another area. But those who are allowed to flop through a course only learn floppiness to carry over to other areas. Both are contagious.

The truths of God and history were traded for psychology and rationalizations and current opinions. Replace some contemporary relativisms with the absolutes of God and you'll find many problems can be solved.

And the list goes on.

Teach the children again the basics of reading. No wonder that students now read at a fraction of the rate of fifty years ago. Give them again a dictionary with long definitions and history of words. Give the teacher a course in rapid reading and give her a Webster's Dictionary of the American Language from his first or second edition, reprinted.

Show the teacher how to use an old fashioned double balance scale and how to use it to teach algebra. No wonder that a graduate with two years of algebra can't solve an equation. They just don't get the picture.

Give the teacher a copy of Original Intent by David Barton. Let them be exposed to my compilation of a history of changes in law and education. No wonder that students don't know how the First Amendment used to be applied (before 1948).

Give beauty and the child's eye's will light up.
Give order and beauty and the child will see the pattern.
Give a light for the child to see, and the child will light up with a desire to see and know and consider and understand.
See Isaiah 41:20

Let the light shine. Show the beginning and the end of a thing so a child can understand from whence it came and where it's going. So much today is taught just on where the leaves are now blowing in the wind. The seed, the root, the plowing,... that's all omitted far too often. Isolated facts for testing does not a wise child make.

You parents could help the teachers so much if you just gave back to them what they used to have. Liberty to teach from the Bible.
An original history book in story form, not dictionary form like today's history books.
A double balanced scale and equal weights to demonstrate the equal sign of equations and much more.

True and complete history of American law and money and food and schools.

A respect for patterns.

Lessons from nature are to be preferred over "virtual-man-made" lessons.

Observe what can be learned from dropping a pebble into a pond. And much more from nature for so very small cost.

The chemistry of your kitchen and home can be taught by one and be as dull as dullards can be, or it could be taught as an exciting eye-opening experience by the right kind of teacher.

Parents are you overseeing at all what goes on in your school? Help the teachers. Give the good ones your support.
