Psi in School

[damuragg]

Since psi get better with time and practice I think it should be taught to kids at a young age. Mainly starting off with meditation classes, then to the psi wheel and psi ball. You basically get where i'm going i hope. What do you think?

Like I said, elementary and middle school should be used for the core classes. As in high school you should stick to core classes, but you have a choice of electives. So maybe there could be a psi elective class in high schools and colleges. But yougnins should wait till later schooling to learn it, unless they stumble upon it by themselves, and if they do, then good for them

ok i can see what you saying but what about at least meditation for 9 10 and 11 year olds probably a lil lucid dreaming just to get em into it. All im trying to say is that everything a human beings is capable of doing should be taught. We were given this as a tool and etc just like eyes to look.

Yes elementary so they can be stronger in the Future

I think high school, and as an elective.

No. people that young have short attention spans and wouldn't be able to stick with it, because they'd be like "Why is this taking so long." And they would give up. I'm sticking by what I said that they should wait until high school. I think that older people with more maturity would be able to take something like this more seriously than younger kids. Of course there are a few who do take it seriously at a young age, but for the most part, no. Something like this isn't meant as a toy, or to be used as one. And I think that most of the kids who won't or couldn't take this seriously, would use it like a toy, and maybe throw constructs at people to give them headaches or worse, because they think it's "Funny". I'm sticking by what I said originally. It should be an elective in high school or college.

Well I'm not so worried about the kids wondering why they are doing this or how long this will take, I'm more worried about the teacher. This is extremely hard to teach and most teachers can't teach math, reading, writing and so on. It would be hard to get good teachers and I don't want the kids learning the wrong thing.

That's a good point.

That's true. But I'm sure there are some good teachers out there. If you really feel that way, maybe you should get a teaching job and teach this subject? I mean it would be an awesome experience I think. Plus, you'd get to be around others all day. The only problem I would ever see with that, is the students getting out of hand

[Dumplins]

Yeah high school as an elective sounds much better.

[JediKaren]

how would you grade this? what would be the lesson plan? How do you teach the skill or do you teach about the skill? What do you with people that have very little talent with tk or empathy?

[stolide]

I don't think psionics can be graded well. You could have the students write reports on psionics and grade those however.

[JediKaren]

for public schools, that must go through a state approval, that won't be enough. Also what about the parents? How do you get parent support? What about text books? Homework?

[damuragg]

Well just like missionaries get people to come to church. 1st by meetings were you can explain psi to them and demonstration of course and why this is important.

JediKaren: For your 1st project I want yall to learn to move the psi wheel at home just the way i taught you here. Oh yeah, I want this done on Friday.

Student: Sheesh projects already. Its the first day of school!!!!

[JediKaren]

lol silly newbie. It doesn't work that way. For some people it will take them literally weeks before they can get the wheel to titch.
