Mike Carter and all! Yes, the point is well taken--parents should teach the
kids and send them to school ready to learn. THEY ARE NOT DOING SO! So,
should we bitch about it, or consider that 40% of hi school grads are
illiterate and try to do something about THAT? Point #1: Peorian school
district has a high percentage of "unlikely" students--bi-lingual, farm
labor kids, etc. Yet, using a cheap (inexpensive) program of phonics, they
teach to a higher grade level of reading, writing, comprehension, etc., than
the state avedrage. #2: High school freshman classes regularly include 3 to
5% of LITERATE kids--kids who learned to read and write in the primary
grades.--How did they do that? lets find out, maybe it will work on the
other 95 to 97%. --Plz excuse the typos: I don't know how to edit.--

Time is nothing more than a measurement of the interval between two occuring
events. We have had this discussion before, of course.
As for atomic clocks, the extremely small difference in the rate of
operation of the clocks (not the rate of the passage of "time") was most
likely the result of mechanistic variations, including gravity and other
common Newtonian effects, some relating to motion, as well as other, less
obvious factors. When you say that gravitational effects were taken into
account, I expect you to prove it, and furthermore, prove that the margin of
error in such accountability was less than the actual difference in the
clocks.
You have to ask yourself, Roger, if a clock runs slower on an airplane than
it does on the ground, what is causing the change? Mechanistic cause and
effect, of course, not some imaginary and superfluous entity such as a "time
continuum." You need a shave.
Oh, and Roger, exactly what is it, in your opinion, that causes the
difference in the operation of the clocks? I mean, what specific force
causes "time" to slow down on airplanes? Does the velocity of the plane
matter, or just the altitude? Is it bigger than a breadbox?

I have no quarrel with the math, since I am unqualified to evaluate it;
there is nothing controversial about it in any case; I'm sure it's correct.
It is your interpretation of the math, the conclusions you draw from it,
that I find suspect. Mathematics proves nothing; it merely expresses
relationships based on axioms.
Time is a measurement of the interval between two occuring events. The
interval is itself composed of other events; whether those events consist of
falling grains of sand, the oscillations of a quartz crystal, or periods of
radiation corresponding to the transition between two, specific, hyperfine
levels of the fundamental state of an isotope, is inconsequential.
Time is ALWAYS a quantification of occuring events; how could it be
otherwise?

Subject: Learning
Date: 04/16/90 Time: 01:08:04
I've heard a number of bad things about how Arizona schools don't do a good
job of teaching, and this naturally concerns me. Yet my daughter, who is
six, has spent this year in a transition class at Greenbrier school (Deer
Valley district) and can already read quite well. (She entered kindergarten
almost a year younger than most other kids, hence the transition class.) So
far I have no complaints at all.
Children LOVE to learn. They instinctively ask questions and demand to know
things from the age of three and even younger. It's true that one must
often work hard to learn things, yet children have a natural motivation that
drives them to learn. It should only be necessary to support and encourage
this urge. When children don't learn, it's because they been taught by
adults to lose sight of the fact that learning and knowledge and thinking
are not only a vital source of strength in coping with the world, but that
they are FUN.
I hear bad things about poor teachers and unmotivated teachers and teachers
whose main reason for being in the profession is that it's a power trip, and
no doubt there are some of these (I've met one or two). But I definitely
believe that the home environment is the whole key to kids realizing their
potential. How many of the parents value and really enjoy learning? How
many parents read to their kids, or even read anything of significance
themselves? And, most important, how many parents use their children as
friends and partners in exploring the world?
For a start, many of the parents do not value learning for its own sake, for
the satisfaction they could get out of it. But on top of that, the
questions kids ask and the things they want to discuss can be very
challenging -- and therefore threatening. How many parents ask THEMSELVES
such questions? These questions may be threatening in one of two ways.
First, because the parent doesn't know the answer. Why IS the sky blue? A
classic question. It has a good scientific answer; but how many average
people know it? If the parent doesn't know the answer and has the wrong
attitude, he or she might feel like a dummy in front of the kid, and firmly
discourage such intelligent questions. Why is an adult supposed to know
everything? A vital and intelligent person never stops learning. Why not
find out together?
A second type of question is probably worse, because it challenges the
parent's values and beliefs, or enters areas the parent would rather not
talk about. Sex (and drugs) fall into this category. But there are other
questions. Why should we not steal or tell lies or hit people? What do we
do when someone insists on hitting us? Why do we have a government? Why do
you cheat on your income tax? (Good question for the 15th of April.) And
who is this God person anyway? (with apologies to Douglas Adams). The
answers to these questions, along with those on history and geography and
math and English, help someone to develop a coherent and integrated
philosophy of life.
If large significant areas are placed out of bounds,
nothing fits; knowledge becomes disjointed and irrelevant because it doesn't
connect to anything else. So why bother to learn?
One reason often given for education is that "you can get a better job and
make lots of money". But this is not a sufficient reason for all that work.
Why do something you hate all your life just to make money? Life then
becomes a meaningless grind. Actually the people who make the most money
are usually doing something they are motivated to do for other reasons --
power, achievement, discovery, creativity, whatever. Even those who don't
make lots of money can get genuine satisfaction out of what they do do. The
very best reason for learning is that it is satisfying in itself. How many
kids are taught this fact at home?

Parents can help. I could read when I went into school. Not really well, but
I understood. A friend was also taught at home, but her mother had more time
to do it, so she was really literate when she hit school.
But, now, I know two couples with young children.
One couple has a son that is 3. He is discouraged at every turn from asking
questions, and certainly hasn't been taught to read. He does know some of
the things that he will encounter in kindergarten, but...
Another couple has a daughter who is 6. She is in kindergarten. Both her
parents are VERY intelligent. Yet, she didn't learn to read until she hit
preschool. Preschool isn't a bad idea, it just doesn't make up for the lack
of parental touch.
And, I heard from a friend, who has a 1st grader, a new policy in her
district.
They segregate kids by ability. The above average kids are sorted out from
the average, and the below average are sorted out from the average. Then
they are separated. This is suposed to help them all learn. I don't think
so. The first thing the "below average" kids are taught is that they are
"below average". I think, instead of separating them, they should have kids
that understand explain to those that don't. That way, they learn to work
together to learn. But, I guess the people who count, don't understand that.
They continue on their merry way, making schools into prisons.
Anyone notice the iron bars around all the high schools?

Today I had to sign a paper agreeing not to be involved in the selling,
distribution, some other stuff, and USE of any illegal drugs. If I am
convicted of any of the above, my Pell Grant would be revoked and I could
possible have all my financial aid taken from me, forever.
BUT they allow Frat partys where alcohol is consumed in MASSIVE amounts. I
wouldn't mind so much if they actually cared about abusing mind altering
substances. But they single out illegal drugs. So, I could commit any
other kind of felony, i.e., rape, murder, even drunk driving, and still have
my Grant money but being caught smoking a joint, that's it. I am yanked out
of school mid semester without any funds and probably could not ever
complete it unless some other moneys came along.
There is something seriously wrong here.

A good idea about having the advanced students teach the slower ones.
This would not only help the less able students, but also the gifted ones,
since there is nothing like teaching someone else, to really clarify things
in your own mind. You often discover that your understanding of a subject

School boards are political entities, too many of whom unfortunately have
little understanding of how the educational system functions.
This is, of course, a strictly personal opinion and observation, but I feel
that if we are to rescue the next generations of Americans from the abysmal
pits of ignorance, we are going to have to remove perhaps 70% of all school
administrative positions, and the non-productive assistants that keep them
shuffling papers, abandon the concept of our secondary schools being little
more than fodder producers for the NFL, the NBA, the major baseball leagues
and other pro sporting clubs, and replace the time and money wasted on
interscholastic sports with more quality educators and more quality classes
that do what education is suppose to do, namely fine tune the minds of our
youth and teach them to stand up and become productive members and leaders
of our society, people well able to think for themselves.
Once this is accomplished, we will be able to compete intellectually with
such places as Japan and other countries who seem to have their educational
priorities a lot straighter than we do.

Applause for the good thoughts of Paul Savage--you're right, those are the
conditions prevailing in our schools.
However, we don't need a revolution to do some good. (A revolution
would be a blessing, indeed! Throw the rascals out and get some good teachin
g going.) But we can't destroy the whole system and start over--we'd lose
about 30 years of students--can't afford it.
But, we CAN and should demand that students be taught the English
language, correctly, so that they use it correctly. This is within the
capabilityies of the present system. With that ability to communicate, they
would be better able to succeed in math, geography, history, etc.
(A modern tragedy: One of our better high schools yesterday scrapped
a powerful and innovative new program of English, Math, Science, because it
conflicted with the sports schedule!)

Quantum field theory pictures elementary particles as excitations that arise
out of a ground state of the field -- also called the vacuum state of the
universe. When a little extra energy is added to this vacuum state,
elementary particles are created; when that energy leaves, only the vacuum
remains. From that vacuum state there is nowhere left to lose any more
energy. A sort of energy valley. But what if on the other side of the
mountains of energy that surround the universe (metaphorically), there were
another vacuum state, a potential universe with lower energy? There is no
way of reaching this lower vacuum state from where you are. The "energy
mountains" are too high. In this sense, the universe is stable. In an
absolute sense, because of the difference in potential, the universe is
unstable. Quantum theory allows a tunneling effect where solitons are able
to tunnel through an energy barrier from one system to the next. Solitons
can tunnel from the exterior to the interior of a plasma, with, for all
practical purposes, no energy loss. Radio frequency solitons will provide
the means for an efficient method of plasma heating in fusion reaction
processes in the intermediate future. A soliton formed out of the vacuum
state could tunnel from one vacuum to the next. A vacuum bubble instanton
is a soliton bubble of quantum energy which could tunnel across from one
ground state or universe to another. It's surface belongs to this universe,
but its interior is alien; it contains the lower vacuum state of another
universe. An instanton appearing in this universe would appear as a violent
disturbance expanding outward at the speed of light.
A doomsday machine could be devised to produce a single instanton from the
intersection of extremely high energy laser pulses. Created with the size
of an elementary particle, after a single second it would have expanded
300,000 kilometers and would contain within it a steam of elementary
particles. The result would be like dropping a speck of dirt into
superheated water. This universe would begin to boil.
Have a nice day.

YES, I've noticed the bars around high schools. In fact I live directly
next door to North High Detention Center.
And some office buildings give me the same impression. I guess school gets
people accustomed to serving a life sentence in employment of the state.
I am seeing to it that my children can read, write and add. If they go to
classes they do not enjoy, that is their business.
A child is taken by the state at 5 and kept in the system until 65. There
is really very little time remaining for life, cept for those two weeks each
year (which gives the average person just enough time to scrape and paint
the house.)
But what gets me are the many who through wealth can and do enjoy prepetual
spring while flying about from one hemisphere to another at will.
Would be nice if 'sharing' was in but it's not. -Rod
