Why the Way we were is so important to our future

Take a look at what our behavior pattern has become this is a real reflection of our a typical day at school; where our future minds are being prepared too rule this world. Not to song like a broke record but we have long something that was a way of life long ago and that is moral, respect and caring for each other'
I attend a function this morning with the new Minister of National security Major Edward Dillon and he to reflected my sentiments that our society has loss so much from the past and it is his desire to use his ministry to bring back the down home family value that made nation stand out from all the rest (paraphrasing) he had that the country was going though a stage of complacence and lack of connecting with crime; he added that people no longer feel the need to help when an individuals are attacked but rather the only reaction for the average citizen is to take their phone out take a picture and post. this pre occupation with social media has made us would be producer ready for a cameo at any time. One would often hear individual laughing as others are beat while they are film then it posted and we are all in awe at the behavior of posted but never the poster of whom you can clearly heard laughing.

This was not the case years ago and doing such a thing by the average Joe just for fame would have been frown upon. There is an old saying "he who broke it must be the one to fit it" therefore the onus is upon we the adults to work together to bring about the change that our nation to badly  needs, so that we can have a better tomorrow, today.  That would spread around the world.

  In this season of globalization it is necessary that the customs of these other nations never become customs of our society and infect us, in such a way that we become them and we lose our cultural identity and replace it with what those other nations has allowed to become the norm in their society  now become our norms as we seeing now. But I know it is not to late we are not to late, all the is needed is to bring back some of the old time ways.

The Way we Were- The education System

 

 

The way we were when it came to educating a child was an entire community thing, all the elements for a holistic human being were working together to create what one may be able to classify as a model citizen. It could be personified as the school, church and the community working with the family for the betterment of the society in directly but directly for the child.

 I believe that all the stake holders understood this vision and built their vision and mission statement around this prime objective of educating the child for a better tomorrow.  The motto of the national Parent and teacher association is “school and home working toward the betterment of the child”  proving that  if all stake holder worked together we would a better society and it was working,  we may not have had a perfect utopian society but life back then gave hope for a brighter tomorrow.

School days were truly happy days, teacher taught for the love of it. Family, friends and neighbor did their part to assist each other to bring up their kids; no child could break school or classes without someone blowing the whistle on them. Disrespect was handled with a united front, there was one thinking unanimous to all, it was an unbreakable force and no child could surmise a way to penetrate it.

Until now, I don’t know where we went wrong; maybe it was too much lick vetted out my our parents or the long winded berating then meted out to us, but then again it must have been the hash punishment dole out to one without explanation or question of authority that made the baby boomer of our time change the way they trained up their children. But our society has change for the worse, the united front was broken and the child became the leader making this new generation though more educated, supposedly more civilize and cultured have proven to be more immoral, lawless, selfish and unkind to each other than ever. Crimes and murders are on a rise with most or if not all are young person under the age of thirty; tell me where did we go wrong.

 

I sat in a meeting and heard the principal blame everyone from teachers, church and parent for the way things are except him. But he is the head of the system, and if he can’t do his small part then what is to become of the school, why can’t we not see that we are all a part of the problem. We are the ones who broke it then we are the ones to fix it.

Else school days will no longer happy days.
