ABCs of Education
ABCs of Community Education
ABCs of Education.
Start Simple and Small;
later, gradually get more Complex and Bigger.
Do this not only for academics;
but also, for community, ecology, economy, and technology, and more.
The ABCs and steps 1, 2, 3 are the simple, small, early steps in learning something. The ABCs of academics includes learning to count from 1 to 20, to add 1-digit numbers, to sing the alphabet, and to read simple, small 3-letter words. The ABCs on how to participate in a community, connect with nature, boost the economy, and diminish poverty includes making simple, small, basic stuff that is vital to communities as well as to the lives of individual people. The basic stuff is stuff needed by all people: rich people, poor people, primitive caveman, and the modern city slicker alike. The basic stuff includes housing, water, and food. Every student (primitive and modern) should spend at least a little time on the ABCs of community and economy, which is to handmake primitive stone-age low-tech stuff from scratch from nature. People, who truly understand the core and fundamentals of community and economics, are only the people, who have a basic in-depth knowledge of local nature (ecology) plus at least a little experience in doing for themselves some gathering and handmaking stuff from scratch from nature. Like people cannot do algebra if they cannot count from 1 to 20 and beyond, people cannot help to run a larger society and complex economy, if they haven't hands-on done the ABCs of community education, the basic economic steps from 1 to 20 within a simple, small community, such as an ABC Garden.
