I have a deep belief that the problem lies in the priorities that people set. The priority is music, and entertainment, and what does one get out of that, except fewer brain cells? I believe that parents have allowed their kids to become social elites, rather than academic ones, because the kids complain of not having a high "social status". But, I turned out okay, and I didn't actually have friends until freshmen year.

And how do you retrain the mind, in order to stop further generations from going into he same position? You'd have to bring entertainment to technology, and not technology to entertainment. And how do you do that? You'd have to teach children at a young age about the sciences they enjoyed, even if it's generic, and go through as many different things as possible (astronomy; the rest they already are learning, but those should have better names (ie. "this is a leaf, a leaf comes from a tree. This is biology" etc)). And then you give them different programs they can join, like science summer camps, FLL, etc, at really low prices, if not free (fundraising does not count).


In order to get to grad education in science, you have to start at a young age.

Hope that makes sense.

[edit] Exposure. It is all about exposure. Maybe that is why entertainment is so affective. Because that is what they are exposed to. So, you'd have to just let kids watch for a while, hands-on activities, and let it become as natural to them as singing.[/edit]
