What do I want my children to know?

After covid I noticed that a lot of people started homeschooling because they realized that school in the brick and mortar context was pretty much a daycare or it was full of busy work because the teachers were spread out among 30 children Plus in a class. I didn't want my children to be burdened by busy work and unimportant concepts. I want to my children to know exactly who they are. I wanted my children to know exactly the world they live in how it works and why we live the way that we do. I didn't want them to be stuck in a bubble and I definitely didn't want them to think that the way that we live in America is the only way to live. So while studying all the other countries of the world and their political systems their economic systems as well as their philosophies I wanted them to understand why through cultural and social situations those economies political systems work for them. I want my children to appreciate other ways of thinking I don't want them to always agree but through appreciation they understand the others point of view. Right now politics is talking about communism socialism blah blah blah and a lot of people are acting like capitalism is the most abysmal thing on the planet right now. But from my point of view capitalism has been the greatest thing for a society on a global level. The problem is crony capitalism nepotism greed. Capitalism in its purest form is not the problem capitalism could incorporate some things of socialism as well as communism but let me be very clear we do have social programs we do have communal programs but at the heart of it all capitalism allows the consumer to choose. If a person has a bad year when it comes to business work or even a medical issue that makes their income go down we have safety nets and things in place to make sure that they do not fall through the cracks. That's in capitalism's purest form the cracks are formed when greedy people try to make sure that they only accommodate people with money. That's what I don't agree with we all live on this planet together we should all be taking care of everyone we have all the resources we need to make sure that happens. The elderly need to be taken care of at a certain point that's where the social programs come in that's where the communal programs come in because at a certain point you're going to have to be taken care of because you can't take care of yourself. Children can't take care of themselves until they reach a certain age but there are people that want to take advantage of children which is why we came up with child labor laws. Children need to grow and develop. If we don't nurture children or future is lost we are left with adults that cannot innovate the next big thing that will propel our futures forward we get stuck reliant on the old way of thinking. We get strapped with old concepts that are outdated and have reached their expiration for the discoveries that we have discovered as of late. So I want my children to know when to let the old go but I also need my children to understand that you don't throw the baby out with the bath water. You can let old concepts go without letting go of everything. We wouldn't get rid of let's say how a fan works to replace it with how an air conditioner works. It might seem a little absurd but some people might not even realize that there is a fan inside of an air conditioner. To try and make it clear that the old concept of cooling oneself down was the fan but the new version of cooling oneself down with a coolant to make the fans air cooler took a new concept of cooling but did not get rid of the old concept of the fan. So I want my children to understand where things came from originally so that they will not have the misguided perspective that America is the best has always been the best and neglects the fact that America is and will always be a melting pot. English itself as I had noted before when covering language arts is a collaboration for lack of a better word of many languages. We still have koreatown Chinatown Little Italy Jewish neighborhoods we even have Amish country sadly we even have native Americans on reservations. America is where the world congregates in my opinion. But like so many good ideas has become correct corrupted by greed manipulation power struggles that in all honesty were unnecessary. The idea of America was beautiful in its founding we can try to forget that so many people were displaced killed and we can ignore so many things if we like but I don't want my children to forget those things because here's a shocker I am both native American and African American. I don't think it is fair for any country to overlook the bad parts because those bad parts took place to pave the way for the good. There is a right way to teach about the bad parts of History and there is a right way. There are a lot of people arguing about this as they introduced the concept of CRT and what is this equity instead of equality I'm sorry equity is so stupid everyone is not equal we have people that are smarter than each other than others we have people that are more creative than others we have people that are more logical in others I am the person who appreciates the individual excellence to make the whole excellent. It's not one person that makes something good it is they collaboration of many that makes something good. We need all perspectives in order to make the whole beautiful. I don't agree with equity everyone does not want to have the same as everyone else. I don't want to live in a mcmansion I would rather live on a homestead. That is what has been forgotten equality allows for everyone to have an opportunity to have what it is that they truly want. the problem with society now is that everyone is so busy in a rat race that they don't even have the time to think about what it is that they really want they are so stuck so tired that they are easily manipulated in being told what they want. That is sad. I do not want that for my children I want my children to be able to know what they want understand why they want it and how they are going to get it. I don't want them to be easily manipulated by fear or power or any other thing other than their own true desires. I want them to see how their actions impact the world. Even if their actions are negative I want them to be able to minimize that negative impact as much as possible and maximize any possible positive impact they might have on the world. The way that I teach them history I want them to learn the beautiful parts as well as the ugly parts and appreciate them as equally as possible. I don't know what else to say on the matter I want them to be well-rounded I want them to know why they do what they do and I want them to know how to do it effectively efficiently and peacefully.
