Politicians including finance media are often scaring citizens with: budget deficit warnings; Rudd's constant reminders of 2008 GFC; 2014 beginning of the last two and half years Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne building boom price “bubble” scares; scaring as in justifying working class into saving money in superannuation funds to finance their own retirement, to have many self-retired workers losing savings, lost due to poor banking regulations and financial advisor laws; global warming, now climate change; terrorism; finance media often reminding readers and listeners of the end of the China 7% GDP boom, using ideas of 200% GDP debt; “Stop the boats” Tony Abbott scares citizens of being over run by foreigners; Greece troubles; North Korean nuclear missions; China claiming the China Sea. All these scary news reports have almost nothing to do with Australian citizens, therefore add zero self-interest intelligent thought to future decisions. Are our politicians constantly distracting citizens with fight and flight scary stories, much the same as old children's horror stories scare children into being more concerned about scary night-time stalking creatures.
http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/australia/halloween

Teenagers whom watch Horror, add violent crime and war movies are being desensitised to ignore fight and flight emotionally driven instincts/intuition. All political scary stories are ignored as often nothing bad relating to scary stories happens, that as nothing bad happens, politicians may seem to have done something to protect citizens from bad happenings, when politicians didn't actually do anything.

Are news print political cartoon character drawers going to publish selective politicians standing on house porches saying to people answering a knock on a door “trick-a-treat”... politicians trick citizens and citizens treat politicians with starting salaries of almost $200,000 a year, plus generous accommodation allowances (I heard once from serious media) are often used to buy a Canberra second home and generous superannuation contributions.

When said, “to get good talent you need to pay good money” who gets to evaluate good talent other than a poorly educated, vaguely informed voters whose “anti-intellectual; sport cultured” education curriculum is forced onto children by self-interested politically guided bureaucrats.

Have I said it all?

Below reading is about how I strongly suggest, all the money thrown at failed solutions, political statements stating things should be done, yet nothing is done. Embarrassing and scandalising politicians have to do with citizens savings money being lost, that people losing money, there exists limited cost affective solutions for complaining citizenry.

Serious media focuses pretty-well everything that goes wrong back onto government:

Mental health, particularly aboriginal suicides, funding solutions are not translated into better performing statistical results.

October 19 ABCC legislation gets redirected by changing shotgun number of shots in a single load. Whether time taken to quickly place two extra projectile loads in a five shot shotgun, short time taken almost makes the argument of 5 to 7 shots shotguns dramatised importance, very irrelevant. The story would not be the first time irrelevant dramatised information becomes important for media listeners to listen to, gradually wearing down listeners knee-jerk reaction long term willingness to care to listen to stated important information.

I suggest, so many irrelevant concerns and serious depressing violence and murder stories are presented on media that depressed listeners could influence listeners to consider committing suicide.

All media news murder stories and tragic accidents sounds serious, yet have nothing to do with news viewers. Such unfortunate events happen all the time, yet to solve why many people commit suicide alludes media questioners and problem solvers.

Four Corners' host Sarah Ferguson on her “Hitting Home” on family violence, two part series, on her introduction beginning the following QandA program said, “family violence can't be fixed”.

I suggest, government doesn't want family violence solved. Family violence reduces population growth and disturbs wealth through various means from being accumulated. People who are more concerned about their own family violent problems concern themselves far less with real politically unsolved problems.
http://www.abc.net.au/tv/programs/hitting-home/

Local and exampling US election campaigning focuses on each candidates failed performance. Media saying candidates would prefer to focus on the positive campaigning yet negative campaigning is believed to be more effective. Yet, I suggest do nothing politicians can't break detailed promises elected politicians didn't make.

Everything is about money. Capitalism suffers from periodic financial crisis. In between these many financial crisis, there are smaller company bankruptcies; scam artists conning people into parting with their money without providing promised as described services.

Presently a large number of Australian bank borrowing customers are complaining about large sums of money and property being unethically removed from their ownership. Rarely heard by me, media vaguely mentioned bank customer complaints blaming bank financial advisors bad advice and loan forms incorrectly altered, said to maximise lending to customers, to maintain banks triple A ratings from ratings agencies. As seen on a Stephen Long presentation, loan applicants who have fixed incomes in which to service loans, loan applicants incomes were vastly over estimated.

Media's brought up during July 2 federal election campaigning, focused attention towards negative gearing rental property ownership, allowing people with home ownership and limited cash... using record low interest rates to borrow and buy presently booming over priced property. If future tenants fail to be worthy, destroy property causing increased repair costs, few available trades people to repair damaged property before new tenants begin to pay rent. And/or property market valuations fall, causing margin call on loans. Low interest loans need to be called in, property sold in a media news story declining market, a percentage of the money collected from sold property goes to state government taxes. Money not collected from sold property to pay out loans. Family homes need to be sold to make up the money owing to lenders.

The above is not that complex to understand, yet, to people who are more wanting to feel good emotional family huggers of each other, the type of people asking how each other are, not expecting further complex discussion other than “I'm find”.
People who feel childhood education traumas confused by unknown margin call concepts, allow financial advisors advice, guiding easily confused investors wealth into whatever supposed expert market analyst spokesmen tell financial advisors to tell their easily confused investor customers.

Media presented politicians going on about budget deficit concerns, that workers need to save for their retirement years, that government can't afford to support future old age pensioners whom living longer with all the media presented scientific advanced medical cures under study predicted to come onto the market in about 5 years. Elderly people keen to feel good about being self-supporting, take risks on investments, ignorant of what may turn out to be a bad long term investment.

ABC television news financial reporter Alan Kohler may occasionally show what Alan refers to as charts, on selective city house rising prices, charts going as far back as 1977. Charts may indicate rising house prices yet charts may not indicate high turnover and/or low property demand. That houses maybe valued by real estate valuators. Are property prices being overly priced during low demand periods: recessions; politicians and finance media's constant scary economic outlook predictions, by a never mentioned establishment interests in holding back house property from being sold, until planed house buying booms?

Politicians are historically known for talk, “we need to do something”, yet problems under the control of government, never seem to be fixed. North Australian high percentage numbers of Aboriginal youth in detention which has been going on for many years, which would have been reported to government needing solutions for over 100 years.

Without listing a large number of failures. I suggest government failures to solve years of media mentioned problems are used to convince the many people whom have lost money through badly advised investments, unethical banking behaviours, governments are not going to do anything even if government states they're going to fix problems.

Delaying tactics are the best solution where accused run by establishment entities are in the wrong. Like Family Courts are poorly financed and are taking years to process court judgements. The mere idea of lengthening final judgements and expense of glorified expensive legal proceedings, failed legal proceedings ending up in the high court, discourages the many people who feel they have been legally mistreated from attempting to find monetary compensation.

Parliamentary displays during question time to many viewers will conclude democracy is real. To people whom have been mistreated, I assume question time looks like politicians are full of performing misdirecting statements.

The ABC serious media are known for criticising and heavy handed interviewing politicians. The process appears as though there exists separation from government financed ABC media and government, that being anecdotal evidence of real democracies. I strongly suggest, the propaganda is mostly about money, by convincing knee-jerk reactions into audiences memories, that any money lost through various means, depending on government to solve problems, solving problems, will not happen. Seeking legal courtroom justice is a waste of time.

To my occasional viewing, 9 network A Current Affair presents many confidence tricksters whom falsely relieve people of their money. Banks may even come under scrutiny. Yet many people losing money in stories don't seem to have their lost money returned. The culture of excepting fate and moving on without further wounding why theft by trickery continues without legal redress.

One media story about one seemingly rich Australian women seen complaining about how a bank allowed her ex-husband to secure loans using the woman's property assets, leaving her with the debt. She expected to win the high court case against the bank. I have no idea of the end result, yet I ask how did the ex-husband have access to property deeds to secure bank loans. Making the story a little contrived to allow listeners to believe to find justice, complainants may need to go to the high court. Losing court cases against bank's government legislation's legal yet unethical behaviours leading to complainants losing court judgements, paying court costs and legal fees.

The value of Australian justice may be little better than Chinese dictatorship legal system sudden crackdowns.

I am saying all the unsolved everything, convinces citizens whom have lost money, don't bother trying to get the money back. If citizens try, more money will be lost.

…....... on another subject..........

The shape of the not yet built Sydney Crown Casino James Packer high rise building looks very sculptured in a fantasy design. If the building never gets built, was the building ever intended to be built?
http://crownsydney.com.au/

Finance may have been raised, shares sold on the look of a very stylish Crown Casino. The shape of this building would be expensive to build using Australian expensive building industrial labour. Easy to build a square roomed rooms, on top of each other, building. So I suggest the Sydney Casino building design is too over the top to ever have been built. The casino is another Sydney Opera House difficulty to build building.
http://au.finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=CWN.AX#symbol=CWN.AX;range=5y

China's crack down on gambling, having Packer's casino executives arrested by Chinese government. Is it the establishment intentionally sending share prices down, relieving share holder investors of some of their money? That the Packer family tree beginning with government licensed media were merely fronting for the establishment's inexhaustible supply of invented bank credits money?

Nathan Tinkler story.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Tinkler

Kerry Stokes story.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerry_Stokes

Alan Bond story.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Bond

How could these above mentioned people achieve so much wealth so quickly? The stories are like rags-to-richers Cinderella stories. All last mentioned three men were working class low achievers indicated by their early professions. There successes are certainly unusual.
This somewhat proves people believe what their told, what feels good to believe Cinderella story must be true. Once told what to believe “feel good truth”, feel good believers can't easily be persuaded to believe something else.

An old Aussie band Skyhooks had it sussed..."Horror movie - it's the 6.30 News." Every instalment from MSM is generally a story of unhappiness. Why don't they put on a few happy items each day ? Something nice like a little girls puppy being found, but no, it's misery, war, bombs, carnage and destruction that keeps selling newspapers (for those who buy and read them) and the TV's on at night.

Who really cares about the likes of Packer, Stokes, Tinkler and Bond...or Bill Gates for that matter ? Time passes and we see the cracks appear, Bondy gaoled - who else with all these folks has skeletons to hide, which one of them has truly and honestly acted ethically to obtain the huge sums of money/assets they possess?

For the average Joe & Jane on the street it is nothing but a dream. Sure there are Lotto winners every week and statistics reveal that most are worse off a year later after the 'Big Win' than they were before it.

In a class of some 250 young Australian men that joined the Army Apprentices School with me in 1977, there are less than a handful of us who are truly 'rich' in the monetary/assets sense e.g. millionaires or multi millionaires, the majority of us are battlers in varying degrees with mortgages and the everyday issues of every one else. When we joined up a house purchase was somewhere in the region of 4 to 6 times our annual salaries - today it is in the region of 12 times a persons salary. How on Earth can young people get the deposit together let alone service the loans required to effect owning their own home ?

What I would celebrate is seeing a real set of ethical guidlines, laws if you want, that prevent the corruption in politics from directing policies via funding, grafts, kickbacks and backroom antics...but then I woke up.

On Monday October 24, Radio National Morning Life Matters, first presentation discussion was on school students studying for examinations, highlighting the HSC examinations.

The focus on the conversation was how many students were taking ADHD medication, ADHD medication described as the illegal drug to consume “speed”.
http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/lifematters/are-ritalin-and-dexies-getting-you-through-the-working-day-(and/7958774

Students needing to overcome mental stress causing students' difficultly in remembering studying material, indicates how examinations are more to do with stress testing under hurrying repressive time limits to complete examination questions, students' ability to function.
Stress testing and not the long term useful quality of information for future employment, students taking ADHD medication are cheating.

Sports athletes taking any performance enhancing medication which gives athletes unfair advantages, on being tested, found positive, are punished. Taking speed to get students throw examinations seems to have been well known for many years, yet rarely gets commented on.

The use of teenagers taking ADHD medications “speed” has after examination consequences, getting teenagers off speed, could lead to long term addiction problems. That being mentioned during the Radio National discussion session.
This would somewhat provide documented evidence that school education encourages teenagers to indulge in speed and other medicating drugs, being legal or illegal.

Drug addiction messes with human intelligence, therefore drug addiction would not be something that intelligent people concerned with their own wealthy status, would believe in a Darwin survival of the fittest ideology, many other people's drug addictions are a good thing for them and future children's benefit.

On a similar topic... on October 21, SBS1 “Secrets Of The Tudors”
http://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/video/782329411987/Secrets-Of-The-Tudors

I managed to capture the last 10 minutes. The narrator was expressing contraception, “most of the methods of contraception were outlandish” as well as using the rhythm method, women were wearing various: herbs; animal droppings and guts around their necks like jewellery to prevent pregnancy. Often using herbs to induce abortions.

Queen Elizabeth the first put sugar on everything, narrator said Elizabeth cleaned her teeth with honey. Sugar was rotting Queen Elizabeth's teeth. By the time Elizabeth died, most of her teeth were gone.

Several other documentaries stated how after sugar was introduced, consumption of sugar and resulting tooth decay, caused untreated dental problems... many people died from rotten teeth. Many people were cleaning their teeth with sugar.

Another documentary on Elizabethan period stated, water supplies were so filthy people didn't risk bathing in water, instead rubbed themselves with linen cloth, eventually washing the cloth.
People drunk alcohol: wine and beer in fear of water born diseases.

If water were captured off slate roofs, and/or river waters filtered through linen cloth and then boiled to kill bacteria, clean waters could have been used to wash sugar out of people's mouths. Water may even be clean enough to drink.

Much of the ABC3 Horrible Histories are describing the Tudor period and many stated royal periods on how ridiculously stupid beliefs both rich and poor people believed

Modern generation people I believe would believe they are better informed people compared to the above Tudor mentioned behavioural stupidity.

Most Tudor period people whom were rich enough not to need to work, working was considered beneath their social class. Rich class had plenty of time to think how best to solve problems to realise what sugar was doing to their health and their teeth.

I say, education of the Elizabethan period was making people stupid. That little difference exists today.

Education in the Elizabethan period was teaching Greek, Latin and performing English speaking Shakespearean plays. King Henry the VIII was considered to be very educated, speaking 5 languages. Henry played tennis and gambled on tennis matches, gambling was an excepted pass time. Henry loved dangerous jousting until a jousting wound with his horse falling on him damaged his leg, which caused him pain through the remainder of his life. His initial desires for athletic pursuits, marriage problems and needing to consult several advisors. I suggest Henry VIII was Henry's VII second choice as king, Henry's education didn't serve Henry as well as what could have been.

Languages have few reasons to think other than spelling, individual word meanings and forming sentences using correct accents.
I suggest religion and language education and limited story themes relating to people behaviours, that work thinking skills were intentionally repressed, keeping human brain capable of intelligence, dumb.

People were lead to believe myths which had no bases of truth, preventing realisation of thought. That the simplest easily seen problems with sugar and tobacco were ignored because people simply believed what they were told to believe. That few people realising how people merely excepted what they were told, promoted the stupidest ideas, amused themselves by how stupid ideas are easily excepted as true.

For both doctors and teachers, if tasks are completed quickly than both doctors and teachers are paid for the time spent. If doctors and teachers intentionally sabotage tasks, doctors and teachers can continue treating and teaching for many years.

Much of the stupidity could be blamed on the amount of alcohol people consumed. Yet I favour bad education beginning at an early childhood age, began the need for children to remember what children were told by authority teachers on children's fear of punishment, was true and brains scanned memories for known no reason to think and doubt far away, long ago, too small to see information. The need to want to feel correct, ignoring being incorrect, quickly moving onto the next opportunity to feel correct, not caring to get everything correct, denial, cutting corners no time to think hurrying assumptions are still modern day educations behavioural learning objectives.

I have heard several times from media presented psychologists that teenagers and young adults don't properly develop their brains until adults reach the age of 25 years. That problems young people have is due to normal brain development... no mention of school education mental stress.

I say, most adults that have untrained intelligent problem solving IQ levels to that of when they were aged 5 years old, same intelligent levels before first attending schools. The most, thought productive adults... on having been trained by advanced education studying in particular fields of learning... any untrained problem solving thinking capacity would have been realised before adults as children first attended school. Other than trained skills, most adults have the intellectual capacity of their own aged 5 years childhood. As young children are said to be thinking far more than adults. Adults as children may have been more intelligent.

Once children have entered schools, long hours of word spelling copying down sentences, listening to teachers teaching to curriculum test requirements, schooling mental stress represses any unnecessary thought that doesn't lead to increase examination grades. That students after school entertainments are encouraged by students to be as simple as possible, to reduce needs for prompting exhausted brains to realise anything that needs remembering. Rhythmic music becomes mentally exhausted teenagers after school distraction from prolonged feelings of school classroom mental stress.
As teenagers and young adults turn up at concerts and US political rallies, audience's screaming, blocks out brains feelings of mental stress, probably made worse by music and screaming.

Today's educated people's problem solving ability would not be any better than Tudor period's educated people.

Popular entertainment limits ideas similar to Tudor Shakespearean plays: violence; love; sword fighting; murders; greed; envy; conspiring... all of which is formulated into modern media information, reducing opportunities for human thought to think about what's being seen and heard. As the same themes are rolled over, there's little reason to think... only needing to judge some simple understanding instead.

Modern education makes humans dumb. Reading, writing and maths are easy to learn. The more children read the easier correct spelling can be achieved. If children haven't mastered these 3 objective learning behaviours within the first two years of schooling, the two years of past mental stress builds into aged 7 years children, children easily being diagnosed with ADHD and/or other psychological problems. Mental stress represses normal (as in the correct behaviour human brains learn) emotional self-programming human memory learning... correct human learning behaviours are to repress memories which contain fear and/or bad wrong feelings. Education's many hours each day mental stress adds repressing bad feelings to learning information. Bad feeling memories are making remembering daily heard and read information difficult to remember. Children and teenagers could better remember what is desired to do after school, more simple behaviours than that of what happens at school.

Prior to examinations, students are speed reading through texts books, attempting to remember selective names and dates which may come up in examination questions.

My expressed theory is that academic schooling should not begin before aged 9 years, during an age where emotional self-programming proficient cultural behavioural experiences have been carried out correctly many times for several years before children become consumed by academic studying. Increased maturity aged 9 years children will be more capable of quickly catching up to anything that would have been learnt as children who would have began school aged 5 years. That aged 9 years children would only require 2 hours each day, lasting for 2 years to have achieved capable academic learning before entering university. Children's spare time boredom and curiosity will lead children to read what increasing intelligent brains consider worth reading, finding their own pathway to success: art; playing chess; electronic kits; computer typing up relevant ideas.
Money saved on teacher employment and school buildings would pay for more worthy projects. I'd also suggest most mental illnesses would disappear.
Opposing ideas are that parents want daytime baby sitting services to mind their children.

The easily believing what people were told to believe would also disappear. Political systems, religions and financial boom bust economy mythology would be difficult to have been so easily believed. All the scary stories manipulating citizens, wiser parents would soon tell their children why scary stories were most probably lies.

I'd also suggest governments have much to hide, that government and corporate upper management in the know systems are fearful of losing their status and wealth, that they have interests in keeping the working class ignorant. Even though citizens aren't as dumb as Tudor period citizens, much of the information media inform listeners has replaced Tudor myths, modern citizens intelligence for further curiosity is somewhat similar to the Tudor period.

DNA has 2 metres of DNA information, all of which is crammed into each organic cell. The process between saliva and coming up with one in 7 billion people on earth genetic code. Seeing something that is so very very very small. Working out chemical code sequence. Warrants thought, which I suggest media and news story DNA are lies.

The education system that teaches students to ignore mistakes, quickly moving onto the next question which are often simple trivial pursuit intelligence information... produces a work force whom when workers coming up against unknown obstacles, workers don't care to ask for increased knowledge, which could be embarrassing and/or information will be stressful to learn, instead, fake it. Societies end up with poor productivity, mistakes having to be fixed, buildings falling down, and more whistle blowers exposing real detailed corruption within the corporate and political system.

Construction workers are more trying to entertain themselves (after school thought behaviours) than be aware accidents can happen, walking around blindly.

Tudor period medical theories go back to ancient Greece. Henry VIII could have commissioned a study on how best to medicate his leg, using other English people with similar problems, yet simply believing what doctors said based on ancient Greek readings, displays how avoiding thought, an inability to doubt was absent.

Absent wasn't the correct end of sentence word. sorry. Opposite meaning to absent was correct.

There are many various technical books available to read, children whom are not mentally stressed by school classroom education can read.
What I believe children end up reading are fantasy easy to read books: Harry Potter; Ironman; Green Hornet; comic books. The fantasy hero worship is probably doing more harm than good.

If you have read similar ideas from me before, I'm using "the more you read it the more it becomes true" to convince readers of my finger pointing theories.

On October 27, ABC television The Drum program had a “special” twenty nine minute discussion on family violence.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-10-27/the-drum-thursday-october-27/7972948

Guests: three women and a man, ranted as in shifting sentences, on for almost twenty nine minutes. Ideas were: “awareness”; “family terrorism”; a percentage of unreported family violence; “no services on the ground”; shifting sentences towards “indigenous”; “governments are finally listening”; male guest said, “works with mothers and sons” and “attachment trauma and DVD programs”; “domestic violence is a community problem”; “getting federal and state on board”; “just demonising isn't going to solve the problem”. One whole lot of short speeches vaguely avoiding saying anything worth realising.
If The Drum topics were: climate change; shark attacks; kangaroos fencing... the panellists sentences would have been similar.

The Drum program name is an ideal name as though when beating a drum the same tone-note sound is continually being heard.

Four panellists were using selective short sentence phrases prompting further previously formulated memories for the next short sentence. The four guest panellists may have gained government funding for counselling programs and women's refuge centres by their limited solutions ranting language skills. Sentences sounding as though words had the beginnings of solutions, ranting for twenty nine minutes without saying anything worth a moment of prolonged thought.

This episode of The Drum should be immortalised as one of the most pointless demonstrations of ranting heard. Such ranting should be brought to the attention of university students, so when similar ranting are recognised, students can demonstrate why they should have money purchased for study course material and lectures returned.

In all the twenty nine minutes heard: I didn't hear the word bipolar; didn't hear any probable causes; causes of anger; did hear that there was no class barriers between professional skills sets; didn't hear any suggested solutions other than more of the same; close to the end of the program jail and rehabilitation was heard.

Does media's violent contact sports and violent entertainment “male verse male” fighting get mentioned, has statistics taken into account seasonal sports between football season and cricket season and/or different countries types of sports. The difference between soccer and rugby league?
Does the Neanderthal human fear instinct for fight or flight emotional reaction, lead the fight resolution get a hearing?

My view is that every person gets angry over something. Anger in a physical sense resolution, forces increased physical effort to solve a delaying problem. The difference is human ability to suddenly stop being angry when suddenly other people become involved.

When people become the cause of anger and frustration, calm verbal communication reasons out problems. In an emotional decision making mind set culture, exampling 4 Corners Nauru Youtube clips... physical conflict shuts the problem up.

Another issue is that bipolar personalities are said to be predominately happy people whom suddenly become angry. I suggest years of trying to be positive covering up frustration self-medicating distractions from time wasting school classroom tasks, repressed anger busts out as planned relationships become unfulfilled. Add to that a sense of self-denial, it's “never their fault”.

It always comes back to the child, yet saying male children see chosen female partners as their right to punish physically weaker females, guides the blame back to male children's male parents, redirecting school education out of the picture.

Take out the male parent theory, I strongly suggest, the problem is that school education has hijacked male children's ability to take the time to rationally think, to correctly plan forty years of marriage, financially supporting a family.

Badly educated humans find change difficult to except. The loss of a happy memory emotion suddenly rejected spouse, amygdala guiding hippocampous quick solving emotional reactions hijacks any rational conclusions to merely move on with their life. Emotion has driven obsessive behaviours to rebuild past memory images, the other spouse has rejected.

The entire family violence problems are school education's constant need for word spelling skills redirecting children's time from experiencing thought. School teachers dealing out curriculum test requirement classroom tasks whom primary school teachers are often female and mothers pushing their male children to do their high school homework, the wealth class and skill set barriers lead back to females dominating powerless male children.
A percentage of males will respect and may even fear their mother yet take repressed anger reactions using violence, out on the wife.

The Drum special program on family violence had absolutely no theoretical psychological meaningful reasons for why family violence happens, which makes the entire discussion a load of meaningless political ranting.

Great idea, we should use them as them as a pinata...

October 31, ABC morning breakfast, repeated on ABC news mornings: a Victorian university released new report recommending aged 3 years children do 600 hours of preschool, university report was lead by Dr Stacey Fox, speaking on mentioned programs. Words like “really great relationships with their teachers” is a scary prospect.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-10-31/call-for-preschool-age-to-be-lowered/7978784

The Drum ended with 3 year olds attending school as may have been suggested by Dr Stacey Fox. The Age economist editor Peter Martin says, “No... its not a good idea to make it compulsory. Look I've had 4 children John and I'm not having any more”... “another one of my children's school, even when we started at 5, was far too early and really sad, I think, she would have been much more mature to handle it later”... “NAPLAN teaching to a test, NAPLAN is an appalling thing, I say it depends on the child, I'm sorry”.
Two females and one male added their positive comments. The entire conversation took 2 minutes and 45 seconds.

I suggest there is as much empirical evidence in the above mentioned study as there is empirical evidence on humans causing significant global warming compared to natural solar system elements... now changed to climate change.
I ran my own study, asking one elderly retired high school principle. He expressed, children need to experience a period of images and shapes, moving shapes around.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-10-31/the-drum-monday-october-31/7981744

Three year old children are adventurous and curios. Placing many moving around children whom are wearing colourful clothing in a single room for many hours, seems an ideal learning environment. My problem with this scenario is that attached to the ABC television announcement scenes are children grabbing blocks and stacking blocks on top of each other, looks ideal.

My concerning issue is that preschool teachers will soon find as children get teachers involved in individual play “what do I do”, and children's arguments. Teachers will find organising children much easier if teachers focus children's attention in them as teachers, reading to aged 3 years children. Children won't be able to see the words being read, adding zero learning to the listening experience.

Too many hours of focused attention, children become weary. As children soon lose interest in listening to teachers and drift off, behaviours of ignoring no point to known irrelevant information becomes an instinctive automatic behaviour.

Adults should not force young children to do anything children do not want to do. Children's emotional self-programming will often not want to do selective behaviours when their brain feels fear of not knowing what to do and feeling fear on not easily understanding. Allowing children to experience playing with blocks has learning limits, soon children will want to do something else, which means 2 years of pre-schooling leads teachers to read to children. Listening to teachers read at teacher fast speaking pace sentence after sentence can do more harm than good. Children keen to try to listen to teachers, once children feel built up awareness of mental stress, children will remember how they felt in future following teachers reading sessions. Soon teachers fairytale story reading will seem boring, further killing children's natural curiosity.

Mothers and grand parents one on one with children can spend the time helping individual children to understand. Preschool teachers controlling many children will begin to control what teachers see as chaos, attempting to guide all the children on one prescribed simple knowledge path. Individual children who can't keep up, are ignored. 600 hours a year is about 12 hours a week, 3 days a week is 4 consecutive hours a day of probable cognitive overloading which children have little choice in whether to participate. Peer-pressure, embarrassing moments, children trying to out smart other children narcissism. Preschool hurrying up learning can be the beginning of long term psychological problems.

When emotions become realised, emotional responses will magnify. 20 years later men will be bashing their wives. Men and women will be ignoring everything that isn't simple to understand.

Me, not being any qualified expert, led by my version of common sense, aged 3 years children are all about images. Adult sentences must be limited to whatever see-able image is being under discussion. Sentences need to be short with significant “silent pause” for thought between sentences. Each sentence description will be related to movement, colour and name of whatever image is being seen. In time, describing performance complexity adds to images.

Teachers old European fairytale stories have absolutely no usable images in which young children should associate increasing knowledge.

Dr Stacey Fox may say long term academic performance may improve, Obama's “no child left behind” has American educated young adults looking increasingly: stupid; drug addicted; violent; Donald Trump & Stephen Corbert intelligence howling.

Now the industrial age is over, employment is increasingly more about services. Services are looking more like food preparation and vehicle delivery services. As intelligent levels are no longer required, zombie food preparers and delivers are whom can read addresses and count down street numbers. For hundreds of years, workers have and still are being held in childhood traumatise to think intelligence by too early schooling.

Like the 1994 movie “Dumb & Dumber”, actors are child like distracted intelligence who find thought more to do with the next laugh.

Being able to spell all (dated June 10, 2009): 1,025,106.8 English words and perform advanced maths in a computer spell checking technology age, what a waste of time. Because humans fail to achieve such learning, add more years onto learning tasks, beginning at an earlier age. The stupidity is most every citizen buys into the Fox study statistical argument.
Pythagorean numerology chart below... F-O-X is 666.
http://www.crystalinks.com/numerologypyth.html
666 the devil's number.

Parents make a mistake to believe because being smart means gaining higher scores than some average rate of statistics. Their are different types of intelligence: emotional; rationally; book read.
The point that higher book read test scores than other fellow students can be obtained, indicates other intelligence talents are being ignored.

Once young adults leave education providers, most information will not be used in employment other than spelling and very little maths. If employees are asked to write out reports, the language required to formulate reports will be entirely different to that of school story book reading.

Spending too much time on one particular intelligence studying allows ignored intelligence least opportunities to obtained a balanced intelligence. Without significant rational intelligence, how can readers determine what they may be reading. As many people tend to read Harry Potter type fiction, I assume many readers favour pursuing child-like emotional intelligence. Reactors of emotional intelligence, Neanderthals, can't restrain themselves from following their emotional reactions, resulting in: spouse abuse; drug addictions; limited to manual labour; believing what authority tells unable to think people.

I also suggest much of the Internet relevant to read reading material has too much preamble rambling. Often reading material is too long to care to read and/or relevant googled reading material is too short, leaving gaps in what was googled. Too many separate posts with too little asked for information. Many readings lean towards some promotional rather than informative content. I suggest people are paid by establishment to formulate annoying babble.

In a world of information technology, why is society often being suggested that society is getting dumber? My answer are: too much irrelevant distractions; has always been too early to attend school; too many years spent in school's limited curriculum.

I personally only read technical books when I need to. I have learnt most things from trial and error, thinking out what I experienced. Books are too thick, saying too little, often spreading real yet vaguely described information to keep readers interest, over too many pages. I never read news print badly formulated pointlessness.

An elderly late 1970s retired news paper (who set led type) print editor told me reporters were paid by the word. Long readings would be drafted, only to have another final editor remove many of the cast led type sentences, allowing stories to fit in prescribed columns. Readings become so broken up, the reporters original meaning was entirely changed and/or vastly distorted.

Morning of November 1, I turned to “ABC for Kids” ABC2 “Sesame Street”, to watch many colourful puppets talking too fast on a short segment called “calm down and think”, for many slow minded to comprehend children to easily understand. Puppet heads constantly nodding while puppets were talking. Elmo had to answer “3” questions in 60 seconds to win a bicycle horn. Elmo's character voice is difficult to understand. Sentences were about “calm down” sounds a great idea for listening parents, yet listening at home children must have found what was see different than what was being asked by Sesame Street adults. I suggest children's program directors used fast speed speaking repeated several times, that maybe listening children might eventually understand what's going on. After a while, once child listeners assume what's being said, listeners can stop listening so intently.
Are listeners being programmed to listen to fast speaking repetitive short sentences until some limited idea has been understood, thereafter children are merely comparing judgements needing only to assume a single idea?

Are children being coached to listen to fast moving 30 second media commercials; fast moving sports; fast sounding music... under the allusion of learning letters and numbers.

Fast worded songs can be heard; Fast scene changes rather than time to remember images, relating images to words. Pentagram symbols are placed in prominent places.

In this particular Sesame Street episode, a talking puppet cow had many snakes attached to the cow's head. The cow was portraying Medusa showing ancient Athenian Parthenon in the background. Cookie Monster was doing the 3 shell game... three food lids covered a single plate of snake cakes having replaced a green pea. Two out of 3 lids had a single pentagram.

Sesame Street was brought to you by the letters “U” and “L” and whatever numbers. Letters and numbers were merely an excuse for parents to guide their children towards Sesame Street.

The following Play School program, had several children spinning out honey into a container. Later, Play School had a step on garbage bin lid seen with blue eyes, 2 hosts singing while the bin lip bounced up and down as female host sang.

When I was young, I never watched children's programs. I remember watching old B/W Great Britain and US movies. Image scenery was realistic; spoken sentences were short with significant silent pauses in between sentences for memories and limited understanding to be remembered. Many of the movies were cowboy and war movies, actors were constantly moving around doing nothing relevant.

What's my point of argument? Children's modern programs are colourful yet images are mostly unrealistic cartoon and puppet talking animal characters; overly musical; too many short productions allow too many beginning theme songs. Too many puppets talking too fast between characters, with too few silent pauses between sentences. Characters aren't often talking about something that can be seen. What's spoken about may be non-existent fantasy objects. Many realist objects (exampling an elephant) have disturbing music heard in the background, with character interjection in the middle, “Mofy”.

All this rolled over limited baby intelligent information has very few progressive child-intelligence moving forward towards adult thinking memories.
You would think, as children get bored with colourful movement, little reason to take notice distractions, children will move onto something more thought provoking. Many children with limited 3D objects may turn into zombies.

My opinion is that boredom encourages exploration, picking up 3D objects to figure out what objects do. The practice of figuring out how things work, assuming how things work is rewarded by brain chemicals, begins a pathways forwards.

Play School may be good for very young children, thereafter program increased creativity seems to end. Everything is too puppetry meant for too young an age.

Television programming leaps from very young baby intelligence to older young teenager ages, allowing sentences to be too fast, messing with, creating limited teenager dysfunctions. In all the images, any complexity of motor vehicle maintenance to prompt alternative thought I suggest is withheld. Motor mechanical maintenance does not need to guide teenagers towards life long associations with such practices, yet increased thought on how machinery works aids complex thought experiences.

The Age economist editor Peter Martin's quickly spoken on the spot poor formulated language skill set sentences may indicate he began school too early in his own life as he said his mother rushed him off to school at an early age, before he was ready to attend school. He said it worked for him, yet if he waited before attending school he may have been an Australian prime minister.

Peter Martin displays a problem with hurrying before correctly formulating short conceptual phrases.

Watching programs which contain zero relevant information to real life, limits subconscious conceptual thought out meaningful remembering. After leaving school, young adults need to begin life learning real employment skills process different than that of School learning.
