And I have also seen its effect at the college level as well.

Better make your powerpoints jump and sing and don’t make the students read anything more than a page without graphics because just plain lectures and text are just too boring for the media raised generation.

Elmo guy is a pederast. (Who knew he was like the homosexual Catholic “priests”?).

SS is ok for VERY limited times——but its long term impact is to destroy concentration and focus——it is the “bells and whistles” which is able to keep the attention of a one year old (maybe for a while), so it is intentionlally NOT designed to increase the focus and attention that is ESSENTIAL to true learning (and not just operant conditioning).

It also destroys the ability for TRUE Wisdom——REFLECTION——it normalizes instant gratification which destroys Virtue (perseverance).

The BEST, most HUMANIZING, “education” is for a mother and/or a father to sit and READ to their children-—it bonds people and transmits worldview and models behaviors-——which placing in front of screens CAN NOT-—it is ARTIFICIAL “learning”——which can lead children into a WARPED PERCEPTION of REALITY——which is what the LEFTISTS NEED for their Slavery is Freedom, boys are girls, BRAVE NEW WORLD.

Real Life experiences with loving adults where children LEARN to control REAL EMOTIONS——not the artificial TV ones which play roller coaster rides to emotions to create BOREDOM, and dysfunction and destroy Virtue, since removed from REALITY and REAL PEOPLE. IT is watching life-—not living and practicing life.

Think about the mind of a Mark Twain or a Lincoln——never in front of screens-—never dehumanized in that way——THERE WISDOM and ENTERTAINMENT came from WITHIN THEMSELVES_-—SELF-INITIATIVE-—and what TV does it create MASS CONFORMITY-—and GROUP THINK.

IT is OUTSIDE imposed ideology to create the proper EMOTIONS in children (AND I guarantee some are very SUBVERSIVE and EVIL!!!!)——Those “emotions” are artificially caused-——does not come from REALITY-—it is a UTOPIAN type which doesn’t increase MATURITY—and Real Life Skills.

Children can NOT habituate VIRTUE which they are DESIGNED TO DO and is essential for civil society by SITTING IN FRONT OF A SCREEN AND NOT USING THEIR FIVE SENSES in REAL LIFE experiences.

Their brain is designed to work and be INTEGRATED by using all their five senses interacting and modeling their parents and older siblings with creates INDIVIDUALISM so they MATURE and “think outside the box” and LEARN HOW TO CONTROL their REAL emotions which takes PRACTICE and EXPERIENCE and DOING and loving discipline inside the Natural Family which gives the ability to deal with all human beings in a positive way if the family is not dysfunctional or evil.

I grew up older with Looney Tunes.

As I got into adulthood, I realized I liked and "knew" certain classical pieces.

As time passed, I realized the reason I knew them was because of them being in cartoons.

"Looney Tunes..."

Warner Bros cartoons taught me the importance of not sawing off a limb while sitting on one as the whole tree would fall down. I also learned I could suspend gravity when I raced off a cliff chasing a roadrunner just as long as I didn't look down.
