I was talking to a friend about the Tekos School on the Black Sea in Russia tonight. They were telling me about how students are boarding school students from Russia and all over the world to learn this system of learning. Basically, the idea is children in this boarding school from junior high through High School are taught to solve literally any problem. It is an attitude, the cook for themselves, clean up the place, build the place, paint the place, and learn to solve literally any problem there from door repairs to roof repairs to whatever needs to be done. So, by the time they graduate high school they are prepared to solve almost any kind of problem they might face in the real world. Many of these young people go onto colleges then and earn college degrees and advanced degrees too. And they are all well served because they are taught be believe they can do anything. They even teach their own classes a lot of the time and so those who are good at a subject teach the others in that subject. So, I was thinking how this attitude of: "I can do anything I put my mind to" is a good one and would serve these children well throughout their lives.
I could see schools like this springing up all over the world where children are taught to think in a way that they can literally solve any problem. This is a good way to be.
I would call this an inventor and entrepreneur's school and the kind of school that children who start their own businesses or farms or family would want to attend. So, literally anyone who wants to "Be the Captain of their own ship" in their lives would want to start their lives like this.
However, I think it likely would be modified for other countries like in Europe and the U.S. and other countries like this in that this school keeps the kids busy solving problems 7 days a week 24 hours a day. So, it takes a whole lot of creative intelligence and innovation to be able to keep this up 7 days a week.
However, in real life as an adult problems come up 7 days a week 24 hours a day. So, learning to cope with literally anything in the real world at each and every point is powerful in becoming an adult.
If you truly believe you can do anything often you can. Because you never give up when failure isn't an option.
This is what adulthood is really like too.
