<All kids need to be offered public free pre schools with hot meals at 2.5 years old.> Koan has the grey ooze theory of humans = they are all fungible serfs to the glorious state.

He got the age of Earth wrong and was also wrong on its shape which is NOT round. Giving children simplistic ideas is not necessary. <Because of the combined effects of gravity and rotation, the Earth's shape is not quite a sphere but instead is slightly flattened in the direction of its axis of rotation. For that reason, in cartography the Earth is often approximated by an oblate spheroid instead of a sphere. The current World Geodetic System model uses a spheroid whose radius is 6,378.137 km at the equator and 6,356.752 km at the poles.>



Children can learn words and there's nothing wrong with the words oblate or spheroid.


Just this morning there's ignorance about the matter on TV1 [in NZ] with presenter Paul Henry sniggering that quarter of people didn't know whether Earth goes around Sol or Sol around Earth. Somebody sent in a message that while it might seem pedantic, they both rotate about a third spot which is the centre of gravity of the solar system which is located slightly away from the centre of Sol. Paul scoffed at that person as though they were loopy, thereby showing he belongs with the ignorant group. The worst combination is ignorance and arrogance. But it's common.


Also, a much better education than state serf indoctrination at Stockholm Syndrome centres enforcing LLL ideology is real-world experience tailored to individual children. Children love that instead of the boredom of authoritarian school.
