Getting a college degree is a major life achievement but what happens after you graduate?  Do you jump into the job market?  Do you stay in school and get a Masters?  Those are just some of the questions that Dr. Joseph Atman asks Human Relations Expert Ricklynn Woods in this episode of Educate Everyone.  Ricklynn talks about how to decide if a four-year degree is enough or if a Masters makes sense and puts the spotlight on some of the most common mistakes recent grads make when searching for that elusive first job.  And this episode is not just aimed at 20-somethings. Ricklynn talks about gettting her first degree at the age of 39 and how she strategically planned her entry into the job market.  Her plan is the product of life experience, asking the right questions, remaining curious and doing her due diligence - all leading up to a successful career helping others find their own successes.

In this episode, Dr. Atman discusses the various conflicts that color our world, how we perceive it and how we deal with those challenges.  Oft times, we perceive change as something negative, but Dr. Atman suggests that rather than immediately apply that label, that we let the change play out and we may find that what at first appeared to be a negative can actually turn out to be a positive.  The starting point he says is in reflection; taking the time to identify the experiences, thoughts and cultures that cause us to react as we do and if those elements are identified and recognized, Dr. Atman says we will be able to see things more clearly and for what they are without outside influences changing our perceptions.

Many people think the education system - and many of the systems that we use in society today - don't work and haven't worked for a long time.  In this episode of Educate Everyone, the question posed to Dr. Joseph Atman, founder of Middle Tree Education and the author of A Philosophical War is, if the problems have been known about for some time, then why hasn't someone fixed them.  The answer he says lies in a problem with humans ourselves.  That we need to first address issues with our own consciousness before we can find a way to fix problems within the systems that we have created.  This episode further sets the stage for many riveting answers along with thought provoking questions as we explore The Philosophical War with Dr. Atman.

Jackie and Dr. Atman look back at the beginnings of the program and discuss how the education that Jackie got that summer and later as a high school student returning for after school assistance in some of her courses helped her through both her college career and in life. Jackie talks about continuing her education with a Master's from USC and her plans after graduation.  Dr. Atman explains how the Middle Tree program has evolved in it's first ten years but talks more more about the philosophy behind it which continues to help students with individualized learning.

In this episode of Educate Everyone, Dr. Joseph Atman continues delving into the Introduction of his book A Philosophical War: Antebellum, Enemies & Allies, setting the stage for an exploration of the book's chapters.  He explains that we are at war, with an enemy that has tricked us into accepting the battle as normalcy and looks at what can happen if we don't recognize the threat exists. But, once we do, he says the solution is really not that hard to imagine or accomplish.  Dr. Atman details how and why human beings need to change their consciousness in order to have the lives that they really hope to live.  He also discuss how mean or critical words can have the same kind of impact as weapons when directed at us, but that we have the power and methods to defend ourselves and limit or deflect their impact.

Technology is playing a big role in today's education but what should that involvement look like and how should it be taught. In this Episode of Educate Everyone, our guest is Middle Tree Education Director, LaVona Thomas. In a lively discussion with Dr. Joseph Atman, she talks about how schools have stepped back from teaching many of the subjects that helped earlier generations graduate into adulthood - leaving those things to parents now - who seemingly are leaving it to their children and the Internet to figure them out.  She discusses the lack of cursive writing being taught in today's schools, meaning many young people don't know how to sign their names. But Dr. Atman cautions, it's too early to call these developments bad and explains the thoughts behind his theory of 'wait and see'.

In this episode of Educate Everyone, Dr. Joseph Atman begins detailing his book, A Philosophical War and explains how the book came to me.  After becoming frustrated in how his proposed dissertation was being received, he went with the standard, but always held onto the idea that he would write a book as a way of presenting his thoughts and recommendations for improving our own consciousness and in the process making education more relevant and effective for our children.  The episode is thought-provoking; whether it causes you to re-evaluate your own education experience or to take a deeper look at the education your child is receiving in today's school systems.
