The Communication Architect

"Children enter school as questions marks," Neil Postman chastised, "and they leave school as periods." What is happening in the scholastic environment to crush intrigue? Developmentalists have shown that children have what is known as epistemic curiosity, a need for understanding. But when they enter a traditional school environment, their question rate drops from one every two minutes to less than one every two hours. Modern education is not inspiring curiosity; it's undermining it, silencing it. Join Dr. Dunne on today's show as we unpack the value of a question, and learn how you can stoke the fires of curiosity by utilizing the Socratic method with your children, grandchildren, college students, and employees.

Have you ever wondered about the power of words? Not just the words we speak over ourselves and our circumstances, but about the collective power of words as a culture-shaping entity? What if words were being used all around us right now to shift ideas, to create division, to engineer a future for our nation? Join Dr. Lisa Dunne for an interview with John Brown graduate Dr. Marlene McMillan, author of Mountains of Deceit: How the Dialectic Process has Infected the Culture. When we are surrounded by mindless, dull words that sear our consciences, we lose our individuality, our capacity for personal decision making, and our liberty is at stake. "Whoever controls the language controls the outcome," Dr. Marlene says. Learn how you can apply the language of liberty instead of the language of bondage over your realm of influence.

In the 20 years since Dr. Dunne has been a homeschooling parent, she has seen more and more evidence of the fallout from traditional education. All around us, in our communities and our churches, we see the tragic fruit of a sterile, soulless process of educational methodologies that literally suck the joy out of learning. Whether you are considering home education or have been a homeschooler for many years, discover some relatable content and hope for the future in today's show. You can join us on the academic rescue mission for PK to 12th grade at www.AcademicRescueMission.com or for college at www.CVCU.us. See you there!

How is your current mindset affecting your home, your business, your friendships, your future? Our brains forge new neural networks according to our existing mental associations, the feedback loop of our expectations. What we believe internally affects our world externally by shaping our interpretation of reality. What can you do to break free from a problematic paradigm? Join Dr. Lisa on today's show to find out! 

Parents often buy the lie that they are not equipped, not educated, not "expert" enough to homeschool their kids. The data proves otherwise! Moms, dads, you are the number one ingredient required for your child's socio-academic success! Join Dr. Lisa Dunne as she interviews fellow homeschool leader Diana Kluwin, and learn about the many support options available to you as a homeschool family, including record keeping and coaching. Public charters tell you what to teach and how to teach it--and then grade your work to make sure you are teaching it their way! That's not parent-directed education. Parents, it's time to break free from the system. You can do this; we can help! Learn more about starting your own church-based community education model at AcademicRescueMission.com. 

Modern education is broken, and the result has been disastrous dysfunction in our nation's youngest citizens. Maybe your kids or grandkids have come home saying they've been bullied or pressured by classmates or teachers. Maybe you've seen the conversations on social media demonstrating the sociopolitical nonsense that has pervaded America's classrooms. Or maybe you've read the stats on the illiteracy rates, drug rates, suicide-ideation and violence and angst. Parents, grandparents, it's time for a diversion from this disastrous dysfunction. Join Dr. Lisa Dunne on today's show to find out what you can do to help rescue the next generation. And don't forget to register for our summer conference at CVCU.us. 

In the 1960s, a phrase was circulated on public television as a result of rising crime in the city: "It's 10pm. Do you know where your children are?" The PSA was supposed to alert parents to check in on their kids and make sure they were safe. Today, the question is a sobering reminder for public school parents. "Do you know where your children are?" In today's interview, Pacific Justice Institute President Brad Dacus shares about an alarming public school trend: students in government education centers are being taken from their homes after confiding in a teacher or guidance counselor about some point of disagreement with a parent. This is yet one more example of the toxic traits of traditional education. Parents, learn more about the perils of public ed on today's interview, and find out what you can do to break free from the system. Education is broken. We can fix it.
