Subject: this email is for your

hi – I am trying to find a way to introduce the business
of “money creation” in to the school curriculum without it creating a single
obstacle and of course just finding the time to do anything when you are
already so understaffed is “back breaking”.
Breaking my heart is the
fact that what I am proposing is not only so easy but more importantly it is
totally “non-confrontational” given how smoothly it can be introduced to kids
without them feeling that they are having this so important subject “shoved
down their throats” bearing in mind that there is of course a good reason why
this most important subject that combines history, politics and economics all
in to one is something none of us were taught and that includes the rather hard
working folks in China who seem to want to embrace understanding this business despite
them having so little time as they go about perfecting their industrial
machine.
In order for me to give us
Americans a “fighting chance” which I believe can only take place within your
kind of schooling environment I need to know more about both your “time
constraints”, i.e. lack of “human power” and other precious resources as well
the school curriculum particularly as it relates to history and more
specifically how you go about moving from the American Civil War to the first
world war.
Let me know what you are
thinking.
