Office Outbursts: Lessons from Education

Now, here are ten more nuggets that I picked up from the public (and private) educational school systems:

1. 'go to school'

2. 'mix up your friends and atmosphere - if you can'

3. 'ask your teacher what to expect on "test day" to aid in your study time'

4. 'graduate high school'

5. 'attend college'

6. 'seek the truth'

7. 'do not tell the truth'

8. 'leave knowledge, theories, curiosity, and "the sciences" to the Geniuses'

9. 'marry that sweetheart - or chase your dream to be a _________'*

10. 'age with the planet to become with it, again'



*Or try both, I don't know. It is your world.

Office Outbursts: Rules from Education

Here are ten little nuggets I was told as I grew up in the public educational school system:

1. 'go to school'

2. 'memorize and regurgitate the notes from the day before'*

3. 'graduate high school'

4. 'go to college'

5. 'work hard'

6. 'receive your diploma'

7. 'find a job'

8. 'begin a "family"'

9. 'repeat steps 1-6 for your kids'

10. 'grow old and know that you became a "successful" person'**



*This area could have been approached a bit better from my end in my opinion - seeing as how I took classes on the "semi-advanced" end, this genre of students is what makes (made) the majority of the class total anyways. I only imagine if this area was lower of the "semi" and applied more to appeal to the student that needed something more to explore.

**If working a job that you hated, never pursuing that 'idea' or dream that you had in the back of your mind, simply due to non-motivational tasks and reminders, that sucks to hear. Success is a relative word, and by completing the check-list of the standardized culture, it does NOT mean you are happy and successful.

(Or maybe it does, shhhii..... I dont know)

C.U.E. Art Department Special Offer

Creative University of Earthling
Arts Dept.

February 24, 2014





                Dear Earthling Parents with Earthling Children,

We here at CUE know how hard it is to get your child to be more excited about learning and education, especially while at home around the various distractions that are youth face.

With this free promotional offer, we are inviting YOU to get Bugged!

The characters of the English alphabet have been created into these animated insects of the Kingdom Sun world, for getting your child more interested and excited about wanting to learn, and have fun with you in the process.

Here are a few ideas we have put together for the art of adventure for the whole family to enjoy:

The Bug Catcher:** Simply place the bugs around the home, in various places, and have the child find, write the bug down, and think of 3* words that this bugs letter begins with.

Mix and Match:** Place letter along a wall and try to see how words can made using the letters on the wall.

Letter Labeling:** Have the bugs placed on items that begin with or have an association with the bugs letter. (For example, the ‘telephone’ would have the bug letter “T” on it)

Vowel Pal:** Make a list of words that require vowels to found and placed for completion. (TR_ _ N [train]

Mumbo Jumbo: ** You have your child lay out the first 8* letters they can find, and write out how many words they can make within 15* seconds just using these 8* selected cards.

If able, use the team factor with searching for words, or try adults versus the kids approach for an intense competition of family fun and learning.

The Links for printable download are listed below.

We hope you can enjoy these family learning adventures, or even create your own.





*All numbers and variables depend on your household and the current level of learning your child has adapted thus far.
**Remember, every child is different, and some adult guidance and supervision may be used in order for games to be ran and enjoyed smoothly.
