Community Compacts

Community compacts can be powerful tools to strengthen
education by improving community involvement.

The Timeless Way Institute has a description of community
compacts and a sample Compact for Education.

The Winding Spring Process of Education, described below, is
an advanced framework for interaction between community and
the process of education. Until we have more enlightened
leadership and more community involvement, parents need to
focus on skill mastery and leadership training for their children.

Math and reading are examples of skills for mastery.
Leadership training can be taught by parents a number of ways.
There are leadership lessons in the Bible as well as in a books
like On Duties (De Officiis) by Cicero.

The Winding Spring Process of Education

We have prepared some documents describing the Winding
Spring Process of Education. Remember, these are advanced
ideas.

For parents wanting to provide a free coding environment for

professional tool, so the installation is a bit of work, but it is a
free tool used by many professionals.

Logic in programming requires understanding truth tables for
the AND and OR logical operators. Here is a truth table, hand
written, for the AND and OR operators, including the bit-wise
operators that are used in C Programming. As a bonus, there is
a second page that has the truth tables for the conditional and
biconditional operators, which are used in mathematical proofs.
The 2nd page is for math, not for programming.
