Education After the Collapse: Free eBook

Todd Sepulveda, the chief editor of Prepper Website, has released a free eBook, titled, “Education After the Collapse”. In it, Todd describes a fictional community surviving in the aftermath of an economic collapse. It is not a pretty picture and most certainly it will make you want to sit back and think (as well as ratchet up the preps more than just a little bit.)
But his intent is not to scare and create panic. Rather, with this brief introduction, the intent is to set you on a track for thinking about an aspect of prepping you rarely hear about: the education of our children and the leaders of the next generation.
School When There is No Classroom
Using his background and passion as an educator, Todd writes about teaching and puts it in the context of the old days – not unlike Laura Ingalls in her series of books titled Little House on the Prairie. Back then traditional schoolhouses were few and far between. They were predominately in the cities and towns and only randomly scattered in rural communities. There were no electronics, no calculators, and no cyberspace and Internet to use for research purposes.
The schoolhouse was more likely the kitchen table, with Mom and Dad pitching in to teach their children and loved ones the basics of reading, math and science. And that is where this eBook shines: as a tool for helping you prepare for a possible time when a traditional school is not available to educate our children.
In Education After the Collapse, you will be reminded that different children – and people for that matter – have different capacities and styles of learning. That said, within the scope of those differences, teaching children to solve problems and think critically is probably the most important lesson of all. In 45 pages (including the appendix), suggestions are provided for embracing project-based learning, regardless of individual learning capacities and maturities.
Quite remarkable, if you ask me. After all, when is the last time your local school district even mentioned this?
The Final Word
Please do not think this eBook is just for families. The first section alone, describing a fictional community after the collapse, is worthy of a download (which is 100% free by the way). I read it and was immediately taken into the future; a future that may never happen but is still within the realm of probability.
But even more important, if you care about our world and you care about society, you will want to read the rest of Education After the Collapse. And after reading it? You just might want to stock up on some textbooks, paper, writing materials, and flash cards so that you will have them for the children of the unprepared – if and when the time comes.
