Advanced Placement Classes
Students should listen to their instincts and not bite off more than they can chew, but rather ease into challenging coursework (such as AP and IB classes). If I were to return to high school (knowing what I know now about myself, academic preferences and capabilities); I still would only take advanced placement classes in a few subjects in which I am deeply passionate at most. Too much pressure academically and emotionally removes the joy of learning resulting in low performing students without vision or passion. School should not be a torture chamber and painful experience. On the contrary, there needs to be time for independent study and cultivating creativity. Only then can students discover their gifts, mature and become high achievers. Unfortunately, much of the present American educational system has confined and crippled students merely making them to be conformists teachers can easily manage within the classroom.

Charter Schools
The educational foundations of American society are eroding as charter schools enter the business of education and are given exemptions that permit mediocrity without standards. The economy and academics of the United States are collapsing like national infrastructure and bridges across the homeland. While I favor as a Christian the freedom of school choice and faith based education, I oppose charter schools that merely operate for profit and prey on unsuspecting ethnic minorities. Christians (and other faith based groups) need schools they can send their children to in order for the many perverse alternative lifestyles being accepted and taught in public schools to not corrupt their children. Yet there are areas of corruption in charter schools operating for profit covertly, while receiving government funding and claiming to be nonprofit, that have yet to be identified and regulated in the legal arena. Moreover the achievement gap identifies disparities in academic performance among races and gender. However traditional measures of “achievement” do not offer a full picture of students’ performance and potential. This is especially true for culturally diverse students. An over reliance on testing outcomes and a narrow definition of “intelligence” has contributed to school inequality. Thus the reform strategy called for and outlined herein will transcend traditional assessment and improve charter schools.

College and Career Counseling
As the father of a 4 year old daughter, college counselor and an educator, it is wonderful and beautiful to see children excited about learning and discovering new things. Simultaneously, it is saddening and disappointing to see high-school students become weary, restless and disengaged in the learning process as they age and mature. The question we must ask ourselves is WHY and WHAT caused these bright young minds to become disillusioned with the joy of learning and discovery? Knowing how the flawed educational system works, schools are run, and teachers approach instruction when delivering their subject matter in the classroom; my synopsis is students get tired of frigid, rigid learning scenarios that quench and stifle their creativity, reduce learning to mere memorization, and do not allow personal expression of their own insights and perspective. Moreover much of what students learn is not made relevant to the world in which they live, meaning that they learn history and things from the past, with no connection to or vision for the future. Understandably, students can lose interest and become frustrated with the learning process. In such a scenario and situation, students often feel like beasts of burden simply trying to please their parents and earn high marks in school, but do not enjoy the learning process itself. We therefore must endeavor to increase students’ level of engagement, enjoyment and love of learning. Paul F.

Life Coaching and Career Development
Jung’s typology is a useful tool for self-examination and interpersonal orientation, which can be used to help individuals understand themselves, grow in self-awareness, navigate interpersonal challenges with others, heal inner and ancestral wounds, and reconcile relationships between people. Although Jung’s personality types can be seen possibly as an oversimplification and categorization labeling people based on how they function (and see themselves at a given point in time when taking a test such as Meyers Briggs); there undoubtedly are insights to be learned and merit in Jung’s approach to understanding humanity. As a student of theology, Paul F. Davis sees human beings as triune: having bodies, minds and spirits. Jung was the son of a Swiss Pastor and his grandfather a clergyman. Therefore Jung understood the spirituality of humanity and the wars within the human soul in search for identity, purpose and meaning. As a Life Coach and Career Counselor, Paul applies Jung’s insights and therapeutic approaches to help humanity (listening to and collaborating with clients first and foremost to unravel the pains of their past and co-create a compelling future).

Paul completed his training in College Counseling with UCLA, earned 4 Master degrees with honors, authored 30 books, and has touched 76 nations as a Worldwide Motivational Speaker speaking for the U.S. Military, Companies, Cruise Lines at Sea, Colleges and Universities throughout the globe.
