Thought Experiments

The Velja Approach to Schooling would encourage children to engage in "Thought Experiments".

Einstein engaged in such experiments when he was conceiving of his ideas in Physics, such as imagining a police officer chasing a beam of light and where the officer would find himself in relation to the beam of light.

The mind is humanity's unique resource among the species of planet Earth.

It's heartfelt cultivation is our greatest fulfillment.

Another kind of Thought Experiment would be mental role play.

"Imagine you are a child in Ancient Rome. We are going to dim the lights, and now take your mind back to that time long ago, and be a child then."

The exercise would last as long as the child found it interesting, and then the experience would be talked about the next day.

It is imperative that the child be allowed to take all the time THEY desire to dedicate to the exercise, whether that be minutes or the entirety of the day.

Limited Time creates Limited People.
