You know, I’ve been reading a lot about this "critical race theory" and whether it's being taught in some schools, but I haven’t been able to find a lesson plan yet. A lot of people and parents are taking some issue with the merits of the lesson plan, but I’m not sure what it says exactly.
It seems to be the best-kept secret around.
For sure it’s important to know that "racism" represents ugly behavior, and there is a lot of benefit in not having a racial nature or attitude against other people, but I’m not sure what teachings are provided that will help today’s students strive to eradicate racism.
If the lesson plan serves to make the world a better place and our students embrace the course study and apply some good principles, then I suspect there could be a lot of benefit.
But I’ve been thinking recently that we might be able to do even better if we applied a little more effort in teaching one how to behave appropriately in all things.
Maybe someone could write a lesson plan and call it, well, "critical behavior theory," or how to behave in life and build a better you.
What could we possibly include in this lesson plan?
Perhaps we could begin by resurrecting for our young students an element once embraced as "civility," or "formal politeness and courtesy in behavior and speech."
I’m thinking that would be a good start for the entire academic world. It could benefit those expanding students' minds in one’s large academic arena.

Maybe we could have another element about how to respect all people regardless of race or nationality. If one could learn very early in life how to get along with each other, perhaps many problems of racism might be eliminated. Maybe exercises of people with different backgrounds teaming together to solve problems could be part of this curriculum.
If one never learns how to respect others and play and work together, the prevalence of racism and strife is unlikely to change.
And here is a biggie; maybe we could teach all kids how to be kind to others and avoid those hurtful negatives of life that seem to always get us into trouble. Let’s practice eliminating hate and bullying.
Maybe we could make a list of other things not to do when you grow up like:
You should not murder.
You should not steal or cheat.
You should not give false testimony and lie.
You should not hate or do drugs.
Instead, you should, well, just "love one another."
I might be plagiarizing here; I think I’ve read a few of these somewhere else.
There are a lot of do's and don’ts in life, and some of these lessons seem to be absent from the home setting for young people these days.
Try not to grow up and do any of that nasty stuff.
Yes, maybe we should develop and implement a lesson plan on how to behave and grow into a responsible adult.
Do good deeds often; become a contributing citizen; and go forth to make this world a better place. I am beginning to like this outline.
Can you imagine a world where all people behave and follow good rules? Yep, critical behavior theory just might be the answer to all our problems.
And while we’re talking about destructive behaviors, perhaps our students of tomorrow should be kinder to even nature.
It is right to protect your environment, do not waste, or destroy that very nature that has provided so much for you.
Be good stewards of the world and behave yourselves a little along the way, says the signpost up ahead.
There are a lot of exciting lessons to be had in life if only we had more good role models (i.e., parents, teachers, police officers, chaplains, employers, neighbors, politicians, etc.).
How are kids supposed to learn from the cradle anyway?
Home environments without teaching and loving parents are most likely the culprit of many behavioral problems in the first place. Can we then expect our schools to replace parenting while throwing out those life preservers of learning? This may be an academic challenge.
But, hey, if one can still learn how to add 2 plus 2, there might be some hope yet.
Yep, I’m fairly convinced that if someone could come up with a good lesson plan on critical behavior theory, we could improve this world.
Maybe we could call our lesson plan "Make Good Behavior the Best." Can you imagine the goodness and possibilities of such a plan?
One can only dream, huh?
I wonder what my friend Starlene, a teacher, thinks.
