Note on the following article:
“The following is part of an article which appeared in the local,
Baton Rouge, daily newspaper. This same article can be repeated in
newspapers all across America. Read it and weep! Then realize, it
doesn’t have to be this way. Focused Guided Imagery can help.”

Despite pockets of excellence, East Baton Rouge Parish schools showed
at best sporadic improvement, and a few experienced worrying declines on
standardized tests given in March.
The school system on Wednesday released results for 91 schools,
spanning grades three through 11.
Fourth grade was the strongest single grade in East Baton Rouge
Parish this year, as it was for the state as a whole. Six out of 10
Baton Rouge fourth-graders passed on the first try in March.
Lasalle, Merrydale and Polk elementary schools all improved their
fourth-grade passage rates by 20 points or more compared with a year
ago.
Over the past three years, only Lasalle, Ryan, South Boulevard,
Wildwood and Winbourne elementaries have been able to maintain similarly
high growth. Forest Heights and Westdale Heights improved even faster;
they, however, were converted in fall 2004 to dedicated magnet schools.
The schools whose fourth-grade passage rates declined the most during
the past three years are Buchanan, Eden Park, Lanier, Scotlandville
(formerly Harding) and Sharon Hills elementary schools.
“People have traditionally
keyed on that fourth grade, putting all their best resources in there
because that had the biggest weight,” Baird said.
Our education system is broken. The news article you just read makes
it clear, what we’ve been doing is not working.
Here at Focused Guided Imagery, we know that America’s educational
system is broken. We believe America is the greatest country in the
world we just have not allowed our education system to tap into the
power of the subconscious mind. We simply, in too many cases, have
allowed our students to glide through without learning to seriously
focus and concentrate in the classroom, in study and in test taking.
Don’t take our word for it, look at the skyrocketing number of college
freshmen who now are enrolled in remedial courses. This is because they
are not on the college level academically. Junior College enrollment
across this country is literally, “through the roof” because, in too
many cases, our young people are not ready for college.
If your high school or middle school child is not focusing and
concentrating, if you know your child is not reaching their potential,
don’t delay, don’t wait, don’t think it’s merely something they will
“grow out of.” Students don’t wake up one day and decide, “I’m going to
start applying myself, I’m going to start making passing grades starting
today.” In the vast majority of cases, students who make the better
grades in middle school, earn the better grades in high school, the
better grades in college and in life.
As a life coach I can tell you, there is no magic “po-po dust” to
sprinkle on students. The students who become winners are the students
who are strong in three areas; classroom, study and test taking. Here
at Focus Guided Imagery we specialize in walking our clients through the
process of using the power of their subconscious minds to improve in all
three areas.
Our sessions last about 3 hours and are broken down into 45 minute
segments. Most clients tell us they don’t notice anything different at
all when they leave the session. Others say, they just went to sleep
and don’t remember anything. The reality is, their conscious minds and
their bodies were relaxed but their subconscious minds heard every
suggestion of how, if they will allow, they can master the science of
learning. At that point, the positive seeds have been planted and if
watered, fertilized and placed in the sun, they will grow. This is why
it is so important to guard what goes into your mind. The subconscious
mind doesn’t care if what you put into it is positive or negative, it
will grow.
What our education system needs is not more money, what our education
system needs is, among other things, students who are equipped to do
what it takes to win. Focused Guided Imagery can give them just that,
if they will allow it.
