The Beautiful Problem— makes a beautiful school system
The Beautiful Problem:
How to get nside
what students
need to succeed
utside at school and in real life?
It’s that simple.
To see why, watch this video.
The significance
Naming The Beautiful Problem as the right problem is no small thing.
School districts fail by attempting to solve, not just the wrong problem, but an impossible problem: How to get students, all different, to learn at the same pace?
School districts can realistically succeed with The Beautiful Problem — which has already been solved.
Solving it happens in two columns:
Column 1 — Educating
Inner Educational Exercises
Using new educating skills to lead Inner Educational Exercises, students get inside what they need to succeed:
- the wise part within
- the skill-of-the-will
- wellness
- hope
Column 2 — Learning
Students apply themselves with a will

Failing cheerfully
Persisting curiously
Students start breaking out of same-pace learning — as their independent abilities grow.
The two beautiful results
Result 1
Each individual student
becomes educated — able to use inner autonomy to apply themselves at school and in real life.
Result 2
The one-and-many
Now, even though there is only:
- the-one educator in the classroom
- the-many students can learn — and help each other learn — in their own learning zones (for parts of the day).
And it’s already been done
