Stop – Economics and Education Letters

This is over the top only if you make it so. 

I beg that you see our deflection of your request as a positive expectation.  This call for more innovation with an immaterial guarantee is everything worth begging for.  It is so very important.  You say, we will not consider activating our cry to innovate with first things first thinking in a new design.   We say, ultimately there is no choice if real solutions are desired.   We fear your conclusion of being out of position or out of power is just not the ending.  We will have to stay in touch.  You insist, in your business, that your changes are based on highest quality thinking and innovation for lowest total cost, but… you want to disconnect from first things first thinking when it comes to project your influence.

Well, you are a higher power and you know truthfully that there are even higher powers working with first things first thinking, with increased discipline and commitment, to actually meet the requirements of the next step.  This reminder a month… seems small when it also contributes to moving the most at risk to our world of early reading work, networks and expectations.  This insignificant USA VALUES’ role is to publish the end in mind need for our powerful economics assuring innovators a true ROI for those who have the most to gain. 

I promised your call to the school district would not cost you more cash.  100% ready starts set the stage for making everything different, school district by district, for the 21^st century and you can project the new money to exist.  The expectation is more important and dramatic than capping the gulf oil leak.  Really, you know, everything is different when the gap is closed at the source.  The district has externalities and cannot start the journey without you challenging and supporting them to honor the most basic science of dependent event management in systems to achieve more throughput / proficiency, less total cost and less loss from in-process education.  

Of course you already know USA is without grassroots power at a school district level to overtake the externalities.  The first things first solution reaches into the pre-k complexities.  But you are not without the initial power of influence and suggestion in a new design.  That is all it will take.

Are Enough Businesses Asking WHAT?

5^th Information Bite

Are Enough Businesses Asking WHAT?

The challenge to innovate from several of the Fortune 1000 helps USA VALUES positioning of the “first moving school districts” with their opportunity  -  Opportunity to create their own new money for their own definition of high quality improvement and increased successful throughput.  The district proposed process has been accepted as “too logical” by one superintendent and school board member.  And, parts of this concept are in operation today.

Your role starts with a simple statement that your company would consider, under further review,

asking a school district or two to cause 100% early reading skills delivered to kindergarten

starting with the most at risk children.

First moving districts will agree to undergo scientific changes to create their own system of improvement removing capacity constraints and remedial efforts that have increased total cost.  You know from innate understanding of process that everything would be different if the system started with 100% reading, counting and emotional proficiency.  You know;  1)  if there is going to be difficulty in creating readiness in age 0-6 children - earlier is better than later and simple early requirements are better than complex; and  2)  private sector leadership measures throughput and total cost against 100% for many large benefits; and  3)  it is time to share the thinking and processes with public education systems; and 4)  100% objectives expose all the issues to the progress but as mentioned in letter 4 only work on the real whole system constraints (1 or 2 max) will generate continuous improvement.  What is first things first is not optional or judgemental.

Our alignment with you and the school district in the process of creating the new money to reach 100% readiness delivery is unique – Your cash is not used; the school’s traditional sources of cash are used, and if required you collateralize their borrowing for this very specific effort.   Your venture collateral under our School District Credit Demanding Skills (SDCDS) contracts your assurance that payback will be made.  Your collateral does not play without district contracted commitment and local effort that include specific Theory of Constraints continuous improvement and Early Reading Skills Delivered processes that generate local admiration for the courage to reach 100%  for the 21^st century.

We have a 20 point discussion agenda for large business.  Our Positive Expectations home page makes an issue about reaching 100% and links to our nation’s effort that does not.   We are not writing a book, points are being published via email to the CEOs in single page digest bites.  The emails and twitter will measure the commitment of our nation’s private sector to first things first benefits.  Is 100% readiness before age 6 really defining the gap?  This presentation of alignment http://www.usa-positive-expectations.com/support-files/alignments.pdf  is for CEOs.  

 Please contact me for that important no choice discussion.

Must Prompt Innovation- Growth Economics, Education, Emotions and Ethics

4^th Request, thank you for your time.

Wish there was a choice, but...

100 companies of the Fortune 1000 companies would represent 10% of 15 Trillion dollars of value positioning (not spending) to insist on first things first attention. If there were 200 companies (it costs nothing to lead the positioning of innovation), what then? The most at risk could be mentored through and with mom without changing anything today. Not one Fortune 1000 dollar is to be spent within this venture collateral model. A pledge limited to an immaterial fraction of 1% creates a very powerful call to innovate -first things first- and just take care of the start to high quality for 100%. Nothing is going on today that addresses 100%; that is the grass root key to public school effectiveness in education, economics, emotions and ethics.

Without a focus on 100%, our systems just don’t deal with some issues and real total cost is not addressed.  You know this.  See our first three letters http://chardevelactivity.blogspot.com/2013/03/request-afterresponse-dear-fortune1000.html); the issue and choice will never go away. Say yes and climb the right mountain.  Any other decision keeps you in base camp or climbing the wrong mountain according to Stephen Covey. I have many positive reasons making me so bold to try and intrude on the Fortune 1000.  You also have many reasons right now to get to yes.   

You have the power to help schools see first things first and make this happen.  Besides the pure joy that takes over when children read the first and second Bob Book before they are 5 years old, the ERSD-RA contracting by the school district with the local preschool juggernaut would economically grow the delivery capacity to the exact requirement of the district.

The Fortune 1000 intruding with commitment here, for the most at risk first, is an innovation K-12 districts have been talking about without new money for 20 plus years. Help the districts, with leverage earn the new money with new commitment to their own designed high quality innovation and savings; with a new scientific understanding of the important first things first capacity constraints.

A few districts are further along this path than others but rarely address the early literacy issue as if it were equal to the early safety issue and even more rarely do they see it as the capacity constraint that could eliminate excess costs.  Simply, leaders owe it to themselves and their company to prompt innovation based on first thing first expectations for 100% delivery, in addition to everything else your company is doing.

Please set up the discussion with me, I have a very simple first step.

Third Letter to Fortune 1000

Dear Fortune 1000 CEO

3^rd Request

Thanks you for your time.  Education reform seems to always be calling and I understand charters, vouchers, common core, STEM and vested interests in those and other steps to increase capacity and results.  All remedial efforts to increase proficiency are good.  100% delivery of early reading and math skills in all day kindergarten are  better.  100% delivery of early reading skills, counting and understanding positive direction before kindergarten are best. The bridge to best does not have to cost more money and your company as one of the largest is critical to providing the leverage base to that bridge.  
 

 Our frame calling for action includes PVofPE-Prek a recent development set of math concepts. And, FTFRTFT a science of incurred time to finish developed in the last 30 years. And ERSD-RA an absolutely required reaction to new scientific knowledge of brain synaptic closings on empty because we adults allow it  http://bit.ly/oRiw79

I am writing to the CEO to talk about the brain power that we are not creating first things first (FTFRTFT) that would have a chance to solve the STEM shortage, and others, way into our children’s future.   Your company has the power on earth with other Fortune 1000 companies (subject to even higher power not seen) to change everything.  First things first focus on at risk age 0-6 children brain synaptic closings on literacy and order will change everything.  You know it is important to get this right after 50 years of “reform”.

The Fortune 1000 has the “venture collateral” to insist that school districts innovate on a first things first basis with economic definitions of quality, internal and external customers, throughput, and total cost among other innovations so that our nation stops wasting the millions of lives per year needed to sustain and grow our future.  The market value of the Fortune 1000 exceeds $15 Trillion and dwarfs other sources of leverage to innovation.     

We want to listen to why the power so important to our future positive expectations will not:

1.        Issue the no cost challenge to school districts that leverage innovation and creates new venture money for schools  that in turn creates the $500,000 present value of positive expectation (PVofPE-Prek) in each at risk child at age 6.  Two million children, each year, need this positive expectation. In your business positive expectations drive everything.  

2.       Help the k-12 school districts with proven world changing innovation of FTFRTFT, Quality is Free, Constraint Management, Throughput Accounting, Total Cost Consideration and others.  Our free society has benefited from this in abundance, built one size fits one first things first, but suffers because high quality is only partially delivered.  The USA cry for high quality Literacy is Freedom  has only “you” in position to insist on 100%  initial delivery.  The final 30-80% of our population is proving to be a high quality challenge in varying degrees. In your business you insist on adequate attention to 100% of any capacity constraint at risk of not meeting the requirement.  The districts and all the age 0-6 children are at risk of low expectations right now. 75 future years depends on how they start now. 

3.       Insist the remedial dollar reach the most at risk of those at risk and at the same time patch the leaks to the 100% delivery process of ready to read, count and understand positive direction starting kindergarten.  In your business you would patch the leaks yesterday.  Early Reading Skills Delivered (ERSD-RA) as continuous improvement in the market will reroute the pre-k dollar to 100% delivery after you insist and prime the innovation with collateral so that it also creates New Money from old money. This is quite simple to execute.    

Again it is not about what we are doing.  It is about the leverage power that we are not using to prompt specific school districts to innovate and create positive expectations with the money already in the systems.  The money to first things first innovate is always within the system of interested paying clients. School districts are no exception. Repeating only you have the power to boost innovation for the most at risk.  The leaders who will not commit to real high quality processes when positioned with New Money are not the leaders for USA’s future. The Fortune 1000 proves every day that innovation creates money and “how” is relevant to every organization on earth. The Fortune 1000 has the key to how the front end creates the positive expectation.

I can assure you our needs are not in the area of hand outs, contributions or covering expected expenses.  We will not solicit your company until we listen for the specific fit, unless asked.  We think the fit will be win-win because your size still requires staying power in the USA built on first things first, trust and emotional intelligence.  Certainly literacy, freedom and order are required.   Every large company in the USA would benefit from urban economic growth because of education.   Real Eastate and smaller business might track to the economic benefits even sooner.

Consider this partial letter a pleading for the no choice discussion that would complete it.  When might I call? We want you to project and position the no choice positive expectations that spread from high quality leadership.

Is It Time Yet? Imagine Yourself a 3 Year Old At Risk Child

Before you read this blog, imagine you are a 3 year old at risk child and your mother is going to deliver you to kindergarten NOT ready to read and there is nothing you can do about it.  And you understand the investment to get ready has been talked about (in design) by the powerful for 20 years, but the design is so expensive it makes the mountain climb ahead even more formidable and the leadership willing to do anything but first things first, in front of all that money spent K-12, that would not be needed, if you were ready.   Who steps in with a hand up to ME?  In 2 short years your going to teach me to help my neighbor, right?  It might look like a hand out to mom, but to me, the rest of my life might hinge on it.  There are 2,000,000 kids like me. 

What is my economic ready or not?  It is at least $500,000 according to John Grisham who is known to “get it”!  That is a trillion dollars of future growth a year, or not.   Why don’t you write the ending, or the beginning.  Keep it short and we can publish it.  But, remember there are 2,000,000 just like me next year and per year after that.  Our GDP is stuck at 15 trillion dollars and appears to say my growth is not a positive expectation; is not wanted; literacy is not freedom unless delivered overseas; quality is not free, and a half trillion dollar ROI on cost of 30 billion is not good enough. 

If you think I am out to lunch, say so.  Be polite, it is a blog with many links to positive expectations.

President USA VALUES,LLC, 651-735-3018, tdw.usavalues@q.com

Business Greeting Card -- Enjoy Your Freedom

Greetings to each and every business and organization in the USA.

We position business of all sizes to influence from all levels, the local school district's attitude about constraints to do first things first. 

We suggest tweaks to the public systems will restart, within present funding leverage, local districts focus on 100% of age 0-6 at risk children, and mothers with literacy mentors to create proficient students who graduate; demonstrating resiliency and positive expectations when necessary.    

You know Early Literacy is Freedom!  And, expensive beyond recovery when missed.

You will want to know how we plan to present this because the whole of the plan is unique even though nothing is new. 

Please call me and I will walk you through the links and what is first things first in ten minutes.

1. We must start with the end in mind. http://www.usa-positive-expectations.com/end-in-mind.html

2.  At risk mom and child must understand the importance.  The PSM is:
 
"Delivery of early reading skills is a Critical Gift. Without this Gift,
all children are behind before they start kindergarten.  Business wants to make certain this is understood and help exists if mom needs it."  http://www.usavaluescoupons.com/


3.  When at risk mom and child ask for help the school district must deliver the help without delay or else the most at risk mom will disappear.  The new money for new deliver is discussed here. Schools Can't get to 100% readiness if the most at risk don't believe and stay focused with the help.  The basic is so very important, who do they trust?
http://www.usa-positive-expectations.com/Arguments.html  

USA VALUES, LLC President, Thomas Wolfgram commented, "It is important to develop access to new money for school districts without new taxes for new early reading skills delivered to our most at risk children before kindergarten. USA VALUES clarifies the concepts of first things first right the first time (FTFRTFT) and the present value of positive expectations from pre-k (PVofPE-Prek) to create the new money in an Early Reading Skills Delivered process (ERSD-RA) .”

"Importantly; FTFRTFT, PVofPE-Prek and ERSD-RA can be used to create new money with innovation and requirements."

The requirement of pre-k ready to read, count and understand positive direction (ERSD-RA) before kindergarten has the potential to change everything about the education and poverty gaps. http://www.usa-positive-expectations.com/ and http://www.usavaluescoupons.com.  The “system” to complete the delivery of early reading skills to all young children (age 0-6) as a start in life is strong for some and weak for others. It is exactly the wrong place to have a weak system. USA VALUES would clarify the interest and influence of the school district’s spending to be proficient starting kindergarten and as a follow on to the kindergarten ready start.

Our Request of Powerful School Districts, Government and Business

http://www.usa-positive-expectations.com/Business_Survey.html

http://www.usa-positive-expectations.com/support-files/survey.pdf

We ask the powerful in the schools, government, and business to take our survey so we can be assured they understand how important they are to the age 3-6 at risk children.  At risk is defined to be those that will in the opinion of Mom show up for kindergarten not ready to read, count and understand positive direction.

We link to the Survey, It has Business, School and Veteran components.

We list the organizations we have asked to take the survey

We call this a cloud grip because it is published on line as a part of our blog sites, in the cloud

Call Tom Wolfgram at 651-735-3018 or email him from the web site links
