Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Some things seem inconsistent

Alright I have seen the whole "3am buy our product" all thruogh high school. Just yesterday I finally said, "well I'll do it. I'm going to mail the check tomorrow and I'll get the package. Then I want to know what happens... I read all the time. My speed Is very slow sometimes. Sometimes I can get into a book and be done with it fairly quick but my question is if this thing works then why isn't it already instated as part of the cirriculum in the public school system? Okay I understand that money is soemthing that everyone shoulod have but illiteracy is a disease that has reached epidemic proportions. Why then would someone who had the cure for cancer only sell it to the highest bidder? It's like this if you have the cure for cancer and you don't try get it to those who have cancer then they die but if you have the cure for illiteracy and you only do minimal things to get it to those who can afford it then those who are illiterate Live? I guess this would only be a question for the owner of the program. So, which would you choose?

For what my two cents are worth, I think the reason this program would not benefit those who cannot read, is because you have to be able to understand the written language before you can benefit from PRing. I'm still in my infancy here in the PR world, but I think I've learned enough to understand that you have to be able to read in the traditional manner before your mind will be able to make the transition to reading at light speed.

An apt example would be if I were to try to PR a Russian text, in cyrillics, or try to get something out of Arabic. I couldn't even pronounce a word in cyrillics, even though I understand much of what is said verbally, based on my waivering fluency in Czech, because many of the words have similar root phonemes that are attached to similar meanings. Nevertheless, you might as well give me something to read in Sanskrit as Cyrillic, because it's all Greek to me.

I hope I'm making sense. I agree that PR should be a part of the curriculum taught in our schools, but it would probably be best suited for capable readers say 5th grade and up, or something like that. Unfortunately, this may be the equivalent to a really effective surgical technique, but it is no cure for cancer.

All I meant was that if this does work... mind you I am finally ordering one... if it works then why has it not been established in the school system as the way to learn to accelerate reading and learning for that matter?? Too expensive maybe?? I don't know I dont want to hack anyone off its just everyone should be able to read and with this key to the mind everyone, for thge sake of advancing humanity should be introduced to this program.

The answer is simple as it is painful... People hate change. Every change made to school teaching techniques is looked at with suspicion... debated in the governments. They haven't even adopted basic accelerative learning techniques in school, what makes you think that a new way to read is going to be easy to adopt?

When people notice that some seem to have an unfair advantage... having learnt something unique then it might slowly find its way into mainstream education.

Meantime the younger photoreaders have the unfair advantage, mind you some of them had to pester their parents to be allowed to give learning to photoread a go so any advantage they have, they've definately earned.

The way of reading throughout mankind has been the same for centuries. So yes, they're afraid of change. It works. . .but doesn't work best when the research/proof rolls around of something better. Trust us, if you go to the principal of any intermediate/high school within your area, they'll look at you like you're either crazy, pulling a joke, or are just plain a fake. There's a lot of 'em, trust me.

Some that I've demonstrated to think I'm pulling some sort of magic trick after I do it, and answer all questions correct.

As for getting this information that I need in school, yeah. . .I've got an advantage. And once I'm good enough - people will see an awakened giant.

We at LSC have tried for 17 years to bring PhotoReading into education. Pete went to his alma Mater, Gustavus Adolfus in Minnesota, and proved PhotoReading to them in 1985. They were impressed but did not pursue. Over the years we have had several teachers and instructors learn the process and integrate at least some of the process into their curriculum.

Lucky for us they decided to market it. At least this way it has a chance of becomming more widely used.
