We are currently involved in wars, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Ukraine, but without straining ones mind we can see this war scenario is set to expand, Iran being the prime example and the fall out from the Ukrainian troubles has pitched NATO against Russia. As such the countries the elite want fighting the expanded war must be programmed to fight it, from childhood.
Enter the Academy agenda.

So heinous is the agenda suffered by our children in silence, we have made it our prime mission to inform as many people as possible the plight of their very own sons and daughters.

The following is aimed directly at teachers and all personnel operating or rather suffering, the current education system across Britain today.

Friedrich Wilhelm August Froebel
As with most great ideas, we find they emanate from the wealthier class. Friedrich Wilhelm August

Froeble is no exception to this rule, from Wikipedia :
Friedrich Wilhelm August Froebel (or Froebel) April 21, 1782, June 21, 1852), was a German pedagogue, a student of Pestalozzi who laid the foundation for modern education based on the recognition that children have unique needs and capabilities. He developed the concept of the kindergarten, and also coined the word now used in German and English.

Friedrich Froebel was born at Oberweibach in the Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt in Thuringia. His father who died in 1802, was the pastor of the orthodox Lutheran (alt-lutherisch) parish there.

It would seem Froebel himself was moved by good intentions, but it is clear he was surrounded by folk with agendas, people with secret connections waiting in the wings for his idea to be accepted and implemented, and therefore funded by the taxpayer, in order they could have it serve the hidden agenda at minimal cost. One of the agendas under which his influencers were operating would be to program the children of the masses, incrementally, yet enough to enable the rules of commercial contract to fully implement within the whole system of Great Britain, and, without the people noticing the loss of accepted rights via the Constitution. But perhaps the most damning aspect of this program was to un-educate the people as to how the common laws acted as arbitrator for the good of justice, and that the statutes of corporatism act for corporate profit against all rights, yet still through the twentieth century as each decade moved on, more and more did the people hand all arbitration of human affairs over to the realm of profit. The Civil Courts and the magistrates shifted from law arbitration to judgements based on rules of contract, and one thing we all know of this system, you’re always gonna pay.

If you want people to identify their humanity as nothing but a legal fiction, a commercial debt account for serfdom, then from the perspective of those implementing the system, the people need to be able to read it.

Froebel indeed envisioned the perfect means to effecting children that they actually learn a programme by tapping into their natural state; all things play.

Though we see in Froebel a system, what presents itself today as Froebel is not.
Today we find many branches relating to Froebel, but we have drawn it down to two major elements :

National Froebel Foundation
Froebel Educational Institute 1892

The chronology
The National Froebel Foundation Archive comprises a unique historical record of the Froebel movement in the UK. The Froebel Society [for the Promotion of the Kindergarten System] was founded in 1874 in order to provide courses of training for kindergarten teachers and a recognition and inspection facility for kindergartens. In 1887 The Society created a separate body, the National Froebel Union in order to validate examinations and set standards for the Froebel Teacher’s Certificate. In 1938 the two bodies were combined to form the National Froebel Foundation, which continued to perform some of the functions of its parent bodies.

In 1975 the NFF was formally dissolved, though a board of Trustees continues to ensure allocation of its residual assets in accordance with its charitable objectives. Little has been added to the Archive since then, as its primary value is in it’s early handwritten material, comprising mainly Minutes of meetings and ledgers recording students and their certification.

Note

The Royal Society for the Arts states on its own website that the National Froebel occupied the Royal Society for the Arts Tavern (18 Adam Street), from 1923 until 1939, conveniently as World War Two commenced as Britain declared war against Germany.

It also must be noted we are finding contradictory information from the various references relating to Froebel, a classic sign we are dealing with a twinned operation, something I will expand on later.
We also have a direct correlation with the use of Froebel and Theosophy, this presents itself in the fact Empress Friedrich, daughter of Queen Victoria, was patroness of the Froebel Educational Institute when it commenced in Britain in 1892, and continuing the idea Prussia is innocent, her hubby Friedrich III acts against Bismarck in his ideas of reuniting Germany by force, while his wife stands as patroness of what would programme the Third Reich.

We also find the sixth child of Queen Victoria heavily involved in all things education in her supporting role behind Emily Anne Eliza Shirreff who in 1871, with her sister, Mary Gurney, Lady Henrietta Maria Stanley of Alderley, founded the National Union for the Improvement of the Education of Women of all Classes, (also known as the Women’s Education Union). The Union also founded the Girls Public Day Company in 1872 , and continues to operate today as the Girls Day School Trust which is at the forefront of the independently lead arm of the Academy programme

At this point it is worth a look into the original funding of women’s liberation, of which education for women was an aspect, I can think of no better obliging fellow than to hear this story from Hollywood film director Aaron Russo, made before he died of cancer. Russo in an interview quotes his one time friend; Nick Rockefeller as he explained the fact his British Crown front family funded the liberation of women in order to tax the other half of the population and to ferment the destruction of the family unit by shifting the school in the position of parent on behalf of the state, exactly what we are witnessing today.

Even more interesting would be the fact that once Froebel had been tweaked in England, it then returned to Germany, which makes the following very important indeed :

Froebel & the Hitler Jugend : the Britishing of Froebel

By Peter Jackson and Sang-Wook Lee
Having worked long and hard on the life and work of Friedrich Froebel, we intended to refresh ourselves by revisiting educational controversies of the early twentieth century as recorded in Child Life, the organ of the Froebel Society from 1931-1939. The eye catching title of an article from 1933 drew us into the world of British froebelians and there, as we read on, we became aware of a process of transformation whereby Froebel’s quintessentially German idealist philosophy became British empiricist froebelian theory Froebel inspired the educational innovators of Third Reich, according to Dr Blochmann, a prominent teacher trainer in the early thirties. Writing in the 1933 edition of the English journal Child Life she claimed that his ideal of womanhood was about to be realised : the National Socialist Movement had repudiated what it called the intellectual woman, declaring itself in favour of the warm-hearted mother, practical in word and deed. In The Froebelian Outlook in Germany she spelt her message loud and clear to her British readers.

Here is a thesis which gives insight to the strange uses of Froebel systems, please note this is for education purposes only :

Froebel and the Hitler Jugend; The Britishing of Froebel

Froebel & the Hitler Jugend: the Britishing of Froebel

History
In 1851 the Froebel system was completely banned in Prussia, with this given the importance of its use to programme children, the whole system was moved to England; Tavistock Place to be precise. Here is where the original Froebel system would be dramatically tweaked in order they could re-programme the future generations. By September 1851 the first Kindergarten would open at 32 Tavistock Place Hampstead.

From this move would spawn Kindergartens across western Europe during the remaining decade, and into the Scandinavian countries, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and India, they also took root in America, Canada, Japan, Russia, Turkey, France and Switzerland for the remainder of the 19th century. In this regard from the point 1851 and it’s banning in Prussia (Illuminati base), Froebel would become the Tavistock programme, albeit Tavistock had not been announced to the world in its current form, what was presented as the study of the effects of shell shock as Tavistock was formed in the 20th century, was the implementation of the new mind control system now in the hands of those controlling the British Crown.

I do declare Tavistock and the elites it serves, to have been responsible for programming the Hitler Youth, and a similar programming is happening at your child’s school today. In banning the system, history would relieve Prussia of any and all culpability.

Based on my understanding of how scripts are implemented, I would say that via the Foundation the original Froebel system is espoused, whilst the Institute implements the shadow system, here is why I feel the two presented are the main controllers of this programming system, which today would seem to have been perfected and being implemented across the global education systems.

Here is further support of the fact we are indeed dealing with a shadow Froebel :

The pedagogy that made Froebel famous was encompassed in his Kindergarten, a set of strictly defined methods and activities for the education of young children, which he developed and refined in the second quarter of the nineteenth century. Froebel’s Kindergarten reached England in the mid-1850s, where it attracted a small but enthusiastic group of followers and practitioners. By 1900, Froebel’s followers in England had become awakened to movements in child study and psychology and Froebel’s prescriptions did not hold up to ensuing criticism.

In most histories of English education, the story of Froebelian education in England stops there, with the so-called death of Froebelian early childhood pedagogy and its replacement with an eclectic range of pedagogies and institutions based variously on the work of Sigmund and Anna Freud, Margaret McMillan, John Dewey, Susan Isaacs, Maria Montessori and others. This article picks up this dropped thread, examining the English neo-Froebelian movement after the death of Froebelian methods by the start of the twentieth century.

Based on analysis of the organisational records and publications of the Froebel Society, National Froebel Foundation, NSA and other professional groups connected with early childhood and progressive pedagogy, this article identifies several turning points in the institutional and ideological trajectory of neo-Froebelians in the most turbulent and decisive period of twentieth-century English pedagogical and policy debate. More specifically, this article shows that Stuart Hall’s theories of identity politics’ as well as Eric Hobsbawm’s and Terence Ranger’s concept of invented tradition can help us make sense of the apparently paradoxical persistence of Froebel discourse in interwar and 1940s progressive English educational discourse despite what appeared to be a complete disavowal of Friedrich Froebel, the man and his pedagogy on the part of those wielding his name.
Source

We have yet more evidence which ties the British Crown to the shadow Froebel in the following statement :

One of the visitors to the education exhibition held in St Martin’s Hall, London, in 1854 was the American educator Henry Barnard

The exhibition was opened by the Prince Consort and a demonstration of Froebel’s gifts and occupations was given by Heinrich Hoffman, another of Froebel’s former pupils. Hoffmann, who was head of the training institution in Hamburg, remained in England to assist in the training of teachers. In 1893 the Home and Colonial Society became the National Froebel Union.

From : Kindergarten architecture : space for the imagination, p. 49-51 by Mark Dudek
As an added insight into all things Froebel education, we find the Nursery schools are also of the Froebel system. What we find rather interesting is the fact many of the recently created children’s playgrounds, with their virtual reality landscape architecture, in fact I would go as far to say, bordering on the Tellytubby picturesque unnatural design, we can clearly see the difference between the old original Froebel playground design and those of recent times out of the shadow Froebel system, for that we need to look at Marjory Allen, Lady Allen of Hurtwood
From Wiki :

Quote
Marjory Allen, Baroness Allen of Hurtwood (10 May 1897 11 April 1976), ne Marjory Gill and known to her friends as Joan, was an English landscape architect and promoter of child welfare.
Marjory Gill was born in Bexleyheath, Kent. She was educated at Bedales School and University College, Reading, where she took a diploma course in horticulture. In 1921 she married Clifford Allen, a leading member of the Independent Labour Party who had been imprisoned as a conscientious objector in World War I. Marjory Allen worked as a landscape architect throughout the 1920s and 1930s and was elected the first fellow of the Institute of Landscape Architects in 1930.

Clifford Allen, who had been created 1st Baron Allen of Hurtwood in 1932, died in 1939, and Lady Allen threw herself into her work, also becoming interested in the welfare of children. Her campaigning for children in institutional care led to the passing of the Children’s Act 1948. She was chairman (1942-1948) and president (1948-1951) of the Nursery School Association of Great Britain, founder president of the World Organisation for Early Childhood Education, a member of the Central Advisory Council for Education (1945-1949), and chairman of the Advisory Council on Children’s Entertainment Films (1944-1950).

After World War II she served as a liaison officer with UNICEF in Europe and the Middle East. She campaigned for facilities for children growing up in the new high-rise developments in Britain’s cities and wrote a series of illustrated books on the subject of playgrounds, and at least one book on adventure playgrounds, spaces for free creativity by children, which helped the idea spread worldwide.

Playgrounds and Lady Allen come from direct influence of Froebel :

Quote
As chair of the executive of the Nursery School association Marjorie begins to understand that there is not the infrastructure to support evacuated children and their mothers in places outside London. Long story very short, she organises and fundraises for demonstration prefab nurseries to be built which are then, within a year rolled out to 200 sites across England. They are filled with volunteers who have been through a training programme organised under her auspices, they are furnished and equipped with pieces made to an approved design out of bomb damaged wood, fabric etc by auxiliary firemen and others on standby. Prefab buildings cost £600 each to make were designed by nursery teachers working with an architect and took three days to build. They were run according to the principles of the NSA as influenced by Froebel that a child’s mental and emotional health was as important as its physical health many of these continues until well into the 1960s.

Yet more insight into the recruiting of Lady Allen :

Quote
We join Lady Allen as she was travelling to Norway in a rickety old army Dakota on the 4th march 1946 for the playwork part of her life story.
On a fuelling stop in Copenhagen, the head of the Froebel Training School whisked her away to see Emdrup. From here on I will use her own words as they deserve sharing. Page 196 Memoirs of an Uneducated Lady

Insight into the elite connections comes in the movements and acquaintances of her husband :

Quote
Clifford Allen was a pacifist and leader member of the Independent Labour Party. He shared a flat with his great friend Bertrand Russell and had won a scholarship from his home town in Wales to study at Cambridge with Robert Trevelyan, Herbert Morrisson , Fenner Brockway and Ramsey MacDonald, (might not have that quite right, it says here, but they were all mates). CA as he was known had been a pacifist during the 1914-1918 war (which I have not mentioned till now but which was of massive importance as a background t this story). He had been imprisoned three times for this, the last time he had served his time with hard labour, solitary confinement and a bread and water diet. He had contracted TB and lost the use of one lung. On a recent mission to Russia, where he had met with all the influential leaders and had an interview with Lenin, he had almost died as a result of this illness. This visit to Rome was somewhat of a recovery for him.

Froebel and Save the Children
We have Froebel not only in the education of our children, but as the overlord for saving them. From this idea would spawn the many Crown controlled fronts involved in all things children.

Quote
Eglantyne Jebb was the founder of the Worldwide Save the Children Alliance. She not only created one of the world’s first International development agencies, but her work led directly to the UN’s Rights of the Child.
In many ways, she seems an unlikely Leader, as she was unsure of her own worth, often seemed influenced by others, and was continually searching to find herself. Yet, the impact she had, the values she espoused, and the way that she achieved what she did, speaks volumes about effective Leadership.
Teaching
In 1899, she started teaching primary students, in Marlborough, Wiltshire. This turned out to be a quite progressive school, using Froebel methods and advanced teaching methods. Eglantyne was rather taken aback that the children played war games, and was puzzled that they showed no apparent horror at the killing and fighting. The children were at that time knitting things for the soldiers of the Boer War. She always wanted to challenge the children, trying to get her pupils away from books, and to learn from observation and experience. Much to her surprise, her students loved her, as did her principals.

We gain insight into a real shift in the educational paradigm with the following :

Quote
The Froebel Educational Institute was inaugurated at a meeting held in the Westminster Palace Hotel on the 25th October 1892, through the initiative of Mrs Julia Salis Schwabe and a group of liberal-minded men and women who formed the membership of the Froebel Society (to give it its full title, Froebel Society for the Promotion of the Kindergarten System) which had come into being in London in 1874. The Froebel Educational Institute (FEI) was inaugurated as a non-denominational college, and was intended to promote the kindergarten system in Britain. One of their most strongly held convictions was that the training of teachers should include practical experience, and consequently the FEI was provided from its inception with a co-educational Demonstration School with a Kindergarten. On 20th September 1894, the College formally opened in Talgarth Road, West Kensington, and Madame Emilie Michaelis was appointed as the first Principal. FEI’s first school, the fee-paying Colet Gardens Demonstration School, was opened in 1895, and was followed by the Challoner Street Practising School in 1899 (the latter survived until 1918, when its pupils were transferred to Colet Gardens). In 1896, the Michaelis Guild was formed as the alumni organisation for ex-Froebel College students.

In 1900, the FEI became the Incorporated Froebel Educational Institute, a registered company under the Board of Trade; the governing body was known as the Committee of Members. Esther Lawrence succeeded Emilie Michaelis as Principal in 1901: she remained in the post until 1931, overseeing the growth and development of FEI into a residential college based at Roehampton. Esther Lawrence was closely involved in the founding of two of the oldest nursery schools in London the Michaelis Free Kindergarten in Notting Dale (founded in 1908, later the Notting Hill Nursery School) and the Somers Town Nursery School near St Pancras (1910).

In 1921, the FEI purchased Grove House at Roehampton and moved the students there in 1922. Colet Gardens School remained in Talgarth Road and expanded into the old College accommodation. As the Roehampton site developed, there was a need for a school in the grounds, and Grove House School was opened in 1929 (it closed in 1939). Student numbers were growing so rapidly that the FEI purchased Templeton, a listed building in Priory Lane, Roehampton, in 1930.

A new Principal, Eglantyne Mary Jebb, continued the policy of expansion and growth, overseeing major extensions to the Grove House property designed by Verner Rees. During World War Two, the College was evacuated to Knebworth and Offley Place, Hertfordshire, while the Demonstration School was moved to Little Gaddesdon nearby. When the war ended, the Demonstration School moved to new premises at Ibstock Place in Roehampton. Offley Place was retained as a rural training centre until 1953. On the establishment of the University of London Institute of Education, FEI became one of its constituent colleges. Eglantyne Mary Jebb retired as Principal in 1955 and was succeeded by Molly Brearley, who oversaw some major changes, not least the requirement in 1960 that all teachers take a three-year training course.

The Shadow Froebel and its Use Today

Friedrich Froebel (1782-1852) founded kindergartens and the use of Froebel’s Gifts, design toys for the development of children. Five were developed in his lifetime.

Froebel himself studied architecture and Frank Lloyd Wright, the American (non-conformist) architect attributes his skills to Froebel Gifts.

Froebel devised several categories to think about when looking at gifts. The first is the form of knowledge, focusing on the worldly knowledge that each gift stimulated.

For example, the geometric shapes in many of the gifts illustrate mathematical concepts, and children can use the Froebel Gifts to think about fractions, the relations between shapes, and so forth. In the forms of life category, children are encouraged to liken the objects in the Froebel Gifts to objects that they know; for example, a ball could be an orange, or a stack of blocks could become a tower.

Finally, children are also encouraged to think about forms of beauty, using the objects in the Froebel Gifts to create purely aesthetic and attractive displays. This encourages creativity in the users, as they think about symmetry, colour relationships, shapes, and so forth. Children can move through each Froebel Gift at their own pace, with a supervisor ensuring that the child gets the full benefit of the gift, exploring its full richness and complexity. (1)

Architect Norman Brosterman has made links between kindergarten and modern geometric abstract art and architecture. He says design toys..prefigure modern conceptions of geometric abstraction, and can be seen clearly in the later work of former kindergarteners Georges Braques, Piet Mondrian, Paul Klee, Le Corbusier, and many other familiar and important artists and architects. (2)
Frank Lloyd Wright states :

That early kindergarten experience with the straight line; the flat plane; the square; the triangle; the circle! These primary forms and figures were the secret of all effects which were ever got into the architecture of the world (3)

It has been suggested that the following also have a close connection to Froebel’s work : Wassily Kandinsky, Frank Lloyd Wright, Piet Mondrian, Georges Braque, Charles Jeanneret, Josef Albers. (4)

The Zome system of design toys has recently been described as a powerful design tool and educational toy for children and that it will change the architecture of your mind (5)

Some interesting comments have been made with respect to the utilisation of such gifts or toys in education and architecture:

An early Middlesex kindergarten was housed in the Iron Room School. and girls of from three to eight were thoroughly grounded in a perfectly symmetrical education, utilising the Froebelian apparatus and tasks designed to develop the child’s inherent powers and provided according to a careful system of the Gifts, the Games, the Occupations, and the Object Lessons (6) Terry Knight of the architecture department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology gives the following analysis of Froebel’s Gifts :

The Symmetry Lessons of Froebel’s Buildings Blocks.
Architects in the United Kingdom, with respect to the Buildings Schools for the Future programme, (called BER, Building the Education Revolution, in Australia), acknowledge that the new school buildings programme is about human re-engineering; reframing the mind via the physical environment you place someone in.

Research interests
For the last 12 years, I have been involved in research on children under three in nursery provision. Current research is a case study of six different kinds of nursery to investigate differing patterns of managing nursery provision for very young children. The aim is to see whether particular patterns of management are associated with particular outcomes for children.
I am particular interested in the use of psychoanalytic concepts and methods in this work. The study is therefore using a psychoanalytic approach to analysing organisations and the Tavistock (Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust) method of infant observation. Policy and practice development
Alongside the research, I have been involved in a number of policy and practice activities. These include :
a) the development, with Dorothy Selleck, of an Evaluation Schedule for evaluating practice with children under three in nurseries (now available on the NCB Early Childhood Unit website Everyday Stories); b) Development work on the DfES Framework Birth to Three Matters; c) Work on the implementation of the key-person approach in nurseries (please see book reference below); d) An evaluation with Masters Students at Roehampton University, of the Tavistock Video Observation Observed (please see forthcoming chapter for the Open University); ) Work with the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust on the development of professional development materials on the social and emotional development of very young children.

Document showing how messy play can make an enormous contribution to young children’s cognitive and creative development. Messy play involves children using all their senses in the process of exploration, especially the sense of touch, offers the opportunity to mould and manipulate materials and not having a focus on making/producing something. It offers children opportunities personal, social and emotional development, communication, language and literacy, mathematical development, knowledge and understanding of the world, physical development and creative development.

Professor Jane Broadbent BA MSc PhD
Jane Broadbents research interests focus on the use of accounting in organisations, particularly those involved in the provision of public services. She is interested in the use of accounting as a tool of change particularly within organisations that are not usually oriented to financial issues. Her research, often undertaken in association with Professor Richard Laughlin, has generally looked at Schools, Health and Universities. She takes a contextual, critical, and interdisciplinary approach that develops the theoretical frameworks of Jurgen Habermas. Her research approach, middle range thinking, sees the need for reflexivity between the theory and the empirical situation studied. Theory is seen as providing a language with which to explore the empirical situation rather than as something to be tested and the understanding of the empirical situation may change the theory.
