Idea Infuser
Be advised :
Copyright © Dec. 2009, by John E Rahtes, of all of these ideas. One… The never-previously introduced, ‘folder, ’ encyclopedic form of presentation of approaches to dictionary use. Two: …The uniquely conceived curriculum which has, without fail-- the potential to galvanize the psyches and mindsets of countless millions of inner-city potential ‘drop outs’( a cancerous national disgrace ) This curriculum happens to be the only program on the face of this earth which has the potential to do just that .. Three… The fantastically efficacious , ’ color code’ , sentence-parsing method to be used when translating the English language into foreign languages. Four, .. .An inadvertently, happened-upon mental-physical regimen which certain behavioral scientists predict shall perhaps - momentarily, perhaps permanently, restore a positive mindset to millions who are chronically plagued with depression, despair, discontent, and frustration. And Five ,… The resolve to convince Academia to accept ,…. not the theory,… but the fact,.. That three, four and five year old children CAN be , and Must be ,. and now SHALL be …successfully programmed to develop a lasting affection for the English language, instead of the distain, the frustration, the aversion and the challenge that the present failing curricula seem to instill in them . This system shall succeed despite the child’s plight of having pathetically educated parents. I am convinced that the years from three to seven are the years which shall determine a child’s future. No longer should these vitally important, formative years be wasted. These ideas may NOT be published , broadcast, or distributed, without the permission of John E Rahtes, rhtjo1@verizon.net ( Pronounced as with ‘ reasonable rates,;) Reproduction in any manner. In any form. In whole, or in part, in English or in any other language is prohibited. All rights reserved.

THE IDEA INFUSER
A Guaranteed… Grade ‘A’ for every Child.
Start them at four or five or six years of age,…
And you,… and they…shall smile,…
Confidently,…. Radiantly…
Forevermore!
If you can merely read English,…you now shall enjoy a never-before-found sense of joy and fulfillment, as you discover that with ease and optimism, and above all, with a smiling, enthusiastic relationship,… you can successfully, beyond all belief, tutor your child.
( This is a guarantee )
Furthermore, henceforth, twelve year olds shall be capable of exchanging ‘ideas,’ with individuals of any nation.
MINIMALLY EDUCATED Parents who may have had absolutely no enthusiasm for English grammar may now find themselves delighted.
Folder twenty one is presented herewith, to demonstrate ‘THE INFUSER’S ’ unique potential of reaching the sensibilities of grade school students,…. as well as the evoking of such encomiums as ’ WELCOME , AT LAST!,, GREAT DAY !, ASTOUNDING!, and others, from the Literati .
Because of the potential probability that the original thoughts and efforts which were expended in originating this ’Opus,’ have the potential of becoming the curriculum which shall replace the existing failing English educational routines, it is necessary to repeat the © copyright notice:

All rights reserved. No part of this book may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means -- graphic, electronic, or mechanical, including photocopying, recording, or any information storage or retrieval system-- for sale without written permission from the author, John E. Rahtes. NOTE: Permission to use any of these ’ prompts’ by any student is hereby granted.
However, use by professional review writers, or any professional…. for publication … shall be considered as a plagiarism .
‘Plagiarism’ is defined as : ’ stealing somebody’s work .or IDEA: the process of copying another persons idea or written work and claiming it as original .
The concept of categorizing the words .and the thoughts listed in any dictionary and placing them in folders is an original concept of John E. Rahtes, and cannot be claimed by any living writer.
The statement, “ Start them at four, five or six years old.” is not preposterous.
Educators in cities throughout the nation,( veteran stalwarts,) sense that within fewer than a few years, the time spent in the lower grades of the public schools -- because of the lack of discipline and all of the other disgraceful eventualities ---shall be years of waste.
Unless a parent --even a less than well informed, but a concerned parent -- must sense the realization that their child is doomed to a life which shall be far less rewarding then of that one which a loving parent might provide;…. it would be a life without English proficiency.
The impact which the computer has had upon English language competence throughout the nation --with cell phones and, text messages and so forth,-- is devastating.
Vocabulary proficiency and writing ability are becoming skills of the past.
The ‘ Idea Infuser’ with its one hundred folders, is the one and only existing solution to today’s dilemma. Recent New York city headlines proclaim: ‘Eighty percent of New York City high school graduates,-- CANNOT READ. ’
They just do not have an appetite for reading. They do not understand words.
You are reading correctly …..
You are thinking ……“THIS CANNOT BE TRUE! “ … IT IS TRUE!
Ah, but now these facts and figures are about to be changed.
Now, with the IDEA INFUSER, grammar school senior students, before graduation shall be capable of writing a one thousand word, (or more) composition on any subject.
Folder number five will provide several hundred ‘prompts’ which will afford the student ( actually, the seven to thirteen year old, ) with ideas which will suggest several hundred exquisitely appropriate ‘introductory’ paragraphs for any writing.
Any student with the guidance of any parent who can read and with the INFUSER shall be introduced to a world which he or she would otherwise, never had known. Nowhere upon the face of this earth can a young student find a more inspiring, a more useful source of ‘ prompts’ which can change that youngsters attitude toward the English language, thereby assuring him or her a successful future life.
Folder Twenty Seven.
Author. Positive Prompts, three hundred. --- Negative prompts. three hundred.
TRANSLATION INTO ANY LANGUAGE IS MIND-BOGGLING
These prompts serve as the ’seeds’ of ideas.
The following excerpts have been termed as ‘ college level.’ Yet. … Grammar-school, seventh and eight grade students have understood and explained them.
. Any child-- your child, -- with a devoted, farsighted parent , now with the ‘ Idea Infuser’ shall not suffer ignominious shame of failure because of the present failing system.
Every high-school graduate should have an understanding of all verbs and adjectives of the English language. Every grammar school should make mastery of these prompts mandatory before a diploma is awarded.
A minimally educated parent should not have difficulty in trying to explain these prompts to any child. It should not be expected that any child should commit these prompts to memory immediately.
If a youngster absorbs them gradually over the years,…. The world shall be theirs.
Idea Infuser-prepared students of eighth grade grammar-school classes have read, and explained every one of these three hundred‘prompts.’
If a grammar-school student, or a college professor, or-- YOU,-- one of these days,- are seized with a strange, pleasant, inner- smile, ego-boosting desire to’ pick up a pen,’ and to BEAUTIFULLY let the world know what is on your mind….. With The Idea Infuser,….You can make it happen !
Incidentally,… Some of these ‘prompts’ were mused and ‘spake’ by brilliant Past Masters of centuries ago.
The ‘ seeds ‘of ideas for your report.

This system shall succeed despite the child’s plight of having pathetically educated parents. I am convinced that the years from three to seven are the years which shall determine a child’s future.

THE IDEA INFUSER
A Guaranteed… Grade ‘A’ for every Child.
Start them at four or five or six years of age,…
And you,… and they…shall smile,…
Confidently,…. Radiantly…
Forevermore!
If you can merely read English,…you now shall enjoy a never-before-found sense of joy and fulfillment, as you discover that with ease and optimism, and above all, with a smiling, enthusiastic relationship,… you can successfully, beyond all belief, tutor your child.
( This is a guarantee )
Furthermore, henceforth, twelve year olds shall be capable of exchanging ‘ideas,’ with individuals of any nation.
MINIMALLY EDUCATED Parents who may have had absolutely no enthusiasm for English grammar may now find themselves delighted.
Folder twenty one is presented herewith, to demonstrate ‘THE INFUSER’S ’ unique potential of reaching the sensibilities of grade school students,…. as well as the evoking of such encomiums as ’ WELCOME , AT LAST!,, GREAT DAY !, ASTOUNDING!, and others, from the Literati .
Because of the potential probability that the original thoughts and efforts which were expended in originating this ’Opus,’ have the potential of becoming the curriculum which shall replace the existing failing English educational routines, it is necessary to repeat the © copyright notice:

However, use by professional review writers, or any professional…. for publication … shall be considered as a plagiarism .
‘Plagiarism’ is defined as : ’ stealing somebody’s work .or IDEA: the process of copying another persons idea or written work and claiming it as original .
The concept of categorizing the words .and the thoughts listed in any dictionary and placing them in folders is an original concept of John E. Rahtes, and cannot be claimed by any living writer.
The statement, “ Start them at four, five or six years old.” is not preposterous.
Educators in cities throughout the nation,( veteran stalwarts,) sense that within fewer than a few years, the time spent in the lower grades of the public schools -- because of the lack of discipline and all of the other disgraceful eventualities ---shall be years of waste.
Unless a parent --even a less than well informed, but a concerned parent -- must sense the realization that their child is doomed to a life which shall be far less rewarding then of that one which a loving parent might provide;…. it would be a life without English proficiency.
The impact which the computer has had upon English language competence throughout the nation --with cell phones and, text messages and so forth,-- is devastating.
Vocabulary proficiency and writing ability are becoming skills of the past.
The ‘ Idea Infuser’ with its one hundred folders, is the one and only existing solution to today’s dilemma. Recent New York city headlines proclaim: ‘Eighty percent of New York City high school graduates,-- CANNOT READ. ’
They just do not have an appetite for reading. They do not understand words.
You are reading correctly …..
You are thinking ……“THIS CANNOT BE TRUE! “ … IT IS TRUE!
Ah, but now these facts and figures are about to be changed.
Now, with the IDEA INFUSER, grammar school senior students, before graduation shall be capable of writing a one thousand word, (or more) composition on any subject.
Folder number five will provide several hundred ‘prompts’ which will afford the student ( actually, the seven to thirteen year old, ) with ideas which will suggest several hundred exquisitely appropriate ‘introductory’ paragraphs for any writing.
Any student with the guidance of any parent who can read and with the INFUSER shall be introduced to a world which he or she would otherwise, never had known. Nowhere upon the face of this earth can a young student find a more inspiring, a more useful source of ‘ prompts’ which can change that youngsters attitude toward the English language, thereby assuring him or her a successful future life.
Folder Twenty Seven.
Author. Positive Prompts, three hundred. --- Negative prompts. three hundred.
TRANSLATION INTO ANY LANGUAGE IS MIND-BOGGLING
These prompts serve as the ’seeds’ of ideas.
The following excerpts have been termed as ‘ college level.’ Yet. … Grammar-school, seventh and eight grade students have understood and explained them.
. Any child-- your child, -- with a devoted, farsighted parent , now with the ‘ Idea Infuser’ shall not suffer ignominious shame of failure because of the present failing system.
Every high-school graduate should have an understanding of all verbs and adjectives of the English language. Every grammar school should make mastery of these prompts mandatory before a diploma is awarded.
A minimally educated parent should not have difficulty in trying to explain these prompts to any child. It should not be expected that any child should commit these prompts to memory immediately.
If a youngster absorbs them gradually over the years,…. The world shall be theirs.
Idea Infuser-prepared students of eighth grade grammar-school classes have read, and explained every one of these three hundred‘prompts.’
If a grammar-school student, or a college professor, or-- YOU,-- one of these days,- are seized with a strange, pleasant, inner- smile, ego-boosting desire to’ pick up a pen,’ and to BEAUTIFULLY let the world know what is on your mind….. With The Idea Infuser,….You can make it happen !
Incidentally,… Some of these ‘prompts’ were mused and ‘spake’ by brilliant Past Masters of centuries ago.
The ‘ seeds ‘of ideas for your report.
