Elementary

What if the tactical strategy of World War II is elimination of educational background, educational certification and only what matters is the SKILLS of such individuals or the people who are accepted in the workforce?

I watched an old movie about a boy who was left behind by his parents who were diplomats in a foreign land. It was World War II and the casualty of war was horrendous, it was totally pandemonium, in a panic mode to escape to another land safer from any obstacles, from any harsh, abstract, injustices, mass killing and elimination of race the boy was left behind by his parents. The will to live and survive had the boy almost in a melancholia, it was a miraculous event of some sort that he survived in this kind of holocaust. I think if a person, no matter how younger in physical and mental attributes but the willingness to survive and have that gutsy feeling and because he is intellectually intelligent and smart he was able to live and escape atrocities. He is smart. The role he portrayed in that movie is one to be remodeled by younger generations. He didn't have University or College education. He was not in High School. He was just a boy (maybe in Elementary School) but what kind of education you had during your elementary years, the primary? It's ELEMENTARY.

You can be a boy scout or girl scout and you probably have knowledge in survival skills. You are taught about how to set up fire and cook simple ordinary food. You were taught to build tent and gather firewood. You were taught about the usefulness of ropes and cords and hand signals. You learned trails and mazes. You were taught on finding clues and evidences. You learned how to swim and paddle your canoes. You can mountain hike or climb up the tallest tree if necessary. You learned about First Aid, read and write. You were taught about law, golden rules,  and learned  all the good virtues, obedience, honesty, friendship, respect and etiquette including good personal hygiene. They are the knowledge of ELEMENTARY. If you passed all these Elementary requirements you will pass High School and College Education.

In that movie, the well experienced boy turned out to be the most highly intelligent and intellectually gifted in manners of survival. Hard to believe that knowledge in Elementary will take you that far and left behind those most highly educated individuals. Intelligence takes no age and no certification to make them valid. It just happened in EMPIRE OF THE SUN.
