Dear Albuquerque Home Learners,

Free World U is a non-profit organization that provides a free education
to anyone with Internet access. Our students tell us that they are able
to learn six hours worth of lessons in only half an hour.

This is possible because of the discovery that all knowledge, whether it
be math, social studies, English, or science, is reducible to tiny fact
units. The human brain does not assimilate entire books and lectures.
Rather, it has to translate these into fact units. If the information is
translated beforehand, the process moves dramatically faster.

First of all, we define the entire state-mandated pre-K-12 curriculum.
Next we break it down into fact units, numbering in the hundreds of
thousands, organized in a logical sequence. We then convert each fact
unit into a question and answer pair. We combine each question and
answer pair with an illustration and place it on a flashcard
accessible
by the Internet.

As students study the flashcards, they have the ability to eliminate the
ones that they have mastered. The system remembers every student and the
status of every fact unit that that student has encountered.

Students are able to be absolutely certain that they have mastered all
of the material. The flashcards are so simply written that even students
with learning disabilities find them easy to follow.

Students do not need to purchase any books or supplies to learn with the
system. The cost of homeschooling is eliminated. The burden on
homeschooling parents is drastically reduced. You can watch a movie
demonstrating the system by clicking here:
