This letter is for the attention of Angel Gurria secretary -general of the OECD and Anthony Gooch director of public affairs and communications, and my first of all congratulate you both and everyone concerned on last year's OECD Forum, I consider that it was a wonderful shop window for all your national members, I was most impressed by the secretary general's consistent care in looking after all the dignitaries entrances personally where ever he was able. I consider the whole event to have been well-managed, I was pleased to be able to secure an invitation, and again please to secure an invitation this year.
I managed to give you both the end product, or the physical product relating to my work over the last 15 years, some years ago I used your forum pages regarding teach the brain, I am already 72 years of age but have been concerned for years I would die before anyone knew what I was talking about, I now claim backed by my research over the last 15 years or so that Abacus one is the most powerful teacher, why should this be so, clearly it is related to our most ancient counting tools the Abacus which appears in many countries around the world and is still used consistently by around one third of our world population. Our notation system is now international, and the language of mathematics is clear to all well educated people, but there are millions of children in our world without any education themselves, and millions of parents with very little education in order to assist them, in every country in the world we will have advanced mathematicians willing to show groups of parents how to teach their own children, my personal research in the United Kingdom was carried out on my own grandchildren and the children of friends, every child using Abacus one for an extended period resulted in perfection as regards basic arithmetic, my research was also mirrored by reading up to scratch a close friend theoretical physicist called Winston Haxton. Winston's first use of the Abacus was twin girlbringing up to scratch twin granddaughters of six years of age, who had been previously described as dyslexic, Winston started teaching them everything a was able arithmetic and early mathematics by utilising the Abacus, by the end of the term both girls were among the most proficient readers in their class, there is no doubt in my mind all mind Winston Haxton that being taught to count perfectly recognising all the columns of the Abacus one map taking children from simply understood single numbers, to an initial understanding of the words utilised to bring them up to 10,000,000, they become able in the language of arithmetic, and proficient in basic mathematical understanding, neural pathways when they are able to read numbers quite naturally through assimilation and Association provide them with neural pathways by which they will be able to build on the language they are learning to use quite naturally associating that language with written words as they develop the understanding of the meaning and finally the physical structure of the word is understood quite naturally,
if we consider that most young children or three years of age can understand over 1000 words before it can even use those words, and that from this point it can arrive in our primary class being able to speak and understand 10,000 words, should it not be clear to all of us, who have had the benefit of an education that the child natural abilities are outstanding, our evolutionary ability allows us to build understanding of our own language in sound and meaning, every parent even the least possible training, should be able to manage mathematical explanation whether they can read all not personally by utilising the Abacus is a teaching tool, if we are able to utilise the Abacus by the time we are four years of age, there is little doubt in my mind that the majority of the world children will be able to read their own language if we make them able in our Latin alphabetic languages,
Asian languages and more complex but there are arithmetic awareness and mathematical expertise naturally brings about the mental ability to read a more complicated language.
I am talking to a number of organisations who I think may be persuaded to utilise low-cost teaching resources provided as advertising material to build up international recognition as philanthropic organisations,
my own vision of the Abacus and its ability to assist with mathematical understanding, also providing systematic brain development capable of assisting children to read their own language quite quickly when we provide them with the tools needed to develop that ability, rhythmic chanting and repetitious reading will build reading ability within any child using our alphabetic systematic development of our written languages,,
I consider that system one for everyone, would be a starting point for world primary education, developing the means by which parents themselves, millions of them without a good education themselves, would jump at the chance to be able to assist their own children to count and read perfectly, everything that the OECD stands for would be appreciated by millions more individuals if a practical family teaching systematic easily understood simply carried out primary education.
I have worked essentially in reading neuroscience and teaching history from pre-Maria Montessori other people influenced her to the people who I consider to be the leading edge of education today
we have a common species intelligence, that allows us to create the use and knowledge of our own language. Simply by the use of the world's oldest counting tool, we can create awareness of the decimal system simplicity allows us to understand numeric meaning, the basis of the measurement of everything.
My work is clearly available to be read by yourselves only Internet, indeed it with the provision of your forum which will originally gave me a chance to expand my ideas relating to primary education being the right of every human child. A time when we are considering giving every child in the world a computer, would it not be sensible to give every child in the world the skills by which you could use that computer,
with a little help from yourselves maybe a small exhibition of system one for everyone could be placed in strategic position near the entrance to your French facilities in order that all your guests can be acquainted with the concept of universal education how are we to achieve it,

Thank you both again for everything you have done, and will do in your respective positions within the OECD.
Following this letter to yourselves I have included a few common remarks from my writing which may also be of assistance in considering suggestions,
yours faithfully John Nicholson the developer of system one 4 every 1
Abacus one, the Abacus one map, creating a simple understanding of numeracy from the child's own hands, repetitious rhythmic reading attach to Abacus and alphabet.

What
Abacus One is The Most Powerful Teacher On Earth and the only way we can conceive counting and reading ability being achieved by every child in their fifth year of age.
I discovered the power of the Abacus when my youngest daughter was four years old, on the sixth of the sixth she will be 21 years of age this year.

Only well informed parents can guarantee to teach their own children to count and read perfectly why?
A three year old child will already now the meaning of a thousand words


Our natural human intelligence starts working on the day we are born, consider our inherited senses, which enable every child to teach itself to speak simply by listening and practicing, we have inherited the ability to copy the sounds of our natural language perfectly. This is perfectly normal human behavior which I describe as “imperceptible learning.” We do not know when or how they are learning, only perfect results prove that they are learning.

There is a second area of imperceptible learning, that is the natural ability the child has to understand the local area it lives in, we all possess the ability to visualise a local map which builds up quite naturally. The third imperceptible learning process is the most practical ability of all. Every child has the natural ability to follow highly detailed physical process`s. These three abilities are at the core of our massive species intelligence. The natural intelligence we need to build perfection in counting and reading when the child is actively learning and quite naturally able to mix imperceptible with reality.

Imperceptible learning takes place quite naturally, we copy language sounds perfectly and imitate any physical process that we are introduced to, this why my physical demonstrations have been developed in order build into the natural kinesthetic memories that link the physical reality of numbers with their meaning in language, written numerals and words. Understanding the meaning of numbers first of all from our fingers in relation to quantity and then the physical addition, subtraction, division and multiplication from using Abacus One and the abacus one map.

[SIZE="5"]This is how perfect counting ability is created in a very young child by parents who are systematically teaching their own child to count.

Teaching any child to count can start as soon as they can speak. In order that every child can understand the meaning of the numbers one to ten, we use the child’s own hands to build a physical map of those numbers.

When the child can identify the name and number of each finger, it will build a natural understanding of the meaning of every number, but first of all we can create an image of Mr Five and Mr Six simply by showing two thumbs up. This is an easy way for the child to memorise the first two numbers as a permanent lifetime memory.

The second two fingers to become permanent memories are one and ten, obviously our hands were previously our front feet, so it is that we can use the back of our hands to represent our reading style from the left to right, in a different visual manner we can create the imaginary back of a cats head, with the fists together showing the two ears tapping the table as one and ten.

INSERT PICTURE by the use of your own imagination.

This is a perfect way of making sure that your child remembers those pictures permanently, two thumbs up for Mr five and six. One and ten are demonstrated in a completely different mode to five and six; this avoids the child mixing up numbers, two other numbers are demonstrated in a further separate mode, using the same rationale, let the child identify three and then illustrate the pair with the hands as in prayer identifying the eighth finger, these two are our third pair of natural twins.

Count each the pairs and you will find out something you were most likely not aware of, very few of us can identify the eighth finger immediately.

When the child is capable of physically showing you the two thumbs up, it is preparing to read all the numbers from left to right naturally, by perfecting these six numbers we are ensuring that the remaining four numbers will build themselves into the child’s imagination perfectly.

The next clear memory can be created by placing the child's hands flat on a desk or table. Chanting the count one to ten easily identifies the first number and last number in that chant, so it is that we then identify the finger representing number one and the finger representing number ten. Then place the fingertips together and identify number three and number eight. The middle fingers of either hand. Three small demonstrations completely separate in concept, three perfect pairs of numbers, soon become a perfect memory.

Our natural human intelligence starts working on the day we are born, consider our inherited senses, which enable every child to teach itself to speak simply by listening and practicing, we have inherited the ability to copy the sounds of our natural language perfectly.

This is perfectly normal human behavior which I describe as “imperceptible learning.” We do not know when or how they are learning, only perfect results prove that they are learning. There is a second area of imperceptible learning, that is the natural ability the child has to understand the local area it lives in, we all possess the ability to visualise a local map which builds up quite naturally.

The third imperceptible learning process is the most practical ability of all. Every child has the natural ability to follow highly detailed physical process`s. These three abilities are at the core of our massive species intelligence. This natural intelligence is where we need to build the perfection in counting and reading using the natural abilities the child has in building its own language awareness, when the child is actively learning and quite naturally able to mix the imperceptible with reality. This is the question you will ask yourself many times before your child can count and read perfectly.

[SIZE="5"][/SIZE][SIZE="5"]Our human future[/SIZE]

[SIZE="5"]this is an explanation of why I consider that early perfection in primary education is critical to our human future.
Education in regards to knowledge availability has clearly never been has available to everyone on the planet as it is today. If you can count and read the latest research in most areas of human endeavour is open to you providing you own or have use of a computer and the Internet.
Simply because of the effectiveness of the computer in the last 20 years there has obviously been a spread of all information available to everyone, basically to all parts of our world where computers are available for public use.
Why then is our human welfare as regards the availability of food and shelter clearly so unfairly distributed. Even in the United States people are living in tents and caravans without jobs and dependent on food stamps.
Without a sustained effort to provide adequate amounts of food in storage as regards the northern hemisphere harvest we will be faced with a situation where cereal crops are being turned into fossil fuel just to maintain our habits in regards to unlimited car driving. Not only to work but as a considered right for all as a permitted leisure activity.
One startling fact. From this year's American market in cereals where over 400,000,000 tons, of cereals have been produced already one quarter of that will go into biofuel production. Without an exponential increase in cereal production starvation is already facing those people in the world without the cash to buy the ever more expensive food. At least one third of the people on our planet containing 7 billion human beings are without adequate housing.
Millions of people are without jobs without shelter and with a little hope for their future, without work or effective education millions of young people are addicted to drugs or cheap alcohol.
In the past education at the higher levels have only been available to the very wealthy, or those that we consider to be the most intelligent. Cost restrictions relating to higher education are forcing young people into massive debts even before they start their working life. Previous figures in the Western world show that it needed five people working to keep one pensioner nowadays it needs for people working to keep one pensioner. Education is the only possible way we can deal with the requirements of so many people requiring better quality food reasonable clothing and the right to a reasonable home. In every area of human endeavour we need to become more able if we are to provide for all a life worth living.
My 15 years in consideration of basic skills development has brought me to believe that every healthy child born has adequate intelligence to teach itself to speak. That clearly indicates to me that they are quite capable of developing perfection within counting and reading very much ably than they are, at the present time, if we simply utilise the knowledge we have to give the explanation that is necessary to young parents in order that they can instruct their own children in counting and reading before they enter regular education, in order that children's counting and reading is internationally at its highest level as the children start their formal education.
Historically numeracy was obviously our first essential development, measurement in every manner demands that we understand numbers, mankind would utilise signs to represent quantity years before it used signs to represent words. European reading we believe started with the development of written language around 3500 years ago, in China early Chinese writing based on pictorial styls has been dated between eight and ten thousand years of age. Clearly with simple charcoal man would be able to show others simple pictures as explanations of what they have seen or what they thought. Our recent research considers that our human species development was similar to our modern day abilities around 50,000 years ago, and our DNA indicates that we are all related directly to one lady in Africa live 500 years ago if we simply take an average of five generations per hundred years we share a species mentality involving over 2 1/2 million generations, it therefore appears to me that our natural intelligence is most likely to be similar when we are born, and very unlikely to be similar by the time we are mature. Today's research considers it more likely that we are capable of 90% variation regarding nurture, rather than what was previously thought.
I consider that without neurological damage previous to our birth, not our common intelligence is very similar, modern research indicates this consistently, our natural ability to speak our natural language is our evolutionary gift, copying everything that our parents do as our physical strength increases is also quite natural, so the natural awareness of where we are living builds quickly into capable mapping ability, so it is the we are born with imperceptible personal learning abilities.
Where parents are trained efficiently, which I consider is an easy task for them, they can be quickly taught to teach their own children from an extremely early age to physically understand number manipulation simply through utilising three simple maps, the first map illustrates the letter is one to 10 and is provided by the child's hands, the second map is a three strand Abacus containing 10 counters written in the child's own language as to the counters value. Finally it counting board illustrating seven columns of numbers including the words we utilise to recognise those numbers will bring all children to understanding how to count to 10,000,000 quite easily.
Use of the Abacus in two thirds of the world quite naturally created massive number awareness within Russia and China Japan and originally with the original inhabitants of South America.
Central Europe use`s a slavian Abacus to teach with, however all English speaking countries have dispensed with Abacus or counting boards hundreds of years previously.
Once the development of numeracy became dependent on what is commonly known as the Arabic/Indian writing system for numbers our educated scholars were able to create understanding in numbers simply by written marks,
the child's first map its own two hands teaching in the meaning of each number, the Abacus teachers the child to understand the value of columns that relate to the initial 10 numbers that it has learnt quickly becomes to understand the meaning of words and numbers as it gives explanation:
my chosen system of training children to read can easily be adapted to any other European language used by European language users to teach themselves English of vica versa.
If we consider that our human intelligence is spread equally throughout all races on the earth of it is therefore quite obvious that one counting system of is adequate for all the races if that counting system is perfected,
our common ability to follow the physical processors that our parents utilise indicates our powerful natural memory by the time children are two years of age they can well understand the meaning of many words as their ability to speak is developing, a major part of their imperceptible learning.
We can quite easily bring about perfect understanding of number processing utilising physical demonstrations. these physical demonstrations utilise kinaesthetic memory which is our natural memory combining that kinaesthetic memory with language allows the child to understand both the language and the means of calculation showing physical subtraction of physical addition the child has the ability to understand what is happening and the mental ability with words to illustrate the calculation is it understands physically.
