My website above tells the largest way to improve education, all across the world.
San Francisco Chronicle did about a full page article on my breakthrough U.S. Patent #4,813,710. This other newspaper copied most of that text, at: https://greensboro.com/he-turns-page-on-improved-dictionary/article_41dda787-07ff-57df-82a6-a7f51f753f2e.html

It turns out that not adequately understanding the words does far more harm than most people would imagine. The following paragraph is a TOO SHORT SUMMARY of what my website has to say on the importance of looking up words:

“If a person is reading words to understand a lesson, would it help to know what those words mean? Obviously – yes. Not understanding just One word in a sentence can make the meaning of that overall whole sentence vague or not understood. Ditto following sentences that depend their understanding on that earlier sentence. A person not looking up One word may find self poorly understanding the next paragraphs and even chapters.”

If you click on my above website at "Why Use a Dictionary," that will bring you to: http://dictionaryindex.org/use_of_dictionaries_part1.htm . Anyone reading this, plus its Part 2 and Part 3 will tell anyone interested how to have a far more successful education. For real.

Yoo hoo, is anyone out there interested in helping solve one of the largest problems societies have - - poor educations?

School Story

I spent many years trying to help the education in all the world, with my invented improved BOOK dictionary that is so much faster to find words, that many people would become More Willing to look up not understood words. Unbelievably back in 1990 before most cell phones, no book dictionary publisher wanted a dictionary much faster to find words, often 2 - 3 page turns, not the usual 6 - 7 page turns. That explains my current deep poverty.

In the past 200 years well over 50 patents were issued in countries all around the world for book dictionary indexes. They all had about 26 different charts. Then I come along with the large breakthrough to use ONE chart to find words with even fewer page turns. One chart would cost much less than 26 charts to apply to a dictionary. Plus one chart would not have the inconvenience of having to look over 26 charts to find which one chart to use at the moment.

I also set up California nonprofit corporation Comprehension Project, inc. Even though you cannot get my improved BOOK dictionary, above you can read ANYWAY on my website the best single thing that can be done much to improve education.

I spent many years actually selflessly, altruistically trying to help the overall world. I did not take a standard job and save up retirement money. I am low income and have about no money in the bank. I would not mind some help, to make my last years of life less difficult. Is anyone out there of a mind to help someone who went far out of his way to help others?

What if my fellow classmates of Sacramento High 1964 were proud of this classmate's efforts to help the world? What if some of those classmates set up a GoFundMe account for me? That would cost you about nothing, but might save me.

While my body is starting to fail in physical health, including my getting tired too fast to take a part time job - - on the other hand senility is not a problem for me. My mind and alertness and creativity are still quite good. Classmate Gary Meyer phoned me July 16, 2024, and he agreed that I sounded fully alert, etc.

Hi, Gary Meyer,

A new idea just occurred to me. This relates to what I wrote in my PROFILE. So kindly first read that. That information could put Sacramento High School Class of 1964 "on the map," where much of the world could sit up and take notice.

Heretofore, the way things are going OTHERWISE, the world basically could not care less about our Class of '64. Some of that class may feel they have lost some purpose in life, with the world much not looking to them for further contributions to a better world. What I propose gives some in the Class of ’64 a new way to contribute, and so add some NEW PURPOSE into their lives.

By helping me as I propose in my "Profile," you all would Also be helping all the world's education, in helping to point out the main damager to education and how to Fix that.

With Class of '64 somewhat "teaming up" with me, to get the word out on this way much to repair education, you all can play a part in helping all the world’s education.

Newspaper articles about all this will point out it was this Class of '64 that decided to help out, and help bring this necessary aid to education.

It would lend substance and credibility to newspaper articles writing about this - - that instead of saying just ALEXANDER WEILGART wants to bring this education aid to the public's attention - - it would sound all the better if newspapers could say some of this Class of '64 also want to bring this needed education aid to the public's attention.

IT WOULD NOT REQUIRE any schools or colleges officially to endorse this way to improve education. What if some teachers do not want the extra “bother” of paying any attention to the need to know what the words mean? I am not interested in waiting for whatever teachers, etc. to “come around.”

On the contrary, ANY individual public people, all on their own, could decide to employ this way to help their own educations. People can be SELF-DETERMINED here, and not need to be politely under the thumbs of whatever officials. If some officials are outright ignorant enough not to see the value of this aid to education, individual people can say “SO WHAT? We are going to do this ANYWAY."

What are some teachers going to do, get out and beg “Please, please do not use a dictionary and look up any not understood words?” They cannot very well claim that looking up not understood words will in ANY WAY hurt education. One point is, no student needs to wait for their approval to look up words and more adequately understand the lessons.

What I am saying is that otherwise the world is pretty much prepared to forget all about the Class of '64. But with supporting this necessary aid to education, you alll can continue to play an important part in helping the world.

So, sure, if you do what I propose in my Profile, you would be helping me. But in this helping to add Purpose to your lives, this can also be helping you. Here is an opportunity for you to help the world.

Respectfully, Alexander Weilgart

Hi, Gary, Thanks for phoning me earlier today. I registered, and looked up your photograph. I do remember you, but not really well. You said you remembered me. I asked you "How do you remember me?" You said you remember that I was really smart.

I went ahead and put in what I called "my profile." I included a lot of what I told you on the phone - how I spent many years trying to help the educations in all the world with my breakthrough U.S. Patent #4,813,710. My profile includes telling anyone how they can have a much more successful education, by going to my website www.EducationRescue.com .

This is FOR REAL. Go to my profile to learn more on how to handle the LARGEST DAMAGER there is to education and comprehension. Too many failing educations is one of the largest problems in all countries. Anyone care to learn how much to repair education and much help the world?

This yearbook's messaging to me is not going to work very well, because I am usually months behind checking my emails. I am too busy doing other creative stuff. I ask people who email me to leave me a phone message to look up their email, or else most likely I will never notice they sent that email.

Respects, Alexander Weilgart
