MONTGOMERY, Ala./EWORLDWIRE/Nov. 11, 2005 --- Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge, Pa., has selected Dr. Andrei Aleinikov as the 2005 recipient of the George Washington Honor Medal, the highest national award in the teacher/administrator category. As Aaron Siegel, president and CEO of the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge wrote, Dr. Aleinikov, president of International Academy of Genius, was selected for his "effort and accomplishments in waking up the genius in every child."
In one Singapore school, after less than three days of educational intervention, Aleinikov's Genius Education Methodology (GEM, already labeled "the GEM of Education" by media) saved 13 sixth graders who were selected by teachers as "doomed to fail" and "cannot be helped." Despite the teachers' predictions, all 13 children passed all the state exams (math, science, english and mother tongue). They had 52 chances to fail, but they failed none. Teachers called it a miracle; parents called it magic.
The award ceremony took place in The Club Atop Red Mountain in Birmingham, Al. at 11:30 a.m., Nov. 12, 2005.
