NEW GOAL!!!!!!!!!
To break ground in a new education style that is customized for each students learning ability. such as slow down and speed up to the students pace of learning. this education will be mostly online and instead of textbooks flashdrives. and if a student understands something they can move on instead of holding someone back instead of letting them move ahead.

Before the development of the electric guitar and the use of synthetic materials, a guitar was defined as being an instrument having a long, fretted neck, flat wooden soundboard, ribs, and a flat back, most often with incurved sides. The term is used to refer to a number of related instruments that were developed and used across Europe beginning in the 12th century and, later, in the americas.

The sole "evidence" for the kithara theory is the similarity between the greek word "kithara" and the Spanish word "quitarra". It is hard to imagine how the guitar could have evolved from the kithara, which was a completely different type of instrument - namely a square-framed lap harp, or "lyre".
It would also be passing strange if a square-framed seven-string lap harp had given its name to the early Spanish 4-string "quitarra". Dr. Kasha turns the question around and asks where the Greeks got the name "kithara", and points out that the earliest Greek kitharas had only 4 strings when they were introduced from abroad. He surmises that the Greeks hellenified the old Persian name for a 4-stringed instrument, "chartar".
