IMO, It’s weird that people are more protective over an inanimate objects then they are over their own children. I use the cell phone example because have been lead to believe that things matter more then people. I trust the mother of my children to bring them up in alignment with what we value more then I do people I don’t know.
You ask a lot of rhetorical questions. If you are a teacher why would you ask me something that you should be a subject matter expert on?
For the sake of the conversation I’ll start with something simple. I don’t want my children eating gmo Frankenstein foods. Sure I could pay an exorbitant amount for a private school where better food is served or send them to school with a packed lunch.
My preferred approach is to use the relationship humans have with food and the preparation of it as the curriculum itself. Agriculture Biology Economics History Geography Mathematics are just basic stuff that has gone into the planning of a meal.
It’s not normal for humans to be “washed” at 30-40 years old. A lot of it starts with the food habits people grow accustomed to eating when they are younger. Why would I subject my children to that when there is someone who loves them more then anyone on the planet and I know they are going to teach them our way ?
I ask the questions because even though I may think I know what you're going to say, I'm not going to assume or pre-judge what your viewpoints are. I do troll a lot on this site but that question was actually meant in good faith.
(ALSO I was told by a specific poster on this forum that teachers are not experts on the matter of education and that PARENTS should be the deciding party and have full control when it comes to curriculum.)
Is your main issue with the public school system ONLY nutrition? Why not just give your child a packed lunch?
