modern
schools are considered a cornerstone of society necessary for the
basic education of children in the important things in life. When
one chooses not to participate in this system any longer they are
viewed and treated as black sheep who've turned their back on
humanity and progress altogether.
This
is a misconception and the result of propaganda peddled by the
universities and their recruiting departments. One must not forget
that schools and universities are businesses that take in huge sums
of profit by overcharging for their services.
This
can be their students in universities or the local community in
public schools. The average expense is over 10,000 per year per
student enrolled in any type of schoo, being paid by the citizens.
The
subsidization of this system allows it to get away with things that
traditional businesses are not able to .
The
subject of today's conversation is nutrition, and what do the schools
teach us to eat. This show will be retitled are school lunches the
best society can provide? And in today's show I discuss some of the
things that are wrong with what students are fed in cafeterias and
more generally what they are taught is safe and healthy to eat.
Here
is a short excerpt from an article on parents.com about the school
lunch programs and the many ways they fall short of providing the
best in the form of nutrition or nutritional education.
You
see the sad part is most of us have simply given too much trust to
these institutions instead of relying on our own abilities and
interests to drive the learning and growth process in our lives.
By
being led to believe trust in the experts is all that is needed for
one to prosper , we are left open to all kinds of attacks and more
simply mistakes and being taken advantage of by those who are
conscious.
For
instance, there is a huge notion that schools are responsible for
most children learning to read and write and after all we remember
spending all that time and all those hours practicing in kindergarten
right?
Well
it seems these have no true effect and actually learning to read
takes place elsewhere. The reason for this is quite simple and if
you look at the U.S. Bureau of education's own statistics, they tell
you that only 19% of high school graduates don't know how to read,
while only 14% of the general population doesn't know how to read.
This lets you know that you dace a 5% greater risk of not learning to
read or write by graduating high school.
