You won’t believe it until you see it. I have worked for the past 2 weeks as a cover supply teacher in inner city London. The bulk of the lesson is behaviour management. A quiet class is near impossible to achieve. You spend most of the lesson just trying to sort of bad behaviour, which takes place all over the class. Then you give up realise that it’s hopeless. You just let them carry on. These kids are not even doing ‘memorizing facts’, let alone logic and reason. They just play on their mobile phones or talk and play loudly. It’s a joke. I went to a school in the same area 20 years ago and it was never like this. There was, overall, peace and learning in the class and respect for the teachers. I think the situation was, honestly, beyond repair, in terms of the attitude of many of these kids. There was no appreciation for any kind of learning. To me, it was not a school, but a containment zone.

This stems back to Lumerian “white light” order, which preceded the Luciferian “survival of the fittest” model. Prior to 280,000,000BC or thereabouts, there were NO meat eaters. Discarded body parts of dead animals (furs, etc.) were deemed unhygienic.

I guess I must be a Vegan since I do not eat meat and dairy products.

Spirulina is great. I also use a lot of organic Hemp protein powder. It taste good in smoothies and soups and sauces. In fact I use it for all kinds or recipes. And of course, I also eat all sorts of nuts contains a lot of proteins.

Classical Conversations incorporates logic into its course curriculum, really challenging students and parents alike to truly learn how to learn and how to think. Excellent article, Jon. Keep up the great work!!

You are ignorant in this matter…for instance spirulina a sea algae has 55 grams of protein per 100 grams as compared to beef… 100 grams of 85% lean and 15% fat will yield 26 grams of protein. Also in beef you will the receive toxins and food additives, farmer brown grows his stock in… negative feedback from stockyards alone is enough to cause illness. How about that pink slime they use to glue meat together in formation of economy steaks.
Need I go on…
As for the matter of animals rights, there is not enough room here on this wonderful Web page for such a diatribe…ignorance and illogical of your kind amazes me. Educate yourself please before spouting of about subjects that would heal this broken planet rather than hurt…
Truly wishing you the best
Michael

Our society is rapidly sliding back to the Dark Ages of a Europe following the fall of the Roman Empire, wherein superstition replaced logic and reason in public discourse. It took centuries before Europe had fully emerged from these Dark Ages – after the Crusaders returned from the Middle East with all types of written materials that were salvaged and kept in libraries and other institutions. These materials included Arabic numerals (which are used widely today), along with other mathematical and scientific data dating as far back as ancient Greece and Rome.
Yes, the Crusades did have their redeeming side, the re-introduction of ancient literature, science, and mathematics to a mostly illiterate and ignorant Europe. It took a couple of centuries for the Renaissance to blossom; and, it’s sad now to see the West – especially America – sliding back to those Dark Ages from which it took the West to emerge.
