(sigh) Just a brief skim for now (late night Japan), but 40 years teaching in Japan, ending my career by supplementing my pension as a teaching assistant in public schools ... and observing that nobody in Japan is taking responsibility for keeping the kids masked during classes, silenced during lunch. Rather, it is an acceleration of the Prussian model of public education on which modern Japan was built. I've finally come up with a descriptive name for the most common pedagogic approach here ... which similarly applies to two other institutions, the military and the penal system ... 'chain of command'.
Private schools and/or private tutors are a bit different. They always have been. I would argue that we are not being ushered into technocratic neo-feudalism because even since the Magna Carta, feudalism never went away. Self-entitled, narcissistic sociopaths have simply found other ways to game the systems. Dr. Ramani makes a good argument here ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8dhS0lMcxM, and A. Lobaczewski's 'Political Ponerology; The Science of Evil, Psychopathy, and the Origins of the Totalitarian State' do an even better job of pulling back the curtain than the current meme of Desmet's ''Mass Formation Psychosis''.
Another great article from Hugh - my question is why aren't more teachers etc talking about these harms. Where has peoples protective nature gone? Why have parents and professionals allowed this to happen? Fear/paranoia and a gullible belief in the government - lets hope this changes in 2023 and everyone gets to see who they really are. Selfish puppets with only their best interests at heart...
I am thinking that the children, depending on what they witnessed and what visual and mental trauma they have been subjected to, some may have very hard time being normal ever again. Those that survive the jabs I hate even speculate.
no doubt you will have read some of my other articles ,notably those setting out the mental health data eg 1 million UK children awaiting help for a mental health issue. you might also read Sarah Waters of HART
As an educator for the past 50 years, learning about how our children have suffered during these last 3, breaks my heart. But I realize that it is essential for those of us educators, who understand the psychology of children, who empathize with them but also are greatly concerned with the future of the human race, to step up to the task of designing the appropriate curriculums, necessary to heal the horrible damage done. We can't let our children down! We must compel teachers, administers and those who are involved with education to engage in a new paradigm, which is much more student centered. More than ever, we need lots and lots of good people, teachers. To me the way to save our children is to sacrifice the methods of teaching-learning which do not focus directly on that individual child's needs to feel good about themselves, to feel loved, to know who they are, and be given what they need to be healed. We can't give up! What Canada is doing is horrific--legalizing suicide and encouraging children. We need to go in the opposite direction. Thank you, Hugh McCarthy for sending a reminder to read your posts. They are most important. Blessings to All.

Well done Hugh.
Cheers from Japan, and a Merry Christmas to you.
