[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My issue with meditation is not the religious aspect but how it is viewed as a panacea for all problems. As a fed, my office pushed this on us rather than undergoing necessary reforms to deal with the stressful and unproductive work environment. It puts the onus back on the employee (or in OP's case, the kid) to manage external factors without real change. [/quote]

I agree with you on this.

The reason morale plummeted at my school in 2019 was that the admin team stopped solving problems and just referred kids to the “chill zone” room and told adults to register for a free mindfulness app. [/quote]

I think superficially this is a problem, however... it is actually a great life lesson for all people to learn that ultimately, the only person you can count on is you.  Having tools to help you react to problems in a positive or at least neutral way is better than not having those tools, since you will always encounter problems and there is no guarantee that anyone can or will solve them for you...[/quote]

Well isn't that the most classically American individualism take.[/quote]
