My son had seizures when he was very little and the doctors were never able to find anything wrong. One visit to the chiropractor and he never had a seizure again. Don't knock chiropractors.

Meditation has been scientifically proven to be beneficial. I don't know what the crystals are supposed to do though.

Even more worrying is that this is a school head.  Hopefully, there will be many parents that decide, this is not the place to trust with the education of their children.

Unlikely. This is in America, where there is a case for every nut.

Here's a preposition to consider.
You are, for the most part, surrounded by hostile (or borderline) neighbors who will attempt to kill arbitrary innocent strangers at any moment. Meanwhile, others are putting their resources heavily into annihilating you.
Who has the luxury of time to spend their time in thoughtless indulgences? In it's way, even peace* has its price.

There is nothing more self-indulgent than being a Haredi man. 
I think that this debate is not really suited to CodeProject, but I'm willing to take it to e-mail, if you prefer.

Step 1: Prepare patties from a dead cow. If cats are present, be prepared to surrender the lion's share of the dead cow.
Step 2: Prepare the secret Big Wraith hamburger sauce. It can also be used as cat deterrent before all of the dead cow disappears. I changed the recipe. Instead of sweet paprica powder, I use jalapenos now.
Step 3: Pile up the buns, cheese and other stuff before firing up the grill. These should mostly be cat safe, but the bowl with the Big Wraith sauce will make sure that the lion does not find the cheese.
Step 4: Roast the cow! (About to happen in a few seconds)
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Don't you grill on a grill?
The algorithm appears incomplete. I fail to see how these steps make one burp. 
Also, what, if any, is the cat's contribution to the burp?

The algorithm has not ended yet. The last steps involve putting the Big Wraith together, eating it and then burp.
I would also be prepared for some exception handling:
catch(OutOfDeadCowException ex)
{
Grill(ex.cat);
}
catch(GeneralCatException ex)
{
Grill(ex.cat);
}
finally
{
Burp();
}

Like software there's front-end and (well, to be polite) business rules and the back end.
The burp, only accounting for the front-end invocations is merely a foreboding omen as to the "final outcome". You may well lose your mind . . .

Ha! All that has been delegated to a service (http://localhost.digestion.asmx) and the burp is the proper response when the service goes to work.

After a recent post, it occurred to me that we rarely see a good balance between architecture and code.
I often see:
under-architected, over-coded.
But I've also encountered:
over-architected, over-coded.
Personally, my goal is always "under-coded" (meaning, as little code as possible), and I find that that drives a certain amount of architecture, usually during the coding, not before the coding.
So it strikes me that the missing category:
well-architected, well-coded
is something that must be done simultaneously. Not the "architecture first" approach, not the "code as a hack" approach, but rather, while coding, considering where "architecture" can facilitate "well-coded."
And by architecture, I don't mean gloriosky layers of abstractions, thousands of interfaces, DI and IoC. To me, architecture includes writing small functions and maximizing code re-use (there are more, but I'm writing a post in the Lounge, not an essay.)
Thoughts?

While that makes sense in the abstract, I think it's misleading and results in compartmentalization. It's hard to express in words, but the activity of architecture and implementation is for me more of a process of moving around a lemniscate with fractal properties.

Design (architect) from the top down, then implement from the bottom up.
This statement should be refactored a bit.
Try "After the intended Architect understands the strengths and weaknesses and capabilities of the proposed technology stack as fully as possible", architect from the top down, Then implement from the bottom up and refactor the entire stack as soon as the "Real" tech stack is better understood. Then race to understand what new direction the industry is heading this month and refactor yet again to be ready for it.
Rinse and repeat.
