[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should take the money they put into emotional learning and give each school a pool. Swimming does more for emotional regulation than any of the mindful moments or whatever other nonsense they have going on. And it's backed by actual science [/quote] I agree that our schools should have pools and swimming classes. It’s an important life skill and many Black and Brown kids do not learn outside of school, creating a safety issue. However, as someone who took mandatory odd/even day swimming in high school, I know that the pool itself and locker rooms where students are changing into suits can become another place where students are bullied. I can’t imagine that they would have the staffing to do this with students who would need 1:1 for adaptive swim class so it would become an equity issue. MCPS isn’t picking good socioemotional learning programs, but our students definitely need lessons in empathy, tolerance, etc.[/quote]
