Agree 100%.

I do not want my child to be administered interventions by the school based on this sketchy, subjective “screener.”

[b]Worse - the results become part of my child’s permanent record.  What if the wrong combination of a mere child’s answers leads to the school deeming my child “mentally ill ?”[/b]

Anyone know for certain, the future consequences of a bad score on this SEL test?  We are opting out.[/quote]

This was exactly my fear.[/quote]

FWIW, my youngest scored really low - but it’s consistent with the emotional issues he is dealing with (and sees a therapist for).  Rather than be deemed “mentally ill,” the school offered some before-school mindfulness opportunities to help address some of his stress.  I think it’s great and I have to say, the school has been supportive throughout.

I think you all need to take a big deep breath (be mindful!) and [b]really consider that FCPS wants to help.[/b]  It’s in their best interest to ensure kids are emotionally and mentally present and ready to learn.  These surveys are well-known and much-discussed on DCUM, so none of it should have been a surprise to you.[/quote]

Lol. This has to be the biggest crock of sh*t I’ve ever heard. They want to help?! Then get smaller class sizes and kick the disruptive kids out! [/quote]
