[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents should really band together and tell the administration to back off big time on the whole SEL push.

They keep making us teach lessons we're absolutely not trained to deliver. I teach STEM, not psych.

My students hate (with a big H) the SEL lessons because they want to use that period to get their homework done and to relax a bit. The lessons are canned, preachy, unconvincing and embarrassingly contrived powerpoints.

And after an entire year of delivering these once a week, our school has no soap in the boys' bathrooms because kids have broken and keep breaking all the soap holders off the walls.

I feel this way about most pushes the schools make. Anti-bullying isn’t working. Based on all the football incidents last year anti-racism isn’t working. Maybe *gasp* schools are not the best places for kids to learn these things-or at least not through stuff that feels like horrible corporate training.[/quote]

I know!  Please just let me teach my content area.  I am not psychologist or social worker.  [/quote]
