[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want the schools to focus on teaching kids. I don't need the schools to be worried about all things equity. I need them to teach grammar, spelling, science, history, math, and other core subjects. I don't want time devoted to my kids social well being or questions about his thoughts on racism or social justice issues. Focus on academics and stop worrying about how comfortable he is discussing race.

I don't want Trump and his far right supporters so I vote democrat but that doesn't mean that I want Sanders and his bunch either. I want schools to focus on teaching kids and not worried about being the base platform for everything equal. We cannot legislate equity in schools, it doesn't work that way. Title I schools have different issues that have to be addressed to improve the kids access to education and close the gaps. Changing the standards for kids at not Title 1 schools hurts those kids and does nothing to help the kids at the Title I schools.

Which is going to matter more to them in 30 years, your kid's social well being, or what they learned in geometry or chemistry class? How often do people use the latter in everyday life?[/quote]

The people that invented the computers and wi-fi you posted this with tend to use these type of subjects. [/quote]

[b]What percentage of the population are those people?[/b][/quote]

Who cares?  All that matters is what I want for my children.  I get to have a voice in exchange for my tax dollars.  If your child needs a "social well being" education provided by the public school system, you ask for it.  We can duke it out with out votes..  [/quote]

I don’t think this is a party issue.  I am a democrat and I think all the SEL stuff is bullcrap.  [/quote]

+1. My Hs kid missed a semester of math, between spring 2020 and 4 days weeks 2021-2021.  She  went into the math class she was recommended for. And week 1, it was clear it was the wrong placement.  She wasn’t ready and needed to step down to standard.  The school made her take it a for a full semester witn a lot of extra remediation she was responsible for (not 5 minutes help from the school) amd made us hire a tutor.   And only then did they let her drop to standard.

It’s her senior year and this grade goes to colleges for ED.  Skip the SEL, and get my kid remediation in math. Because working so hard and doing so much extra work (with 6 other APsJ caused some much stress. No amonut if SEL would change that. [/quote]
