[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LIM is a joke. I am responsible for a random group of MS kids for 17 minutes a week during which I click through these ridiculous slides.  Our video announcements take up most of my time. Kids laugh at any slide where they discuss or share. Such a waste of time.
If MCPS created secondary advisories like private schools it might actually be useful, but this corporate BS is downright insulting[/quote]

I truly do not understand the purpose of home room in 2023 and why they use it for things like that continuously fail and are ineffective.

Teachers are not counselors. They are teachers in their subject matter. The SEL training that was done in my kids' high school was a flop and a joke for exactly the reasons you said. It was done in homeroom, by teachers they have no connection to and the content was so canned and stiff that the kids didn't see the value in it. But MCPS continues to go after this model time and time again. Why?[/quote]

Because someone made some good money on it!  MCPS had money to spend and this is the type of thing that MCPS loves to spend money on.  To the tune of over a million dollars.

My kid did this with her Math teacher in MS.  What a joke.  It would have been better to just let students go get extra help in Math (or whatever subject matter) versus wasting this time on SEL.  Math teachers are not counselors and likely, most of them do not want to be.[/quote]
