[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After 3 days of training I cannot be more clear…this is not a social emotional learning curriculum. It is another “everyone is a stakeholder in decisions “ approach to “community building”. I give it 3-5 years of a wide range of buy in before it fizzles out or is replaced with something else.

[b]Kids should not be told they are stakeholders[/b]. They need to first learn discipline, restraint, and respect. Social emotional learning would focus on virtues like truthfulness, perseverance, kindness, etc. [/quote]

Agreed.

Which child expert decided that was a good idea?[/quote]

It seems logical that if you tell children that we’ve set up a system in which you have no stake and is going to control every aspect of your day for 6 hours, many if not most are going to resist and then you will need a punitive system to keep control of them. Why not have students acknowledged as stakeholders and help give input to the rules and expectations? [/quote]
