[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To me, it's more that it's a missed opportunity. At some other time, I probably wouldn't care as much, but students need real skills related to self-regulation, reframing situations, and persisting through frustration. [/quote]

Students this year absolutely need to unlearn learned helplessness. They don’t even try before giving up and crying. Writing down a class mission statement isn’t going to do anything to achieve this. [b]Leader in Me is a joke. The kids hate it too.[/b][/quote]

Kids see through all of this nonsense.

HERD is supposed to be for kids to finish work or get extra help.  Possibly for community-building.  Not for BS propaganda lectures of any type - political or commercial.

If they want to help the kids somehow (offer SSL hours for making cards or picking up trash outside, etc), that would even be a more worthwhile use of this time.

As is stands, my kid hates HERD when they are forced to pay attention to this kind of stuff and I know she is not alone.  [/quote]
