Actually this is not a better example, because the Pediatrician’s scope change still is in the realm of child well-being. Additionally, when they see an issue or cause for concern outside of their expertise, they recommend the patient to another provider best equipped to address.  Schools taking on food, vision/eye screening, mental health care, etc are things waay outside the scope of education or for which Educators are experts.  Expanding the scope in the realm of education purposes would be like inclusion of health class, bringing in a counselor to talk about ways to have good mental health, or even taking a field trip to a community garden to talk about healthy food and ways to grow.  All of these would still be about education.

Anything can be an impediment to learning, but that doesn’t mean school districts are best for addressing.

The reason all these things are done in school is because that is where kids are, and thus its easier to service them there.  Which would be fine, if we actually rethought how schools and services should be setup to best serve as a school and community center.  But as we haven’t, these are just add-no things that we keep throwing into the public school system.[/quote]

Schools in the US have been doing these things for at least 100 years. No rethinking is required.[/quote]
