[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. But I am sick of morons blathering all over DCUM about how they are the real education experts. [/quote]

but it’s not education - it’s pseudoscience at worse, poorly and partially delivered at best. if my kid needs therapy he’ll get it from a professional. and as a mom of a kid who has actual social issues at school, I can also assure you that they use “SEL” as window dressing, while failing to do the hard work of actually helping the kids who need it. [/quote]

spoken like a true karen who doesn't get she's part of a system where not all kids have access to private therapy and the only thing they get is in school (aren't you screaming for IPL)

and its pseudoscience?  really? eye roll at anyone who thinks teaching kids to breathe to calm down is pseudoscience.

my child benefits from it greatly.  and i can see how in DL he's not getting it.  i need to step it up and do it with him but work, chores, reg stress and i forget[/quote]

oh ffs. if the children are traumatized and need therapy then they need therapy, provided through the school as part of an IEP or 504. Lessons on “take a deep breath” delivered by a BA are not going to help.

maybe you could have benefited from some SEL in your younger years.

not everyone has access to therapy like you think they do[/quote]

I mean this is the whole point I’m making. Rather than delivering accesible education (including effectively addressing individual behavioral issues) or delivering actual therapy, they’re giving a 20 minute lesson on “take a breath” and putting up a poster on empathy, and then ostentatiously blabbering about “SEL.” [/quote]
