[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid at Blair has some kind of odd ball sessions every month or twice a month about 2 years. They were done by homeroom and the kids had to have some kind of discussions. My kid said she was not sure whether they were more painful for the teachers or students. Everyone was just willing time to pass by till it ended.[/quote] Oof, sounds painful. What a complete misunderstanding of the role of schools and mental health. Kids (and adults) derive mental health benefits by being productively occupied and challenged. The central role of schools is to provide that sense of growth and learning, as well as a place to socialize with peers and get adult support. For kids with identified mental health issues, schools ideally would be a bridge to more specialized and individual services. To the extent there is a role for top-down "SEL" training of teachers, it should be in classroom management/discipline, and support for special needs. [/quote]
