[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everything in education, and particularly urban education, is cyclical.  A heavy focus on attending to the needs of the whole child and social-emotional learning is not new.  However, after 20+ years of high-stakes accountability and testing ad nauseam, the system is churning out grads who get to college or the workplace and are maladjusted/ therefore not performing optimally and/or quickly dropping out.  Whole-child/SEL work is an evolution of government and philanthropic efforts centered on persistence-- not just getting kids to college but through.  Those who complain about infusing this into a child's educational program likely have the resources and awareness to socialize this at home and/or within other engagements (sports, faith-based activities, etc.)[/quote]

So the schools are supposed to raise these kids because their parents can't be bothered to? This is why people leave public schools. It's not fair to kids who are there to learn and whose instructional time is eaten away by whatever trendy useless nonsense ed schools and social justice activists want taught these days. I mean, math and reading scores in the city are abysmal:

There is only so much time in a school day. [/quote]

THIS x 1 million.  And you wonder why DCPS is bleeding all the middle class higher performing kids.  [/quote]
