[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish schools would incorporate social skills and social emotional lessons into the curriculum. Those are critical life skills. Instead, they waste money on collecting this data and then nothing. [/quote]

Oh MY GOD! THey do! They waste a TON of time on this! My dd's teacher spent THIRTY FULL MINUTES every virtual school day on Positivity Project Schleck. More instructional time then for real subjects. Its ridiculous.[/quote]

Yep.  In high school, it’s an actual period/block.  That’s where they administer this and all the other idiotic surveys my kids have gotten this year.   Unreal how much time these buffoons waste.  So happy to be almost done with FCPS.[/quote]

In our HS they administered it during the entire English block, using crucial instructional time from kids who participated and from those who opted out.  In the past, a teacher commented here that, in order to ensure  everyone participates, they do it during the English period because it’s a class everyone takes in HS.  
Someone needs to explain why is that these surveys  and data collection take precedent over academic learning, and who makes this decision for us? What kind of expertise do school personnel have to effectively handle the outcome of the surveys? Are teachers utilizing their class time to train for this? If so, to whose benefit?  And, why is budget allocated to these social experiments instead of using it towards teacher wage increase; hiring more teachers and aids; buying textbooks to limit student time in front of screens; etc.?  These things will definitely better improve learning and class management, which do have a bearing on student well-being. [/quote]
