[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher, I don’t thinks there’s anything inherently wrong with the LIM teachings. However, there has to be buy-in from both staff and students. Right now MCPS is in crisis. For most of DCUM, your children attend the better schools- the ones where most parents are able to purchase school supplies, feed your children, have housing security, etc… However, the majority of the county is not like that.

The children are coming in with no basics. They are far behind in academics (think a 4th grader who can’t do 7-6 without using her fingers or a 5th grader unable to write a basic sentence). Their behavior is also far behind. The kids think running down the hall screaming in the middle of class is normal. Fist fight on the playground are weekly. Racial slurs are constant.

What most teachers are saying, is that right now there are more important worries than this curriculum. It’s not what SEL should look like based on what we are actually seeing in class. If the curriculum covered things like zones of regulation or general study skill or school appropriate behaviors, then there would be a lot more buy-in.[/quote]

This is very helpful. Thank you.[/quote]
