[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher it has become clear to me the SEL is basically just trying to teach kids how behave in public and problem solve.  These were skills kids were supposed to learn from parents but it just seems like a significant number of parents have dropped the ball.  School is treated as daycare by a lot of the same parents who don’t want to deal with their own kids.[/quote]

I always wondered what the new obsession with SEL is about. This explains it though. Parents just aren’t parenting anymore. How sad.[/quote]

My kid is in an amazing SEL school, and the result is fantastic for teachers, students, parents and administration. Removes so much dysfunction[/quote]

As would parents actually parenting... but let's keep dumping more on the teachers, seems to be working out well [/quote]

It’s easier to teach SEL to 20 kids than to deal with 20 families and all their dysfunction, especially if the teacher is also dysfunctional. Much easier[/quote]

Well, I do think I'm a pretty decent parent, but my kids benefited tremendously from SEL. My kids are just more likely to accept advice and guidance without a struggle from teachers, so when it was time for the whole class to sit down and learn belly breathing, they learned it in kindergarten and now, at ages 14 and 11, they still do it. It's not just for dysfunctional families. [/quote]
