[quote=Anonymous]Hmm, it seems like this thread went a bit off the rails. But to OPs comments, I think it really depends how the SEL is done. I have no patience for "fluff" generally, but I think conscious discipline has been really helpful. The idea is that learning cannot occur if the brain is in the flight or flight state, so it focuses on techniques to help kids feel safe and relaxed so their brain can learn. It's not something that is intended to replace therapy for kids experiencing trauma, nor is it the sort of thing that is only useful to kids who have experienced trauma. In fact, I find the techniques I've learned through the school useful in dealing with my loud (so so so loud) kids, and I'm a well-educated, well-resourced, reasonable-seeming, grown ass woman. I feel sympathy for anyone, though, who is getting fluff instead of effective SEL, or anyone who is getting SEL in lieu of therapy. [/quote]
