Appreciate this list of low-tech, time-honored approaches to teaching social-emotional learning in schools.

In the spirit of @nataliapetrzela’s thoughtful essay today, this is one area where parents + educators on both sides of the pol spectrum could find common ground… https://twitter.com/NancyEBailey1/status/1521106802150199296

Social-emotional learning is troubling especially due to the sensitive DATA collected on children and how it will be used. It is an issue that should concern all parents and educators. @Screensandkids https://nancyebailey.com/2022/05/02/the-trouble-with-social-emotional-learning-why-be-concerned-heres-why/

"Learning Loss" is a marketing scheme invented by ed tech companies, and embraced by the media. They create problems to solve in order to sell products. Oldest trick in the book. https://twitter.com/ELmagazine/status/1524776412233625603

@hanna_hurley @NancyEBailey1 We're a society that believes the lead issue has been eradicated & the health experts are doing everything possible to protect our children.
