I meet teachers everywhere with worried looks on their faces, comments like “I can’t take it anymore” & “Someone should listen to the teachers.” If you want to see America’s future, look at our public schools. If you want to improve America’s future, listen to our teachers.
Most don’t realize the high incidence of social & emotional trauma among kids - and teachers! - today. Starting with pre-school we must provide more than education; we must provide entrance into a better life. We need social and emotional learning and trauma-informed education.
America has the right social workers, counselors, teachers & early childhood experts. They’re with the kids every day; they know what we need and they know what to do. But only a small % of our underserved kids get the help they need, feeding a multi-generational trend of despair
Only a massive realignment of investment in our children, teachers and schools will ameliorate the dangerous social powder keg underlying American society. We can’t just treat symptoms. The cause of all societal dysfunction begins with despair among parents, children & families.
I do believe getting back to the basics is the way forward. Education begins at home and it's all about laying the right foundation before sending your children to the public school system. It's all about perspective and an intrinsic desire to address the pertinent problems.
= better paying jobs so parents have the time and energy to raise their kids. Less economic disparity from the top down.
