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.
At what point must society - people having kids - accept responsibility for ourselves instead of always looking for someone else to get it right for us? Everyone needs help sometimes but do you really expect school social workers to raise a generation?
There should be at least one child psychologist & one family therapist in every elementary, middle, & high school. When children are abused at home, no one usually knows about it. A school has the opportunity of uncovering that abuse & working towards stopping and preventing it.
