Episode 342
The first problematic episode.
No conversation about parenting & family life. Solutions for children begins with and must be centered on parents & family.
Equality should be the goal not equity.
Capitalism has been the driver to lift people around the world out of poverty.
The best way to help children is regain a focus and value on core academic curriculum (think reading, history & arithmetic).
SEL is a distraction & diversion whose increase in schools & after school government funded programs continues to correlate with the rise of depression & anxiety in youth.
