Guidance Document Change: The 2020 Virginia General Assembly passed House Bill 753 directing the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) to develop guidance standards for social emotional learning (SEL) for all public students in grades Kindergarten through 12 in the Commonwealth. The Virginia Social Emotional Learning Standards were developed in collaboration with an SEL Advisory Committee, composed of educators, community leaders, agency personnel, and parents. The Virginia SEL Standards are aligned with the Profile of a Virginia Graduate and centered in equity. This intentional focus allows the Standards to explicitly teach the skills needed to be “life ready” and to create more equitable learning environments.

How about going back to basics and teaching academics ? Kids can’t spell nor write in cursive don’t know  our constitution nor are prepared to live on their own (no life skills like managing your money , cooking and nutrition or how our free market society works)! But they are getting super at blaming others for failure and playing victims! I don’t need the school to raise my child to be a “critical thinker” -i will take care of that!
