NO , NO, NO. While it is desirable to consider the needs of the whole child and encourage kindness, and give special aid to those who need it,  I think this SEL program contains language that seems very biased. Also depending on how it is implemented and the political views of the teacher it seems subject to politically driven ideology. Though we want all to succeed, the  idea “equality of outcomes” is not in keeping with the concept of reward for hard work, and with a thorough understanding of the value of diverse talents, possibly even prohibiting  some from reaching their potential , and this language may also create an unfortunate opportunity for litigation . A lot of work seems to be done on this but i think it is not the best way to help, and it feels like a lot to put on our teachers and sends them in the wrong direction  . We want all to succeed and to be inspired toward a lifetime of learning and achievement; THIS WILL NOT DO.
