Social and Emotional Learning in Schools – Another viewpoint

We are hearing a lot these days about public schools concentrating on SEL – Social and Emotional Learning. Like other education reforms before it, SEL makes many promises.

But, there are concerns that this relatively new program might not be in the best interests of students or parents. In fact, Robert Holland writes in the Detroit News that SEL might in the end actually result in a greater push for parents to maintain control with school choice enhancing things like education savings accounts, tax-credit scholarships, private-choice vouchers, and homeschooling.
