This is a bit of a different episode.  Lately I've been having a multitude if conversations, with educators, clients, and kids on all grade levels, facing public education as we know it today in 2023.  I am hearing so many more struggles students, teachers, and parents are having the last few years.  Most public schools have introduced a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum to support students emotionally, normalize talking about feelings, and awareness of peer relationships.  This is such a necessary shift within our educational system.  However, the academic expectations, have not been adjusted to meet the needs of our post pandemic students and teachers.  Check out my thoughts on WHY I feel we are in an academic crisis in America.
