Improve Tier 1 Mental Health Support! Student-to-counselor ratios right now are 400:1 or worse. This has been normalized & is unacceptable. The resources are there & I’m calling on states to invest in reducing these ratios because counselors & students deserve better.
The public education reading crisis is inextricably linked to increased mental health issues &/or disorders, therefore, improving Tier I Curriculum & Instruction would substantially reduce — possibly eliminate — the need for mental health support, but almost everyone knowns that’s NOT your or this administration’s agenda. Biden and the woke, Marxist DEM Agenda is to *increase*; functional illiteracy, mental illness, government dependency, control over the electorate, et al, in attempts to shift America to a socialist nation. NO THANKS. #HQIM #CurriculumMatters #StructuredLiteracy #EdPrep #ReformEdPrep #ScienceOfReading #LiteracyIsEquity
@SecCardona MH prob have increased since ED reform. With that ,teaching rubrics & schools focused on verbal/cognitive approaches w experiential learning shunted to tech school. Experiential learning ( Arts, practical arts, work) rehearse skills to ground selves from overthinking & worry.
@SecCardona fund it! make it a federal law! don't just tweet about it.
@SecCardona Yes, yes, yes!! 👏🏼👏🏼Our students deserve it!
@SecCardona They want interns to work for free! This just scratches the surface of the dysfunction in the counseling/therapy communities! Especially, marriage & family therapy for which I am apart of.
@SecCardona Calling on states won’t get it done. How about you give schools the money to hire more folks? Thanks!
@SecCardona Secretary can states defer federal public school funding to private, charter schools that hurt support of public schools? These states that offer vouchers with school federal funding is not acceptable. I thought funding to schools were not allowed to be used elsewhere. (?)
@SecCardona Don’t forget school social workers and school psychologists!
@SecCardona @MrColeWSD ThrivingSchool.org has a solution for this that will provide relief to the whole system.
