Collectivism? . . . shouldn't raise any eyebrows . . . nope . . . I haven't read those books. Did have a history teacher who made everyone read many sides of an issue and then decide what you would have done. . . What were his views? He never gave them away. - That wasn't the point of the exercise. https://casel.org/casel_sel-3-signature-practices-playbook-v3/ Again with "Belonging" BS. . . . I remember getting training to help adults with "belonging" . . . I said I wasn't their daddy, they can grow up. You can have school spirit, but school is NOT your family. (My state actually says SEL helps build a "sense of family") Why would we want to trust the school teacher to reinterpret small children's emotions for them? SEE . . . "gaining acceptance" . . . "fitting in" AKA "sense of belonging".

https://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/se/ This is California. This is not a new class. This is everything, everywhere, all at once. Because WESAYSO. This is pseudoscience. This is mysticism. This is a cult.

Wikipedia says Steiner had mixed relations with the nazi party. The theosophy symbolism should make it apparent there's possible influence from theosophy to the nazis. Until recently I hadn't realized how religious Hitler's speeches sound. (Probably because they weren't in English, and the practice of changing the meaning of words is what cults do) Blavasky's Theosophy divided people into races with certain jobs or missions. One race was the Aryans. That's not to imply CASEL is of the Nazi's, just they seem to both have common influences related to theosophy.

Yes vpw. SEL is primarily funded by CASEL. Billions of dollars are going in. This is big money. So corporate buzzspeak. CASEL's mold was greatly influenced by the Fetzer Institute. Fetzer was a big spiritualist influenced by Bailey (who wrote about education), another spiritualist under Blavasky who was a Theosophist. Whatever that is. Blavasky may have written about Aryans. That's one rabbit hole. My son makes friends with all the humans on all the intersection lines I can think of. (Aparently fertility is also a privilege to be checked). But that matter of race has not come up. It's certainly suggested. . . . When something is wrong when nothing is wrong anything could be wrong. The issue of focusing on these emotional and social matters cannot be standardized. That's a goalpost that can't stay still. And at the expense of the traditional purpose of school. There's more rabbit holes, of course.

My kid was 3. I believe the intent, looking at my State's website, is that it is to be for everyone, everywhere, all the time.

They were not up front about it. Looking back I felt it was sneaky. SEL sells itself as science backed such as meta-analysis or studies (rollseyes). I think they are also trying to generate data with bogus problems that solve themselves anyway.

Alice A Bailey?

I don't think I asked for one. Familiar with Helena Blavatsky the theosophist?

I did not hear of SEL until I was "confonted" with it in a series of matters I found odd. I am asking people in other states their experience.

I asked multiple people in a group setting at the school what the issue was. I have official looking paperwork. I have made multiple requests to visit the school so they can show me this thing I need to be educated on. I believe it's an issue created out of incentive.

That's what I thought. His academics and conduct are fine. So an issue was fabricated. Then we were spoken down to and even put in a state of worry until I found the language rabbit holes. Then I got more concerned.

Well one issue I'm directly dealing with is the school responsible to socialize children? As in a priority over academics and as an equal or authority to the parents?

No, just math. Because it hurts emotions.

I was clear with the school awhile ago there was a transfer of power and a crossing of boundaries. I felt they outside their role. But apparently this could be a move to supplant family and the first amendment.

It is belived this gets back to dualism. Body and spirit and becoming a God. Familiar?

Both. Referring to school as family. Teaching the "whole child". What's the "whole child". Well it's starts with "each child". What's that mean? Well . .

And to avoid politics, there people who heavily influenced CASEL were Spiritualists. Hence the weird language and psuedoscience.

It's in every state, both public and private schools. Might start by looking at the information provided by your repspective state's website. If you ask the school staff what on God's green earth they are doing, they will say words, say nothing's wrong get nervous and point to the next person. The next person will say words and phrases and then defer to The State. You will then read page after page after hyperlink after page, in their words, "to educate yourself". If you're the type of person who expects a straight answer and information that doesn't sound like a Way Mag, don't send your kid to school.

A person does not have to be on a website to be affected by it. That relationship is a little tilted. YOU influence those around us. And then speak down to me for voicing annoyance. Eat that cucumber, jerk.

This website has a "Questioning Faith" forum. The Way is not a Faith. It's not a science either. I've asked before what this little two-step is about.

Skyrider's opening post focuses on the minority. The perspective of the The Followers. Not the majority, those who looked down on TWI from the get go. We'll call it Critical Way Theory.

It would be more amusing for some if you posted that AFTER banning me. Although I fail to see your logic, you have no "other side of the story". Pages upon pages of no story.

The reason for banning me is that this website cannot exist without sacrifice. The cost for this nonsense. You've greatly extended the life of The Way International. There is no other side to the story to reveal, or it would be stated.
