Guidance Document Change: The 2020 Virginia General Assembly passed House Bill 753 directing the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) to develop guidance standards for social emotional learning (SEL) for all public students in grades Kindergarten through 12 in the Commonwealth. The Virginia Social Emotional Learning Standards were developed in collaboration with an SEL Advisory Committee, composed of educators, community leaders, agency personnel, and parents. The Virginia SEL Standards are aligned with the Profile of a Virginia Graduate and centered in equity. This intentional focus allows the Standards to explicitly teach the skills needed to be “life ready” and to create more equitable learning environments.

STOP!!!!!
 

This is absurd !! These kids need to be taught the basics, handwriting , reading, math. I mean actually teach and not teach to pass some SOL test.  This is stuff for parents to teach to their children .  This is not okay to shove this crap down kids throats.  This is why my children do not log on during the class that teachers this garbage. I have also notified county my children will be home schooled to ensure  they are being taught the necessities not this bullcrap.
