SEL

I believe that SEL can be harmful and result in psychological profiling and behavior tracking.  

“Be afraid of what we don’t see – Bring it to light.” 

Transparency in education is important to protect our children.

School Board June 2021 discussion of SEL and Panorama in Cherokee County.

“CCSD has used Panorama for an optional, anonymous survey of students to help guide the focus of future SEL lessons.  For example, the survey data shows growth in areas including: how well students can persevere through setbacks to achieve important long-term goals; how well students consider the perspectives of others and empathize with them; and how well students deliberately use strategies to manage their own learning processes generally.  Parents can opt their child out of surveys and are given opportunities to do so.

The Panorama survey is not the same as the State-mandated Georgia Student Health Survey, contrary to some public speakers’ comments.  The State survey, which also is optional, is used as part of its determination of a school’s and School District’s climate score and which factors into a school and School District’s College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) score.  It asks students questions about topics such as alcohol and drug use, bullying and harassment, suicide, and other behaviors.  CCSD also administers an optional Sources of Strength survey for select middle school and high school students on these topics, and the survey includes encouragement to contact school counselors if they want counseling help.  Parents can opt their child out of surveys and are given opportunities to do so.”

US Attorney General has family links to Panorama which has the ability to data mine from Cherokee County school surveys.  

US Attorney General’s son-in-law and co-founder of Panorama Education promotes a book to teachers by a communist domestic terrorist leader who was involved in terror attacks within the US.

Parents did not approve of SEL materials linking their eighth-grade children to a website about sex.  The parents felt the SEL program was "usurping family values and beliefs".
