Basically none of these programs teach how to deal with the emotional intensity that is part of the learning difference. Whoops.

My parents and teachers hated it but I'd just use class time to read and study poo poo I was actually interested in and I was put in remedial classes as a result where I was basically allowed to continue doing that without repercussion. As a result I had a much better educational experience than a lot of my peers did

That said that predated smart phones and if I had had the option I definitely would've been reading dumb poo poo on the internet instead so I'm also glad my only choice was library books :shrug:

This is better now! They call it socio emotional learning, or SEL. It's not given as much time as subjects like math and language arts, but it is given some time, which is a huge improvement from when I was in school. And from what I can tell the kids are way better at regulating emotions and relating to each other in healthy ways.

Of course this means SEL is now a wedge issue for republicans, it has to be eliminated from schools because it's Marxist or whatever nonsense.

best trick ever was learning the command you could run with the hypercard command line tool thing, which would terminate the AtEase parental control sofrware so we could use the computer like an actual computer lol

The blue check mark isn't useless though, the whole reason that kind of verification came about is to stop people impersonating celebrities, usually just for clout but sometimes to take advantage of kids for gross and illegal purposes.

I was the second kid in that program when I was in school. My first reaction to it was “wow this other kid is kind of an rear end in a top hat”.

That impression never really wore off over the next twelve years.

Meanwhile, one of the two kids I knew in it did a murder-suicide on his ex-girlfriend in college.

It is. But now they want to use SEL skills for everything, even things that are executive functioning differences like ADHD that it’s not going to be particularly effective in helping.

The other problem is that some (but not all) of the SEL is out of the same research as corporate self care stuff. So it can pull the focus off of environmental systematic problems / issues and push it down onto a skill the kids are either learning or failing to learn.

It’s different now and some things are better and some are worse.

Huh, that's what that was. It was on the Macs at the school my Mom worked at from 93-99 or so. I knew almost nothing about computers then, but I remember that being a thing on those computers.
