35 Award-Winning Teacher Scott Harris Discusses The Fad of "Emotional Wellness" Programs in Education
from The ReasonRx Podcast · host Michael Gold
In this episode, Scott and Michael discuss the fad of "emotional wellness" programs in schools -- and how to do things right. We have emotions and should deal with them -- and we all have to learn how to do so through life -- but "emotional wellness" programs get things wrong in many ways, and do not give teachers and school personnel the means to do what they really want: produce emotionally and physically healthy adults who can think well and achieve good things in life.To support the show and help us grow our audience -- so we have more of an impact on education and the culture -- please help us with a donation:1. https://www.patreon.com/reasonrxpodcast 2. https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=SP6QPQKJU4XSS&source=url Also, please consider liking us on your podcast app, and leaving a rational review.And if you find an episode valuable, please share it with parents, teachers, school personnel, friends, and family.
