Standardizing mental wellnesseducation // may 18 It seems we have become more unhappy than ever before, our children too. A study done by a Johns Hopkins professor showed that the chance of an adolescent experiencing major depression rose by 37% in the span of almost 10 years. And the truth is the numbers are continuously increasing. While we concern ourselves with making sure that all of our students are able to fulfill certain expectations of them, with standardized testing and common core math problems, we neglect to pay attention to how these expectations are affecting their mental health.
making mistakes is making progress We currently live in a world where all systems praise correct answers, perfect positions, flawless appearance; none of which are actually teaching us how to be happy, in fact, teaching us nothing at all.When it comes to education and parenting our kids, we’ve lost focus on the idea that mistakes is where the true learning lies. We have so many different methods of teaching, but currently our program for education is promoting a perfect time, asking that all of our children find their worth and that letter a grade. However, what we are lacking to do is to allow our children to delve into their mistakes, forgetting that a true lesson learned requires us to take the path most untaken.
Avoidance teaches ignorance
Here’s why sheltering your kids will eventually lead to ignorance.
On May 25 George Floyd was suffocated to death by police, this was the latest of a history of police brutality against the black community. In light of George Floyd’s death America began to address its issue of racism, within that space of time people began to realize that their complicitness and silence had become a gear in the motion of racism that is still existing today. The real issue that non-people of color seem to forget is that the racism of our history has lingered and trickled down to a modern day version which is ignorance and denial. Just like recipes are passed down and over time become different through new generations adding their own tweaks, so does a history of racism. It doesn’t look like white neighbors torturing and lynching people of color, it looks like silence and denial.
