The Reason We Learn

Parents, do you know what MTSS stands for? Do you know What Tier 1 is, or why suddenly your schools are talking so much about SEL, and metal illness, and something called "wellness" or "whole child" or "community schooling" In this show, real working teachers, with decades of experience, will help you understand why SCHOOL is not the place to go if you want to improve mental health, never mind to diagnose any child with a mental health problem. Stephanie Edmonds has been a tireless fighter for medical freedom for students, and to restore childhood and parental rights and autonomy. She's a creator at Chalkboard Review, a mom, and a teacher. Find Stephanie @teachingliberty on Instagram and @TeachingLiberty1 on Twitter. Dissident Teacher is anonymous because she is still teaching in a CA school. She reports from behind the scenes, and with the insight she's developed from decades of teaching some of the most "at-risk" students in America. She currently maintains a Substack aimed at offering the macro view of traditional American public schools so you can calculate the true cost of “free” public education to your family. Her mission is to inform and empower parents so you won't allow the insecurities the government school system imbued in you keep you from doing what’s best for your children now.

Lynn Taylor, the Commoncore Diva is back with some important news for parents, and not just parents of public school kids about how the Federal gov't plans to eliminate parental consent to classify their children as "with disability" (special needs) for the purpose of accessing funds for "providers" (Medicaid, S-CHIP).

SEL is the hot-topic in the "schooling" ecosystem lately; from the nation's largest teachers unions, to the Federal Government itself, people who claim to be "experts" on what our kids need to "be successful," in school and in life, insist it's the missing ingredient. But what IS SEL, or rather, what was it before it became a BRANDED pedagogy with dozens of programs and curricula to support it inside schools, both private and public? Hannah Frankman is back, and we'll talk about learning SEL without school! Hannah Frankman is the founder of rebelEducator. Hannah grew up homeschooled, skipped college to cut her teeth in the startup world, and has been living and breathing alternative education ever since. She’s a regular writer, speaker, and commentator on education innovation. Hannah is the former Program Manager of Praxis, a college alternative program, and a former homeschool teacher and tutor. She’s an advocate for school choice, educational innovation, self-directed learning, and unschooling.

This is part 2 of the discussion we started last week about how psychiatry is being weaponized, where we covered key changes to the DSM 5 (now DSM V) and how they are launching lawsuits against states that ban so-called "gender affirming care" for minors. In this show, we'll talk about how school counselors and teachers use screeners INSIDE SCHOOLS, often without parents present or even knowing about it, to diagnose kids with a wide range of "disorders." We will also talk about how the ASCA has made it its mission to use counseling for DEI and social justice, not to help individual children succeed.

Did you know the APA, a group of unelected Psychiatrists, based on recommendations of a whopping 19 of their members, revised its DSM-5 definitions of several mental illnesses last year, including "Gender Dysphoria?" Well they did, and you need to understand how the new definition not only *can* be used to usurp your rights as parents (and voters), but IS being used that way as we speak.

You may have noticed teachers equating laws against teach gender ed to minors, against school libraries being able to feature porn in school libraries, with Nazi policies leading up the the Holocaust. Dissident teachers do exist, however, along with parents, and they being called "book burners," and "Nazis." The irony is palpable, but the use of Holocaust victimology proceeds apace, and is used to defame teachers who try to speak out against the child-abuse that is gender-ed. Ray Shelton is one such dissident teacher. He stood up recently for his students, and their parents, and suffered the consequences. He was put on administrative leave, marched out of his classroom, and called a Nazi. He's here to talk to us about it!

Inspired by the loss of her 15 year-old son Nate to suicide in 2022, after he faced vicious attacks, harassment and threats of physical harm by a group of his classmates/teammates Chicago Latin School, Rose founded Buckets over Bullying to get parents and educators off the sidelines, to END cyberbullying for once and for all! Buckets Over Bullying is a Chicago-based non-profit initiative whose mission is to stop cyberbullying of children and teens through education, lawmaking and legal action. Our kids, parents, our schools and our laws across the country remain fragmented, and ill-equipped to address this crisis as things currently stand. What rules and law we do have in Illinois and other states may impose reporting and investigation requirements, but these rules and law can go unenforced or ignored all together with no accountability or deterrable programs or penalties for the cyberbullies, their enablers or the social media platforms that are spreading the hate that is killing our kids.

The Commoncore Diva is back to explain how the latest proposed new food standards for schools are going to make our kids (and us) even easier to control.

From Lynne's archives and related: From 2015, how the FFA (Future Farmers of America) had sold out to the Common Core State Standards: https://www.commoncorediva.com/2015/02/05/tech-thursday-a-ctso-near-you/ From 2016: School based 'family' cooking lessons: https://www.commoncorediva.com/2016/09/05/pot-stirring/ (Note: This one, also from 2016, featured NC's foray into 'child success'. As we know, under this educratic BS system, 'child success' gets into what they think, how they exercise, and what's eaten: https://www.commoncorediva.com/2016/06/06/blenders-ready/) From 2018's HR 2 (Omnibus Agricultural Act): https://www.commoncorediva.com/2018/12/14/educations-magic-beans/ From 2019 here, in NC, the alignment of food to the UN's SDGs: https://www.commoncorediva.com/2019/03/06/ncs-brain-freeze/ AND https://www.commoncorediva.com/2019/03/05/when-agenda-means-dirt/ From 2020, this article about fed spending showed the US Dept of Ag doing all kinds of things, especially with reforming food stamps: https://www.commoncorediva.com/2020/02/15/big-bucks-for-what-part-two/ From 2021, Lynne's interview on the Sons of Liberty about the communism in using food/labor: https://www.commoncorediva.com/aiovg_videos/2021-05-26-feds-attempt-to-make-good-little-communists-using-food-indoctrination/ *NOTE: if you don't want to watch the video, here's the main article Lynne wrote about it: https://www.commoncorediva.com/2021/05/24/using-food-for-educratic-alignment/ As you can guess, all this will also play into the regionalism needed to transform the US into a great UN member state as well as a control mechanism for food, water, etc. We need folks to look into their local plans for food, water (US Dept of Ag, EPA, etc). We need to understand that forcing govt food policies will not keep our nation healthy, but rather, weak, sick and under control.

Ooana is back, this time to talk with me about "Mean Girls." Archetype? Energy? Maladaptive coping skill? What are they really, and why do THEY seem to be, "everything, everywhere, all at once?"

Daughter of a Hungarian mother, and survivor of both Hitler and Stalin, whose father--a former nobleman--who died in Stalin's Romanian Gulag, otherwise known as the Pitesti Prison experiment (an experiment to prove that human beings were nothing more than reactive MEAT).

Parents: it's hard enough teaching character and values to our kids ourselves! We don't always manage our emotions perfectly, but we love our kids and are genuinely interested in their individual well being and future success, not some "collective goal," for the achievement of which they are a mere TOOL to be used! Now envision the teachers you've seen, not just in TikTok, but in your own school--the ones you're more than a little afraid of, because they might retaliate against your kid (or you)? Think of their bosses, the administrators, and how carefully you write the emails you sent to them when you have a question or a complaint… Or maybe you're too afraid to ride at all because you don't wanna rock the boat. Deep down in your gut, you know they are the mean girls even the men amongst them are behaving like mean girls who condescend and pretend to be nice and caring, until you press the issue, at which time they turn cold, or vaguely threatening. Are these the people you want teaching your kids "empathy" and compassion?!

Cherry Hill Parent Rick Short asked me to analyze his district's dress code, and some comments recently made by the Superintendent, Joe Meloche about it, so here we are, doing just that. The dress code is not a cause of anything, it's a symptom of poor leadership, which has far-reaching consequences, well beyond the lives of these students, even beyond the state of New Jersey. In this video, I ask parents to put themselves in their children's shoes, and to consider what it is they're paying for with their high taxes. Is it academic excellence? How about sound leadership from the adults in charge of their kids so they can even HOPE to achieve academic excellence? If so, Cherry Hill parents are in for a rude awakening: they're getting NEITHER. Towards the end of this video, I explain what I think Joe Meloche embodies, using this article, which I hope my audience will read and share widely. My guess is, your own district has similar administrators, similarly failing to lead, using woke policies like this ambiguous dress codes just like the one in Cherry Hill. https://andrewpgsweeny.medium.com/idiot-compassion-and-the-devouring-mother-3dbe2b1dc688 Support my work: Join my website forum: https://thereasonwelearn.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thereasonwelearn SubscribeStar: https://www.subscribestar.com/the-reason-we-learn Subscribe to my Substack: https://thereasonwelearn.substack.comPurchase TRWL Merch:https://linktr.ee/trwl Purchase books from Heroes of Liberty with my referral link and get 10% off! https://heroesofliberty.com/?ref=Zqpq...

"Wellness" doesn't seem to mean what we thought, does it? It seems to be a code word for "That state of being when you're well thought of by the other asylum inmates," but n other words: when you're demonstrably sick, and proud of it. You may not agree with me about pro-activity in locating and treating mental illness, but you're gonna need to persuade me that one-size-fits-all "openness" and sharing serves the needs of even most, never mind all kids (as opposed to their neurosis-projecting teachers and administrators).

What if I told you that Drag Queen Story Hour has nothing to with Drag, LGBTQ has nothing to do with individual autonomy and human rights, and the dancing nurses have nothing to do with nursing or dance? And what if I told you that the arts have always been instrumental in ushering in, but also defeating totalitarianism? Then what if I told you that SEL is another delivery system for a philosophy expressed through an art-form developed under Stalin called SocRealism, AND that this philosophy was directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of millions of men, women and children? I will be joined for this dispatch by my special guest, Ooana Trien, a graduate of Tish school of the arts with a concentration in experimental and classical theater.
