For once, try using your own thoughts.  I can take this seriously.

Ok, I have unlocked this thread again. I  think the discussion should continue so that participants can clarify the points they are making. My only caution is to remain clear of turning it into a political discussion. Discussing how we raise children in families or as a society can easily be done without making it political.

"Sense of belonging" is a term used to encourage groupthink.  Being pushed onto the population at large at our jobs and our schools.

It is merging family, corporate life, school, and politics.  All into one entity. 

Steering completely clear of politics encourages the "avoid a cult by joining this cult" argument here.

"Sense of belonging" is a term that is ultimately part of a State Religion.

"Belonging" is a phrase being forced on the population.  It comes through our jobs and our schools.

There's a story about the way east and way west on this website that sounds similar.

I can go on the State's website and read about.  Because I am curious, contrary to your claim.

You can make faces.  

You chose a politically charged phrase in the opening post.

You're promoting a cult.

Please just stop.

Ethnocentricy was brought up which typically means shame tactics are being employed to shut down critical thinking.

Just now, Rocky said:

Belonging is an emotional, not (as I included it on this thread) a political concept.

Then you lack awareness.  It's all over the place.

For future reference, "fig leaves" would be symbolism for being vulnerable to shame tactics.

Ethnocentricity is different than tribalism in that it also involves a sense of superiority.

Resistance of splitting up families is ethnocentric?

I'm just not sure how ethnocentric has been worked in. 

Just now, Rocky said:

Again, brazenly political.

You brought up belonging. 

The State as a cult should be a concern on everyone's mind, at least anyone who has heard of the 20th century.

I do not believe the State should build a child's sense of self, usurp the parenting role, or consider itself family of the children.

I think emotional intelligence was shown to be bunk.  Just a person with a strong vocabulary.

Coleman was it?

Well I'm warning the term "sense of belonging/belonging" could easily inspire many to follow the mob into the hands of something worse than VPW.  

In fact the term "family" is malleable.

Probably requires defining.

In all seriousness, if "sense of belonging" at one time was an innocuous term, it is indeed used by companies and governments.

In this thread you used it for family.

If anything is disturbing, it's the facts.

"Belonging" is a corporate buzzword used for bolstering their CEI.

This term I find threatening to children.

To frame the violation of the marriage relationship issue as such is to consign the women in question to being considered chattel.

 

"Wife swapping" would imply there is a husband that will be held responsible for this behavior.  She is legally and socially protected.

"Husband swapping" obviously sounds anemic.  She's admitting she desires this and may be considered by some to be responsible for her own decision.

"Partner Swapping" why bother knowing each other's name?  Nobody is going to be around for the pregnancy.

Quote

We believe it is most beneficial to integrate SEL throughout the school’s academic curricula and culture, across the broader contexts of schoolwide practices and policies, and through ongoing collaboration with families and community organizations. These coordinated efforts should foster youth voice, agency, and engagement; establish supportive classroom and school climates and approaches to discipline; enhance adult SEL competence; and establish authentic family and community partnerships.

In case it wasn't obvious.  This doesn't stop at the school, the parents get roped in via their kids.  The school is the authority.  The intent is to bleed out into the community . . . it will consume time and resources of parents who are expected to participate.

you know, "witnessing" and "undersheparding"

"mindfulness" = speaking in tongues

"EQ" = "spiritual discernment"

"CASEL Wheel" = "the great principle"

The ears of Americans have become so brittle. No worries. Big Brother has a fix for that.

 

I'm reminded of works by Burgess, Huxley and Orwell.

. . . Just building a nationwide "circle of trust" . . .

Imagine a first grader can't sit still after 4-5 hours sitting in a brick building.  Clearly must be mentally ill, should be diagnosed by non-professionals reading The State's chart, and should carry that label the rest of their lives.  Right?

I remember as a teen sitting with the TWIG leader so a list of devil spirit possessions could be generated.  Very productive meeting as long as the language isn't tested against reality.

Gross. 
 

It is probably a way for them to know how (H-O-W) to identify kids who need to renew their minds. And more guilt. And shame.

Children are completely incomplete until they are “taught.”

This is a class on how. 
 

H

 

O

 

W

Children have no mental defense.

Remember wrist bands and name tags of various colors?

Well maybe some kid hasn't received enough training on various cultural awarenesses.  Perhaps then they shouldn't be allowed to throw birthday parties, since they may inadvertently offend someone who was invited.

How will you learn unless you are taught?

Who will be your teacher?

CASEL will be, that’s who. Be grateful. Stop your murmuring. Don’t do it… doooon’t do it!

Absorb. Retain. Release. 

Did I mention all this quackery mental health by non-professionals on kids gets uploaded to a database?  What harm could come from the profiling children with mumbo jumbo terminology?

Abracadabra… accuracy!

Hey! I didn’t write the book…  

But they're promising a brighter future for all the children!  To end the school to prison pipeline!  

A release from your prison!  Nobody's ever offered that!

To my point with the broad survey of literature. This is what it means to have a liberal education in the classic sense of that term.

Right.  SEL shows up, touching everything with endless new jargon and vacuous explanations that in my experience, ultimately defer to authority.

This is about Virginia and collectivism

but but but .  . .

so maybe "critical" is like "spiritual" in Wayworld

Because adjectives redefine nouns, right?
