Have America’s Classrooms Become Profit Centers for the Mental Health Industry? | Real Talk

Best advice I’ve been given as an adolescent: 1. My mom - You cannot control what others say and do, but you can control how you react to it. 2. My dad - You don’t ever use the words “I can’t”. You fall down, you get back up, dust yourself off and push forward. Only you can hold yourself back. 3. My grandma - God is good all the time, even when life isn’t. 4. My grandpa - Facts don’t care about your feelings. You adapt to survive; sink or swim. It’s your choice. 5. All of them - I will not always like you, but I will always love you.

I wish someone would do a study on the teachers and administrators. Even conservative ones. In my experience, these trainings the teachers are forced to endure are also changing their brains and giving them this savior complex. The teachers (especially in low income areas) feel like every kid isn't loved and they have to "save" them with love. I feel like these low income teachers have it the worst and are more brainwashed into thinking all of this stuff.

Not "celebrating" they are conditioning them.

I read her book Irreversible Damage and it’s a really good book. I always refer people to read it

This issue was warned about in the 90s. I remember reading an article that had the line "if Tom Sawyer was alive today he would be put on meds". That hit me so hard. My classmates were being therapized into losing childhood by academics who invent problems to solve. Sadly, I see no sign of this abating.

2:30 in I get a commercial for real therapy.

Thank you ladies

This video contains so much good information

10 minutes between 2 sponsered commercials just to watch it again. They dont want people seeing this.... hit home on so many levels.

Important issue

Yes

When anyone tries to interpose themselves between parent and child, the sensitive smell sulphur. What sort of person says, " Don't tell your parents, let this be our little secret"?

Excellent interview. Thank you both for speaking so boldly and clearly.

Let's go deeper. All children have the right to know who their birth parents are and their heritage. We need to know what our people went through to get us where we are.

Was the pathologising of childhood behaviours not kind of inevitable when we all decided we didn't like all those old horrible ideas like "sin", or "being naughty", or "discipline"? We let ourselves off the hook with alcoholism and fornication as adults, privileging personal gratification over all other considerations. In removing "blame" we infantilised everyone - kind of hard to train children to exercise agency if children are now taught agency doesn't exist and that that they are no more than the helpless, innocent playthings of powerful societal and historical forces.

ADHD meds given out by teachers???😮

PRAGERU!!!!!

This is a life changing interview. It can change one’s perspective on victim mentality and how challenges are meant to make us stronger

Protect children. Parents should have ultimate say on who educates children. This is failure to protect children. Tax breaks and equal materials for home schooling. DEFUND DEPT OF EDUCATION
