A new federal report recommends that schools emphasize building children's "self-regulation" skills in order to increase opportunities for student success in a number of areas. The recommendation is one of several in the report, the fourth in a series on self-regulation research and practice from the Administration for Children and Families at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
Researchers have zeroed in on the importance of self-regulation skills, which allow children to manage their thoughts and feelings, control impulses, and problem-solve.
"Self-regulation affects wellbeing across the lifespan, from mental health and emotional wellbeing to academic achievement, physical health, and socioeconomic success," said Desiree Murray, associate director of research at the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute and lead author of the report. "Unfortunately, prolonged or pronounced stress and adversity, including poverty and trauma, can delay children's self-regulation development."

Darn lack of editing, missed my forth argument for why the phrasing is absolutely perfect. I like alt-history and hard sci fi and thought experiments and last time people were rounded up into work camps "Arbeit macht frei" was like a sarcastic joke cause they got ovened. But what if they didn't and they got released unharmed in four years... would people still be complaining about war crimes? So its an interesting "someone should write a fictional-ish book" what if the final solution to illegals was to round them up into work camps with "Arbeit macht frei" written over the door and we actually literally did it, and they're free naturalized citizens if and only if they work for four years... Yeah may suck as a fictional book but its something to think about as a thought experiment.
Remember if you're rich enough every country in the world sells citizenship including the USA, costs I believe $500K in the USA, cheaper elsewhere. Conceptually this "work makes you free" work camp is paying the illegals $125K/yr and then collecting their entire tax free back pay after four years and issuing naturalization papers. $125K for some shovel work with benes and required free english classes seems a pretty fair deal to me, its not like we're paying prison labor wages here.
Prison labor wages are a whole nother travesty.
