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."

    If there's anything good about it, it's that they've declared for evil. We don't have to guess or waste time and energy offering them quarter.

    Apropos of nothing in particular, you might find this interview of Steve Bannon [ijr.com] illuminating. One particular quote stood out for me:

    Darkness is good. Dick Cheney. Darth Vader. Satan. That's power. It only helps us when they get it wrong. When they're blind to who we are and what we're doing.

    Hmmm, I just wonder what Dick Cheney thinks of his being elevated to the Triumvirate of Evil. Or maybe he thinks of those other two guys as mere dilettantes?

    Aw, Phoenix doesn't strike me as a bad sort (at least not as bad as others), but maybe forgets that until people are loaded up on the cattle cars, these are just words; ideas to be batted back and forth with no actual harm done to anyone.

    And if he takes a step back, VLM's ideas aren't much different than what has been proposed for the DREAM Act, and national service service for citizenship has been around since forever.

    As VLM puts it, these aren't new ideas. And comparisons to the Holocaust don't make for a convincing counter-argument.
