Parents Beware Of The New Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Fad

quoting Chester E. Finn Jr.via Coronado Eagle & Journal
Thursday, December 2, 2021

First, there was the debate about Critical Race Theory (CRT) and whether or not CRT existed in schools. As CRT was exposed to have negative baggage associated with it, educators pushing it avoided CRT and in favor of saying “equity is good,” let us try to market and sell equity. Now Coronado Unified School District (CUSD) has succumbed to yet another non-academic fad called Social Emotional Learning (SEL). Parents are just waking up to SEL.

The Best Response To Russia’s Threats Is A Closer Relationship With Ukraine

by Michael McFaulvia The Washington Post
Wednesday, December 1, 2021

Russian President Vladimir Putin has assembled a massive Russian military force on Ukraine’s border. We don’t know Putin’s ultimate plans; he remains his usual unpredictable self. But his recent threatening statements about Ukraine — including a claim that Ukrainians and Russians are actually one nation — have rattled leaders in Kyiv, Brussels and Washington. Since 1939, the specter of an all-out conventional war in Europe between two major militaries has never been greater.

Inflation Speculation

by John H. Cochranevia The Grumpy Economist
Wednesday, December 1, 2021

I'm working madly to finish The Fiscal Theory of the Price Level. This is a draft of Chapter 21, on how to think about today's emerging inflation and what lies ahead, through the lens of fiscal theory. (Also available as pdf). I post it here as it may be interesting, but also to solicit input on a very speculative chapter. Help me not to say silly things, in a book that hopefully will last longer than a blog post!

Despite $31 Billion Surplus, California Will Likely Face Fiscal Crisis Sooner Rather Than Later

by Lee Ohanianvia California on Your Mind
Wednesday, December 1, 2021

California’s $31 billion budget surplus has Gov. Gavin Newsom crowing about California’s economic strength and his guidance of the economy. But this surplus comes from a tiny group of taxpayers.
