The culture of SEL can be very harmful.  I know many families with children with disabilities who were targeted by their school and blamed for their child's struggles rather than working with families.  Some were reported for non-issues to children's services.  Others have children who were retaliated against for the family's attempt to fix problems.

too many choices for kids dilute the foundational pieces of education.  There is emphasis on stem, etc. Less emphasis on spelling, grammar, phonetics, multiplication that undergird educational progress.  Lack of teaching cursive writing (proven to stimulate parts of the brain that no other skill does).  Back to the basics!  Especially reading in upper levels.  If you can't read, you can't learn.
