Beyond Babysitting: Prioritizing Human Development in our Schools
by Jennifer D. Klein and Kapono Ciotti
We had high hopes of a fresh start as we came out of the pandemic into the 2021-2022 school year. As people emerged from their isolation and schools restarted in-person learning, an air of hope filled school halls. Yet, there was a palpable weight to the 2022-23 school year–a fatigue and lingering worry that got worse, not better, with time, and which continues to linger well into 2024.
Education is at a crossroads yet again. But this time it’s not a virus causing the crisis. We are being asked to make a conscious choice about what the purpose of school should be–not for generations to come, but for today, for students in schools right now.
