Pennsylvania district considers bringing 'feelings' into math curriculum as some community members balk
Fox News
Littlestown Area School District in Pennsylvania proposed an elementary math curriculum that could integrate social-emotional learning into its curriculum.
"This board needs to decide if they want to make social and emotional learning a part of our math curriculum. I do not believe it belongs in the math classes," said board member Jeanne Ewen at a board meeting on February 13. Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
"Some of the questions inside the math workbook ask, ‘Are you understanding how other people feel?’ What does this have to do with teaching math?" Joshua focuses on politics, education policy ranging from the local to the federal level, and the parental uprising in education.
