"Self Regulation": Snake Oil Early Education Privatization Policy

Every so often my propaganda senses start to tingle but this time there was a severe, writhing of an agonal angst.

"Self-regulation oil, apply liberally or just be conservative
with it so you will never be audited or evaluated!"

What in the name of pedagogy is this Medicaid billable chicanery?

Federal report recommends teaching self-regulation in schools

This excerpt is taken directly from the article, which does not even cite its source of the federal report on "self-regulation":

"Self-regulation affects well being across the lifespan, from mental health and emotional well being 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."

To begin, there are two main premises for which I would like to pull out and castigate.with its own conclusion.

The article clearly states that it knows that children in poverty have a challenge surviving in socioeconomic status.

But, instead of providing immediate relief in the form of quality and affordable living conditions, food, and standard of life, this group of "The Educated Ones" stuck their hand deep, up their arse and pulled out this made up, crap, to add on another layer of services to bill the Social Security Trust Fund.

I know the stench of privatization, well, because it has no regulation.

The Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute is hooked up with the Clinton Global Initiative through Too Small To Fail, the biggest money hustle called social investing.

Privatization began in child welfare because no one cares about the well-being of the child, unless there is a revenue maximization component, (on a side note, non profits cannot say they are making profits) for contract or a fundraising opportunity.

The term "self-regulation", parallel to the term "deregulation" is found quite often in child welfare reporting of the child placing agencies, but is better known as the honor system as one never questions the work of God, or a foundation, 501(c) operation.

This is just a fancy way of saying fraud.

The next issue is that the article makes reference to research of the U.S. DHHS which cites more jacked-leg research done in the late 1990s to mid-2000s.

PROCEEDINGS FROM A WORKING MEETING ON SCHOOL READINESS RESEARCH: GUIDING THE SYNTHESIS OF EARLY CHILDHOOD RESEARCH. SELF-REGULATION: HOW CHILDREN HANDLE THEIR EMOTIONS, ATTENTION, AND BEHAVIOR IN CLASSROOM CONTEXTS

These arcane citations are almost as bad as the ones used in the Paul Ryan Budget, which cites research from the 1960s.

Seriously.

So, instead of providing direct relief to a population of individuals who have suffered under a generational shift to privatizing society to access the Social Security Trust Fund, devoid of any oversight or repercussions of false claims or legitimacy of services, a group of folks over there at the revolving door of the Administration on Children and Families came up with some more made up snake oil theories to peddle to the public.

The entire goal, which is completely devoid of any political affiliation, as both sides of the aisle are striving for the same, profitable outcome, is to dismantle public education and sell it off to the highest bidder with the best plan of funding campaigns.

Privatization point proven with another creative Snyder tax policy in Michigan:

Snyder abruptly ends push for $425M school aid shift

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder on Thursday evening abruptly dropped his lame-duck push to pay a portion of income tax refunds out of the School Aid Fund, backing off a plan that had infuriated K-12 advocates because of a potential $425 million shift in dedicated education funding.
