School communities now face unprecedented challenges and  parents  are  being  marginalized  along  with  the most  vulnerable  students  who  are  more  lost,  and   more   prone  to  preventable  chronic  illnesses  than  ever.  School  Stories  explores  through  personal  accounts how  questionable Covid responses  and  mandatory  lockdowns  unmasked  and  accelerated  preexisting  academic  and  social emotional issues,  medical  diagnosis  and  interventions,  and  the  rise  of  Anxiety  and  mental illnesses.  Are  school  unions  and  administrations  obfuscating common outcomes  of  distress,  diet  and learning issues?  Whats  behind the  rapid  onset  of  Anxiety, ADHD, gender dysphoria  and other "medical conditions"? are these "deficits" biological  and  inherited?  or mislabeled and acquired? what  is  behind  the  meteoric rise of self  diagnosis ? The  trend  of  identifying  with mental illnesses? gender  dysphoria?  If  not  now  when  is  it  time  to  look  into  the  vaccines  and  prescription medications sold to parents of school age children  as  safe  and  effective .  Lets  find  out if  there  is  science  justifying  the  most common medical  conditions among school age children including  the  biggest  killers  diabetes  and  obesity  ? are they "co-morbidities" ?  School stories finds out from  parents  and key stake holders how long term use of drugs affects not only the health of our youth but also their development, relationships, and well being.  Identifying struggles of students and their parents and teacher,  school  stories   gives voice  to  advocates  speaking  out  for school communities to consider professional development and tutor support as well as SEL and PE. Courageous  educators  explain  how  evidence based interventions and comprehensive treatments build resiliency, confidence  and executive functions  skills  that pills don't.  It is time for Parents and Teachers to learn to engage students, develop emotional intelligence, and boost the building of skills before failing with pills. Its time for us to make it our moral responsibility to uplift and improve the Education and lives of our teachers and our most vulnerable, marginalized, and stigmatized students.
