Schools Shouldn't Play Doctor

This piece from the Libertarian-leaning Cato Institute is well worth reading. The institute's politics shows through in their support of school choice and their tendencies to blame teachers who are put in a difficult situation, but in the end their analysis remains sound.
While the President's intentions seem well placed, underfunded schools have a hard enough time balancing all of the tasks that they have already been given. Adding to that list will only serve to create more conflicts of interest between supporting and individual student's mental health and allowing the rest of the class learn.
