Level of teachers’ knowledge about children’s nervous system health

  1. How educated/knowledgeable are teachers about the nervous system health and well-being of children/students?
  2. What percentage of actions or behaviours from teachers are detrimental to children’s well-being as supported by proven, realiable scientific data?
  3. What percentage of actions and experiences that come as part of the school system are detrimental to children’s well-being as supported by proven, reliable scientific knowledge?
  4. How does (1), (2) and (3) compare across continents and regions?
    1. How can the observations from the comparisons be placed in an intersectional, holistic perspective that takes into account the variations in the history and lineage of the people in those different regions?
  5. If there are high percentages of the above, what are the causes of that situation? Why isn’t science about children’s well-being – their nervous system health, their brain development needs, emotional attunement needs – not part of teacher training, curriculum design and testing methods?
  6. If the training and testing methods are found to be non-humanitarian and exploitative, will the government and private labor market disavow use of such elements as grounds for selection for employment and rewards? (Like how some raw materials from certain regions/nations are banned on grounds of unjust labor policies at the origin of the value chain.)
  7. Will there be an acceptable quantity of exposure to exploitation/unhealthy systems? Who decides this amount? Is the amount documented? Will efforts be made to the improvement of this metric? If such a metric can be established scientifically, can it start featuring in development planning, economic planning and policies?
  8. What’s the monetary value of improving teachers’ knowledge of children’s nervous system health by 5%, 10%, 50%?
  9. How might national and continental economies change in response to this?
  10. Will this improve social justice and well-being metrics? By how much?
  11. Is this one of the many areas where there are long-proven scientific data left unused or un-absorbed into policies? Why is that? Can we do that now?
  12. Can a new approach towards Journalism or a new strand of journalism – from an incidental-news journalism to Systems Journalism aid the progress of human society to justice, peace, health, joy?
  13. What would a society experiencing justice, peace, health and joy “do” with their lives?
