Unfortunately this is starting to sound like mandatory car insurance ($$$$), mandatory emissions verification ($$$), mandatory health insurance ($$$$$), mandatory home owners insurance ($$$$), mandatory rental insurance ($$$$)……

If it’s required by the state it will probably spin off a few horrible inadvertent trainwrecks, and possibly some intentional abuse, but I do wish it could evolve into a more culturally accepted voluntary norm like six month dental checkups. Surely our mental health is at least as important as our dental health.

I think it would be better to have a mental hygiene type of class that would explore strategies for effective living. Any students that were identified as needing help could then be referred.

There are many children who will exhibit negative tendencies that will show up on the rulers radar list. I'm not sure that this is a good idea. I think the ones who would or will become dangerous will know how to answer the questions positively.

I should think this is a good idea, but I am really apprehensive about it for some reason. I hope others chime in.
