"First off, the idea of shifting mental healthcare from reactive to preventive sounds great on paper. Who doesn’t want to stop problems before they spiral? But let’s be real: Illinois schools are already dropping the ball on the basics. According to Wirepoints, only 39 percent of students—1.1 million kids—read at grade level. Math scores are even worse. If schools can’t teach kids to read and write properly, why should we trust them to play therapist?"
This just another bottomless pit of expense, non performance and no results. It is another way of the democratic machine to shovel money into “education” in the name of healthcare. Every program and budget is over, they are spending on credit and they continue to pour money into education. Makes no sense.

Public schools are failing students with education. So much so that the state has to lower requirements for proficiency. JB shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near student mental health evaluations.

Brooks is the real deal. I wish I had the money to support him the way he deserves.
I wish he would run for the Senate or Governor, like you said Brooks is the real deal.

Mr. AI Google has this to say:
Provider-induced demand, also known as supplier-induced demand, is a concept in healthcare economics where healthcare providers, particularly physicians, influence patients’ demand for services, potentially leading to unnecessary or excessive utilization of healthcare resources. This occurs due to information asymmetry, where providers possess more knowledge about medical needs and treatment options than patients, and can use this knowledge to their advantage.
I say: Follow the money. Why is the legislature lavishing money on mental health providers during the last two sessions? Cui bono?

Great article. I am sure in a child’s day they can go through all the emotions and if you catch that emotion during a test what are you really getting?

I heard it was Merrick Garland’s son in law’s company that is going to provide the testing for the children.
