if i had time for every crusade that comes to my mind, one would be to add a question to the school health certificate about head trauma. concussions, seizures, etc.
i discussed this w some electeds who agreed it was a great idea, and not at all a heavy lift.

even tho we dont really have good treatment for that, putting a finger on those kids early on could at least lead to some behavioral and therapeutic treatments so they arent alone in dealing w the warping of their personalities.
instead they end up getting caught up in a punitive cycle that only makes it worse.

and btw, the aca would have had a major impact on the ability to treat these kids.
