I don't understand why they want to make this "National School Psychology Week" a thing. It seems like a waste of time and resources. Why do we need a whole week dedicated to school psychology? Can't they just do their job without all this extra recognition?

I think this bill is cool and all, but who really benefits from this "National School Psychology Week" thing? Like, is it just for show or does it actually make a difference in schools? #curious
