- School and Emotions

- Should Schools be responsible for teaching students how to manage their emotions?

This is an important question or subject that is, in the last years, in mouth of everybody. It worries all the educative community, so parents, pupils, teachers and other education employees, are discussing a lot about it.

From my point of view is important that schools teach students in their emotions, because, in some cases, parents, that are the people who have to do it, didn’t respond at their obligations. I’m not only talking about irresponsible parents, that are however bad at this point too, I’m talking about too responsible parents who think that it’s only important for their children to have good school marks, so they only worry about their studies, but not other basic aspects on their education.

Because of that, I think that is important to teach emotional qualities in schools. In my opinion, the best age to teach it is in Primary School, where the children are really influenced by their parents. If their parents weren’t a good influence, as in some cases happens, school specialists would help them a lot. If their parents were a good influence, as happens in the majority of the cases, school would reforce family’s action, giving the child, in all of the two cases, the opportunity to grow up well emotionally and cultural. This growing up will help a lot those children that, in the future, will be adult persons, to face the life difficulties.

Shortly, teaching children in emotional qualities is an assurance for the society of the future.
