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

In my opinion, schools are made for teaching, and where we’ve got to learn to manage our emotions, it’s at home.
Obviously, at school, we’ve got to learn, but we’ve got to learn languages, mathematics or history, and where we’ve got to be taught it’s at home.

Maybe some irresponsible parents, will disagree with me, they’ll say that the children have got to be educated at school, or maybe, some parents, will say that their son or sons are perfect and they don’t need teaching to learn how to manage his their emotions, but I think, that at home, parents’ work is too important. They’ve got to make us something with future, they’ve got to teach us as the people that we are and explain us how to manage our emotions.

For example, anciently, if you were punished by a teacher, when you arrived at home, you were punished another time by your parents. And nowadays, it’s totally different, if in the school a teacher punishes you, your parents will defend you and, in some cases, they’ll go to the school and they’ll argue with the teacher because “His son is a good boy, it couldn’t be that he made this!”

In conclusion, I think that at school teaching, and at home educating. And think at it, because we can consider us fortunate people for the parents we’ve got.
