RE: Etiquette and character management should be encouraged in schools... (Feedback Request).
My wife is a school social worker in an elementary school and she goes into every classroom once a week to cover character education and social/emotional topics with the students. Our district has placed a huge focus on the social and emotional well being of the students because many of them do not get that at home. They need to learn coping mechanisms to deal with the horrible situations that some of them go back to each night.
Definitely true, mosts kids go through a lot yet there seem to be nobody to help out. I think the school is the best place for kids to learn the proper etiquette, and temper management, because most parents do not have or create the time for their kids all in the name of caterin. Most parents here in Africa belives the best way to bring up their kids is by providing food and shelter for them.
Thanks to you and your wife for trying to set things right.
I understand that my reply is coming 11 months after, my apologies.
