Education

So here's an excellent interview with a licensed clinician about anger issues that deals with teachers and anti-anger modeling and a proposal for a curriculum that includes EQ elements. Anger Management for Men, a Talk With Aaron Karmin - The Good Men Project

I have to be honest and say that most anti-bullying components I have seen in schools do not address the frustration from which anger and then violence/bullying stem. If I had time I would try to work on an anti-anger curriculum - has anyone seen anything like this anywhere?

I'm thinking that school bullies are dealing with issues of emotional pain and frustration that "blossom" into violent behavior against hapless and harmless victims.

Shouldn't we be teaching kids how to handle their emotions in school as well? Shouldn't teachers be taught how to handle their emotions? The last time I worked at a relatively large public school in a big American city, I would regularly hear teachers yelling at students while walking down the hallway and it made me cringe.

I just think we have to do something about anger and violence from anger in our society and perhaps we are not trying hard enough in our schools.
