It's too bad not all parents do that. I suspect it's kind of hard to teach those skills to 25 - 30 students at once. I wish I had a nickel for every time one of my students complained that someone was "staring" at them. And a buck for every day I have to deal with girl drama after lunch recess.

I couldn't get parents to come on a free field trip to the Exploratorium, so having on them work on their children's emotional well being isn't likely happen. "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
