"Listening. Sharing. Following directions. Making friends. Managing big emotions. Planning for the future," (Kamenetz, 2014). These key skills should not be ending with a preschool graduation. These lifelong skills need to be taught throughout all of a student's educational career. Learning how to be good citizens can be a precursor to success in later years. There are programs currently being implemented in all levels, such as, "Tools for Getting Along in Elementary School...and Brainology in Middle School,...as well as Responsive Classroom which changes how teachers and administrators do discipline" according to Kamenetz. What we need to remember is that throughout all of education we need to build problem solving skills with each other and not create abstract problems, but everyday perplexes and have students work together to solve with common sense.
