I recently went through my primary school report cards and saw that I got a “F” for emotional intelligence in Year 5. I’m not disputing that at all - I had an emotionally neglectful upbringing and felt pretty numb all my youth. This definitely showed in my behaviour.
The thing is, I was always obsessed with my grades. My home life sucked but I was always good at school, and it’s probably the only thing that gave me joy or excitement. This grade stung at the time but I imagine I just ignored it, thinking that the rest of the marks (being all A’s) balanced it out. My mum never read my report cards either, saying that they were just the same every year.
As an adult, I have a lot of weird feelings about it. Maybe I’m ashamed of my behaviour. Maybe I’m frustrated because I always “got” things in the classroom, and this is something I just didn’t “get”. I’m not really sure quite yet.
How can EQ be taught/addressed/assessed in 10 year olds? Do teachers sneak in EQ lessons during class?? What do they expect as an outcome when it’s written in a report card???
