Parental Perspectives on Affective Education- Should It Be Part of the School Curriculum?
The debate on who should offer effective education to children remains contentious. Some feel that it should be included in school curriculums, while some feel that the family should be responsible for offering this kind of education. I did a survey to try to get some perspective on this issue. I interviewed Ann S., a mother of one child, who is in kindergarten. Ann outrightly said that effective education should be included in the school curriculum. She had several reasons for her stand.
First, Ann noted that incorporating effective education in the school curriculum will foster accessibility by all children regardless of their backgrounds. According to her, students come from diverse backgrounds, with some hailing from families that have no knowledge or resources to facilitate this type of education (Mckenzie, 2019). By offering it in schools, every child can benefit, thus fostering equity. Furthermore, she felt that modern-day parents are so preoccupied with making ends meet and feeding their families, and hence, they have limited time with their children. Offering effective education in schools can benefit students from such families.
Additionally, Ann highlighted the holistic benefits of affective education, stressing its importance for fostering healthier relationships, self-awareness, and resilience among students. She was of the view that schools, compared to homes, provide the best environment conducive for effective education to take place. In school, many students meet, thus facilitating effective education to occur. This goes a long way in helping students who might be the only children in their families since they can interact with their peers and acquire useful social skills.
Lastly, Ann noted that it is teachers who spend most of the productive hours with children. By the time they go home from school, children are usually tired, and so are their parents. She noted that based on this fact, it is only the school that can offer meaningful effective education. Her argument aligns with the observations of Kostelnik (2019), who noted that since children spend major amounts of time in extrafamilial settings and are enrolling earlier than before, learning environments should offer effective development.
