“Sentimental education” in school could be a way to educate young people about relational and emotional dynamics. However, the formal teaching of these skills could be complex and subject to different interpretations.
Relational and emotional dynamics are often complex and subjective and vary significantly from person to person. Teaching these skills would require a sensitive approach, respecting the diversity of experiences and perspectives.
Although sentimental education is not traditionally included in formal school curricula, informal learning of these skills can still occur through life experiences, open discussions within families or with friends, and sex and relationship education programs.
Do you have a specific opinion on sentimetall education in school?

I do not believe that there are many teachers prepared to discuss sentimental education.
A sentimental education is an education of the heart. It teaches us how to lose. It is key to understanding who we are and who we can become. It should be an important part of teaching, but we need good teachers.

It's true that discussing sentimental education can be a personal topic, and not all teachers may feel adequately prepared for such discussions. Sentimental education indeed involves understanding emotions, dealing with loss, and shaping one's identity and personal growth.
Good teachers play a crucial role in creating a safe and supportive environment for these conversations. They should be equipped to navigate the emotional aspects of students' experiences, offering guidance and helping them develop emotional intelligence.

@RRossi - I remember some very good teachers I had through the years I studied, but not all teachers were good and well prepared enough. I took care of my niece during some years when she was a student and I had the feeling that her teachers were not very good.

@LadyDuck It's not uncommon for people to have mixed experiences with teachers throughout their education. Great teachers can have a profound impact on students, providing inspiration and guidance. However, not all teachers may be equally prepared or effective in conveying the necessary information.

You raised a crucial point. Romance education is truly complex and much of it comes from lived experiences and interactions with various people in our lives. It involves learning from different relationships, both positive and challenging, and gaining insight into our own emotions and those of others.
While formal education can provide some guidance, the richness of emotional education often comes from the diverse interactions we have throughout our lives. It is an ongoing process of self-discovery and understanding the complexities of human emotions.
But it should also be taken into account that this process is elaborated, especially when you are a child or adolescent, by the positive and/or negative examples you have in your family.
