问题     It would seem that "teaching" emotional intelligence challenges all the basic beliefs of the current paradigm (范例) of school-based learning. Not to mention widely extending the remit (职权范围) of school in terms of content and form, in particular modifying the relationship between life and school. Many teachers and parents alike might well insist that such learning is not a question for schools, but rather the responsibility of parents. But the family is no longer the ideal place for it. In the Western world, the majority of families have shrunk from an extended community to its strict minimum, and much less time is spent in the family than in school. What’s more, parents are not always in a position to cope with such emotional skills.
    Scientific research, in particular on how the brain works, indicates that the formation of emotional skills is much easier in the "formative" years from birth to the later teens. Looking at existing structures, school is the major activity in that age group. However, emotions rarely have a place in schools. Beyond infant school and early primary school, almost all efforts are concentrated on cognitive (认知) skills. What’s more, there is little or nothing in the standard training of teachers that prepares them for such a task. Yet there is no subject where the quality and ability of teachers would be more crucial.
    Introducing emotions in schools would be a radical change! Yet schools don’t change so readily. Those well-meaning people who have tried to introduce innovations in schools have come up against considerable resistance from teachers, students and parents alike. Yet without their active participation, no such far-reaching change is possible.
    One possible solution would be to start by introducing them in the spaces around school. During the breaks, for example, Daniel Goleman describes how appointed pupil mediators (调停者), once all involved, know the rules of the game and resolve conflicts in the playground. A "school for emotions" could be a local, community-based activity in connection with other activities like parent-teacher associations, artistic expression groups and clubs.
