The most common question that's been raised is how emotional intelligence is defined. The best way I can answer that is to provide a link to the blog where I spotted this. http://www.writing.com/main/books/entry_id/847502 If you're not able to access the link, here's the definition the blogger provided:

"I define emotional intelligence as being aware of one’s own emotions and being in control of them when it comes to one’s actions. Psychologists take this definition a step further. They say, emotional intelligence is the term that describes how well individuals can manage their own emotions and react to the emotions of others. I say if one is aware of oneself and is in full control, surely they can relate to other people’s emotions through analogy."

The blogger goes on to describe tools she would use (e.g. journals, discussions, etc.). What she does not mention is how she would assess a student's progress, which is probably what bothers me the most. Creating a curriculum is one task, but measuring its effectiveness is another matter. That to me is the part that bothers me the most. Without some sort of way to track a student's process, how do you know if they really understand what's going on? Also, is there content in the journal that shows a student possibly developing an antisocial personality (which will need someone with more specialized training to address)? If this was to be implemented in a public school, how would this look to parents/taxpayers? These questions are not impossible to answer when it comes to conveying information on emotional intelligence, but I see a bunch of ethical quandaries within the answers. That's why I consider this unsettling.

That sounds more like social intelligence to me, if it's focused on behaviors.

While I recognize the importance of these things for children, that really sounds like it should be classified as a therapeutic venture. Yeeks.

My nephew, thanks to abuse and brain damage (his mother used meth liberally when she was pregnant), desperately needs to learn how to connect his emotions to controlling his behavior, as he gets VERY violent.

But I'd be nervous as hell to let a school do this. They do what they can to try and keep him safe from himself and others, and works with the school counselor, but it doesn't seem like an appropriate school-day lesson otherwise.
