About 7% of the population in North America seem to be naturals, and about another 3% manage to figure it out before they undermine their marriages to the point they will never be truly happy, but most of us have to find out the hard way by going though one bad match after another until we start asking ourselves what makes a good relationship work. This board has convinced me that the healthy 10% do not post here for the most part.

Everybody seems to think they don't already teach ideas like respect in school or that there is some deep morality/religous problem teaching people about things like respect (self and for somebody else), affection, and the general dynamics of a healthy relationship between any two people.
Very telling.

So far the consensus is "relationship skills should be taught at home";meanwhile the divorce rate in North America has been 50% or higher for 35 years, less than 10% of marriages are really happy ones, so that's working real well: people aren't learning at home, and they don't have good role models for the most part.
So maybe the basics shouldn't be taught in school, but they aren't being taught at home either, so that's a smokescreen.

Now you want public schools to teach relationship skills. Why don't you just have kids and send them off to schools to be raised. Does anyone believe in parenting any more?

The schools have long since done away with teaching anything akin to values or morals which would be necessary to teach a class on relationships. The NEA is more concerned with indoctrinating the nation's children into it's leftist, pro-gay, anti-family ideology than even teaching basic reading & writing.

Relationship courses should be taught at home. It called growing in a functional family. What ever that is. We learn from our life experience which starts at childhood. Society should put more emphases on keeping families together. Although dont have a solution
