Is it psychologically good to force children to do things they dislike at school.?

Answer 1

yes, because as an adult you do things you don't want to do all the tine. That's life. There are many, many rules to follow, and more things in life that you don't want to do as an adult but still have to vs what you will find as a child/teen.

Answer 2

I am going to pretend that you did not just ask this question. If we were not forced to do anything that we did not want to do, how do you think life would turn out for us? We would grow up thinking that we got everything we wanted. Anything that was not on our want list would be means for a tantrum if made to have or do it. I mean you must be more specific. I had a gymnastics coach when I was 6-8 which is part of the most fragile time of a child's life, most often when one receives psychological problems. And she forced me to do the balance beam even though I was terribly afraid of heights. I did it, because she made me and I think back now and compare it to me now, and I believe it effected me nonetheless. If anything it taught me an important lesson in life, not everything in life goes your way.

Answer 3

As a teacher I can tell you that there are a lot of things at school that kids don't love. In fact if you ask most of them they will say they only like recess and lunch. lol I said the same thing as a kid. Unfortunately with the pressure that No Child Left Behind has created, a teacher has no choice but to press kids harder and harder to proform well in school. Plus, doing things we don't like helps us to be prepared for the world we face as an adult.

Answer 4

The purpose of sending children to school, besides giving them an education is to prepare them for the adult world. Throughout our lives we all have to do things that we would rather not do. School helps us prepare for these things by teaching us that even though we have to do things we rather wouldn't, we have to do them, it is part of life. I feel that it would be psychologically bad for children if they did not have to do things they didn't like.

Answer 5

I think forcing someone to do anything is wrong. I think encouragement and support is the easier way. If you have a painfully shy child you would not want to force them to try out for the lead in the school play. However, you may convince them to do a non-speaking part. You would not want to traumatize your child.

Answer 6

i think so, because we have to do things on a daily basis that we really dont like. its just part of life and if they dont learn at a young age they never will. i would prefer to be laying on the beach sipping drinks getting a tan instead of working and paying bills, but i cant. my fiance lived a life where his parents never made him do things that he didnt like to do like clean and work. They never taught him responsibility. its hard to get him to do things because he doesnt see the importance of them. i on the other hand didnt have any privileges unless I earned them. i couldnt talk on the phone or watch tv unless i did my chores. if i broke something i had to work to pay for it. my priveledge of driving was given to me if i got a job. i've held a stready job ever since i was 16. now im responsible with $$$ and he isnt. so yes, i think children at school should be forced to do things to teach them responsibility because when they get out on their own and have to pay electricity, go to work, etc... they will know that some things just have to be done.

Answer 7

Of course it is! Kids need to be shown new things. I never liked math, but I needed to learn it. I never liked English, either, but I'd be lost now without communication skills.

If you only teach kids things that they like, they'll miss out on a lot of the life skills they need.

Answer 8

Yes, would you rather they grow up thinking everything will always go their way?

Answer 9

yes, it prepares them for when they grow up and have to work for a living

Answer 10

Of course not. Fight Fight Fight!!
