Wait..there are techniques?
Should Dating techniques be taught in school?
Why tho
No ... Simply because there are NO "standard" dating techniques.
Pickup lines 101? Sounds great to me LOL
I really don't think there is a need. Maybe teach the kids to dance, so they have something to do to meet others.
We should get lessons from a pick-up artist. "So you see a hot bitch and you wanna know if she's DTF, right..."
School should be for academics. Other than kindergarten when the basic social skills are taught, (such as don't take what doesn't belong to you, keep your hands to yourself, treat other as you would like to be treated and wait your turn, etc.) the rest should come from home or other social groups or extracurricular activities.
No. At the right age sexual development and sex education is suffice.
How to deal with emotion would be a better lesson. Many children do not have healthy role models when dealing with anger, or even an ability to recognise how they feel.
Obviously not
hmm no.
Well one hopes what a person "Learns" in school along with academia is social interactions . . . Unfortunately the adolescent's brain is not quite up to the task of FULLY processing all of these things until their mid to late 20's . . . So despite that social awkwardness in High school, and the self discovery of College . . . LIFE offers the best dating education.
Simply start living and put yourself out there.
Nope as who would write the rules that were to be taught here? Dating is a trial and error type thing we all go thru , win or lose, we all learn the hard way. Most of us probably would have failed the class anyway since there is no way in life to make someone feel the same way about us that we do them so we are bound to fail a lot before we win. How would a Teacher grade a class like this ? By someone going on a first date or going out for months as passing? And with the LBGT movement, how could a Teacher ever teach something like that?
I think it would be useful to teach some date etiquette to drive a few stakes into the ground for the "kids" to refer to when they first start dating.
That sounds good! Anyway, I would change a lot in teaching system at school. I believe that school could have had many interesting subjects, but what we have now only make students lose a taste for studies.
If only we had in school such lessons where we would be taught some pick up stuff, that would be cool. For now, I need to write my essay today and do some other boring stuff.
I don't think that dating techniques is something that is universal so probably not. However, I do believe that more pressing issues like things to do with consent should be taught in sexual education of some sort because that can lead to bigger things with the law like with rape and sexual harassment.
I believe that school should not only teach academics, but they should also prepare students for life in greater society when they graduate. I mean as a student, you spend most of your waking hours at school or doing something for school so it seems reasonable that important societal expectations are taught there too. Social groups and most extracurricular activities aren't really explicit about teaching you that. Giving students an understanding of things (in this case, consent but you can fill in the blank with other stuff like theft, murder, and so on) to prevent them from breaking any laws is undoubtedly important if you want to live in society. That and how to do your taxes.
