[quote=Anonymous]My ds is an 11th grader at a HS that does this. "Homeroom" was instituted this year as the first period of the day. Once a week, the homeroom teacher gives a guidance lesson on a topic related to emotional intelligence. He says the kids don't like it because 1) it's boring and 2) it takes away their ability to go see another teacher that day, which is what that period can be used for. He has never done so, and says most kids in his homeroom don't either. Most kids use this time to study or do homework or socialize with the other kids in their room. I don't know if it has any value that the kids don't see or acknowledge, but I imagine it's an effort to provide emotional support and coping tools that some might not get at home. [/quote]
