This is notan isolated finding; it recurs again and again in suchstudies. In a time when too many children lack the capacityto handle their upsets, to listen or focus, to rein inimpulse, to feel responsible for their work or care aboutlearning, anything that will buttress these skills will helpin their education. In this sense, emotional literacy enhancesschools' ability to teach. Even in a time of backto-basicsand budget cuts, there is an argument to bemade that these programs help reverse a tide of educationaldecline and strengthen schools in accomplishingtheir main mission, and so are well worth theinvestment.Beyond these educational advantages, the coursesseem to help children better fulfill their roles in life,
