   EQ is innate. Infants as young as three months show empathy.
   Nowhere is the discussion of emotional intelligence more pressing than in American schools, where both the stakes and the opportunities seem greatest. Instead of constant crisis intervention, or declarations of war on drug abuse or teen pregnancy or violence, it is time, Goleman argues, for preventive medicine. "Five years ago, teachers didn’t want to think about this," says Principal Roberta Kirshbaum of Public School 75 in New York City. "But when kids are getting killed in high school, we have to deal with it. " Five years ago, Kirshbaum’s school adopted an emotional literacy program, designed to help children learn to manage anger, frustration, loneliness. Since then, fights at lunchtime have decreased from two or three a day to almost none.
   Educators can point to all sorts of【C1】______ to support this new direction. Students who are 【C2】______ or angry literally cannot learn. Children who have trouble being【C3】______ by their classmates are 2 to 8 times【C4】______ popular students to drop out. An inability to distinguish 【C5】______ feelings or handle frustration has been linked to eating【C6】______ in girls.
   Many school administrators in the U. S. are completely 【C7】______ the weight they have been giving to traditional【C8】______ and standardized tests. Peter Relic, president of the National 【C9】______ of Independent Schools, would like to junk the SAT【C10】______. "Yes, it may cost a heck of a lot more money to【C11】______ someone’s EQ rather than using a machine-scored test to【C12】______ IQ," he says. "But if we don’t, then we’re【C13】______ that a teat score is more important to us than who a【C14】______ is as a human being. That means an immense loss in terms of human【C15】______ because we’ve defined success too narrowly. "
   This warm embrace by educators has【C16】______ some scientists in a bind. On one hand, says Yale psychologist Salovey, "I love the 【C17】______ that we want to teach people a richer understanding of their【C18】______ life, to help them achieve their goals. " But, he【C19】______ , " What I would oppose is training conformity to 【C20】______ expectations. " The danger is that any campaign to hone emotional【C21】______ in children will end up teaching that there is a " right" emotional【C22】______ for any given situation— laugh at parades, cry at【C23】______, sit still in church. " You can teach self-control,"【C24】______ Dr. Alvin Poussaint, professor of psychiatry at Harvard 【C25】______ School. "You can teach that it’s better to talk out your【C26】______ and not use violence. But is it good emotional intelligence not to【C27】______ authority?"
   Some psychologists go further and challenge the【C28】______ that emotional skills can or should be taught in any kind of【C29】______, classroom way. Goleman’s premise that children can be【C30】______ to analyze their feelings strikes Johns Hopkins’ McHugh as【C31】______ to reinvent the encounter group. " I consider that an abominable【C32】______," he says, "an idea we have seen with adults. That【C33】______ , and now he wants to try it with children? Good grief!" He【C34】______ the description in Goleman’s book of an experimental 【C35】______ at the Nueva Learning Center in San Francisco. In one【C36】______, two primary-school boys start to argue over the 【C37】______ of an exercise, and the teacher breaks in to ask them to talk about【C38】______ they’re feeling. "I appreciate the way you’re being assertive in talking【C39】______ Tucker," she says to one student. "You’re not【C40】______. " This strikes McHugh as pure folly. "The author is presuming that someone has the key to the right emotions to be taught to children. We don’t even know the right emotions to be taught to adults. Do you really think a child of eight or nine really understands the difference between aggressiveness and assertiveness?"
