behavioral education

All I Really Need To Know I Learned in Kindergarten is a book of short essays by American minister and author Robert Fulghum. It was first published in 1986.

The title of the book is taken from the first essay in the volume, in which Fulghum lists lessons normally learned in American kindergarten classrooms and explains how the world would be improved if adults adhered to the same basic rules as children, i.e. sharing, being kind to one another, cleaning up after themselves, and living "a balanced life" of work, play, and learning.

At some point, school becomes entirely about reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic. 💡 ( or, in today's age, Language Arts, STEM, and Social Studies) .

Even the likes of Home Economics and Woodworking are often cut at the altar of college prep.


Unfortunately, the realities of teaching behavior to those over the age of nine cannot be discussed in this medium.
