I did this with my elementary students. It is much better than just sending the student to another room to cool down. It helps teach personal responsibility.

@timothyball3144

Absolutely! Just saying, "I'm sorry," is a cop-out.

@allahbole

A lot more essay writing needs to be done in schools. Too few people have the skills to think nowadays.

Meanwhile when my aunt tells my cousin to apologize he just runs up to me, says "apologize" and then goes back to what he was doin.

@raffa4456

Until you realize that it was, in fact, only rehearsing to hit the right tone and words and the actual full understanding of why people were wronged develops later. While theory of mind is usually learned before then, the full logical reasoning ability and emotional intelligence develops later and sitting alone in your room writing essays is... It's not emotional connection. It's a completely intellectualized approach that has the potential to do a lot of other damage. People may try, few find good approaches to do what should be done

@resuriahel7815

this sounds like all kinda aids useful punishment if it meant you didn't do whatever you did again. on the plus side they did teach their kids to be emotionally manipulative. since the judgement of good or bad was based off of the feelings of the parents and not the one who was wronged. and who takes til college to figure out how basic apologies.

@pinsneedles1743

Your parents were geniuses

@The_Reclaimer92

Alot of people dont deserve an apology

@nerofl89

No such thing as emotional intelligence, completely made up. There is no way to quantify such things and impossible to measure. To take a step back and analyze things and how your actions affected another is the exact opposite to emotional, it is logical and rational.

@DawidKellerman

So this intelligence how is it measures?

@Brayden1423

Okay but now apologies will be extremely forced and fake

@mrshoeguy2477

So you didn't learn not to eat other people's food?

@howiehowdy

People who apologize just look weak. Don't be someone who needs to apologize for anything other than bumping into someone...
