Maybe other courses can be beneficial to take them out from sadness and stress. for example music, arts, drawing and any thing they will like or any thing that will help them to release the negativity outside. I read the whole article and i found that students took a lot of time to convince the Yale's administration to accept their request for taking this course, so maybe if they tried other courses like theater will also be beneficial.
ReplyDeletesuch a course will help them to be more hopeful and complete their life taking out the negative side and pass over it and based only on the positive points
ReplyDeleteBut I think if those learners were taught how flourish their life themselves they will never need such a course.
