The social-emotional learning system has also been shown to be most positive for at-risk kids, the ones most likely to fail academically, making it beneficial regardless of anything like class, race, sex/gender, etc.

A learning system that teaches students to develop their self-awareness, empathy, and social problem-solving skills, helps them detach themselves from extra stress, stress that inhibits the areas of the brain involved in concentration and memory.

This may be the technological age, but interacting with others in a healthy manner still constitutes a considerable part of achieving success.
