Iskolai prevenció és az evolúció logikájának ellentmondásai
Mental Health Prevention in Schools and the Contradictions of Evolution

Summary/Abstract: It is unwise to expect from schools to prepare children to all future challenges. The take-home message of the present paper is that the 6–14 age groups should be taught to pursue behavioural strategies which in themselves, in important ways, contradict the logic of biological evolution. Humans, and of course children as well, are wired to short-term optimization. Long and healthy life requires long-term optimization. The good news is that trust, self-control and the development of will power can be taught in schools. This is most important for children coming from poor families.
