This makes a lot of sense in theory. Children are in the most critical periods of their life. They are giant sponges absorbing every little thing around them. To teach children problem solving skills at an early age makes sense. Like the article mentioned it doesn't make sense to punish children for behavior they don't yet have the ability to control. To be completely honest this could be translated into strategies for parenting. My issue with this is the practicality of it. I remember going through school, and watching as classrooms got larger and larger. The teachers received no assistance and some just drowned. In a climate like this I don't see this as being useful simply because the growing number of other children who don't have to be handled like this are stuck being neglected because they are more competent than another student. What I'm curious about is will those students begin to act out if they see it is as way to gain the attention of the adults?
