Death education: to teach or not to teach
Death education is a complex issue, and there are many different viewpoints.

Teach practical facts

Some people think that schools should teach students the facts about death to help them prepare. This can be achieved by providing information such as life cycle, turning point of life and death, and post-death situation. This kind of education can help students enhance their understanding of life and help them deal with emotions and problems related to death.

Avoid teaching death education

However, others think that schools should avoid teaching death education because it may have a bad influence on students' mental health. They think that students may not be mature enough to deal with the emotions caused by death, so schools should protect them from this influence.

Depends on different views and assessments.

Therefore, whether schools carry out death education depends on different views on death education and different assessments of students' mental health.

Professional organization and behavior

Finally, if it is decided to teach death education in schools, it should be organized and conducted by professionals (such as psychologists) to ensure that the education is beneficial.
