Social behavior is learned.
It is learned by direct imitation of significant individuals in our lives or by repeating a behavior to which others react in such a way as to reinforce the behavior, that is, to make the behavior happen again. The Cypress-Fairbanks school district is dedicated to helping every student experience success in school, be it academic, artistic, athletic, interpersonal, or vocational. In today's rapidly changing society, often both parents work, and many children have one-parent families. Both situations may reduce the amount of time families can spend together. Between the ages of six and eighteen, children spend approximately 13,000 hours in school, making it an ideal place to enhance the learning of appropriate behavior.
