If only teachers across the world are like Mr Toshiro Kanamori who truly understands what teaching children is all about and who certainly made a positive difference in the lives of his students.
This is a must-watch video, especially for teachers. Thanks to Pandabonium who allowed me to 'borrow' it from his site.
"In the award-winning documentary Children Full of Life, a fourth-grade class in a primary school in Kanazawa, northwest of Tokyo, learn lessons about compassion from their homeroom teacher, Toshiro Kanamori. He instructs each to write their true inner feelings in a letter, and read it aloud in front of the class. By sharing their lives, the children begin to realize the importance of caring for their classmates."
I don't know about you but I had to stretch for tissues. Don't say I didn't warn you.
I love how the two ideas are mentioned together so naturally: how to have a happy life and how to care for others. Can't have one without the other.
