As I watch this, I think about my child now finishing grade 4. What a difference this teacher would have made in her socially tumultuous life to address the petty jealousies and all too real fears. I'm inspired to make this happen here.

Incomplete title.

Yes agreed, I really respect those that have the passion and patience for teaching kids, I think it's harder than it looks, but it's perhaps the most important job on the planet.

I have the greatest respect for Teachers like this. I wish I'd had a teacher like him when I was growing up, would have probably saved me a lot of trouble down the line.

just going buy the video ( because its hard to tell the full reality of the situation just by 40 min of clips and a nurator.)

2 years of this sort of teaching is more valuable and of more use to people than 10 years of the shit they teach in uk , The uk (and probably majority of Japanese system) forces children to work this sort of thing out on there own often with no real support which is fine for kids that have an intuitive sense of things or are strong but children that are weaker or slower to come to important conclusions or don't have the natural ability to strive socaily get totally fucked in our current system which I would argue results in the large numbers of suicide ,people with depressoin , mental disorders , and people feeling dissatisfied with life.

This method of teaching should be what all primary schools strive for.

whoa, social experiment!!!!!!!

What an awesome teacher, what awesome life lessons, not shying away from the important things about life, death, friends, bullying, appropriate punishment.

Just wonderful. You can but hope for a teacher like this for your children. You can do all you can to make it so, choose the best school possible, try to get them into the classes with the best teachers. But in the end there's so, so, so few teachers like this.

I had a pretty awesome grade 6 teacher that had a letter writing thing where we posted letters to him in a classroom mailbox and he responded to them all. To this day I remember his response to one of mine where me, as an 11 year old, was saying how angry I was that our new car was being delayed in delivery for a few days. Utterly ridiculous outrage for such a small thing. He put it all in perspective, and being that I'm pretty darn good at putting things in perspective now, and that I still remember that letter, I think that it had a huge effect on me.

Just little things like that, things that are fleeting, can make such a huge impact on who you are as a person, how you face the world for the rest of your life.

These kids are becoming so much more compassionate people from this, it is enough to choke you up, really is.
