Anything can be taught—best by being observed. I was told once I was the most dangerous sort of teacher because i tried to teach ethics and awareness of the needs of others. This person told me I should just be teaching facts!!!!
Wow, Judy, you really reached back into my archives for this post. But you’re right, empathy should taught or at least encouraged. That and critical thinking.
CIVICS – They used to teach it, but stopped~! The results is such things as a Ignorant Football player running for congress and thousands of dumb people voting for him thinking that football plays should be enough to run our government~!
EMPATHY 101? Wow. (Or even a doctorate in EMPATHY?) It could change the world. Now to find the snappy slogan to make people want to care about, even n RELATE to the hows and whys and needs of other beings’ minds and lives. Judy, you are the best at “catchiness” with heart. Now what? Advertise? XOG
Can it really be taught?!
