A real education

I think Greenbergs ideas from the article A real education by Barry boyce, are an incredible way to help children behave and learn better. I agree with so much that he talked about. He really cares and shows compassion for the children. And how compassion is a thing they need to learn as well. “Kindness, caring, empathy, being able to de-center from your own point of view and listen deeply to others—these are values that should be cultivated in our classrooms,” This was said by Mark Greenberg. He is the director of promotion of human development at Penn State. He makes very great points of child development. Yoga is a great way he states to get them ready to learn for the day. It helps calm them down and de stress them. Greenberg wants to promote positive qualities like empathy, citizenship, and strong friendships. That is his goal. Who wouldn’t love these ideas? He states that mindfulness can increase peoples awareness of their emotions and feelings and how to deal with them regularly. He wants to reduce anxiety and depression. I am glad someone is not only trying to make a difference but with the parents as well. Parents should know how to handle their children.  And learn to focus on their feelings and understand them. I think the classes would really help but is kinda abnoxious to have them do this and try to change the kids so much. But I think it could show some real improvement in the children.
