Children Full of Life, a documentary about kids sharing emotions in school (includes discussions on how they feel over the death of a loved one).
Thoroughly worth checking out. Vid 1 is posted below: the link will take you to the remaining 4 vids.

That seems like a very interesting approach to shaping young minds; teaching empathy and compassion. I don't know if teachers would be aloud to do that here. I don't know if parents would like it if their kids were taught like that. I could see people being offended by another person teaching their children about life.
The teacher seems like a great man that cares about the kids. It's too bad that if he were in the states he would have been fired in a second for consoling the girl like he did in the second video.
