Empathy

Recall that empathy is the mental and emotional identification of a subject with the mood of another.

And why a teacher should be empathetic? Because is responsible of the development of many children, in which influences undeniably greater or lesser way. If a teacher shows empathy with his students, he is teaching these to do the same among themselves, with other people around them, etc. The empatía has demonstrated its role in the development of the most advanced societies, as you can see in this video

Moreover, empathy leads to altruism, which is a quality that should also encourage students to pursue a happier society for everyone.

I'll never forget a conversation to which teachers at the school lead us. The talk was conducted by a musician, who, with songs and videos, was talking about what an NGO was and what they did in many other countries. I will never forget the happiness the man conveyed, and the desire to understand and support that woke us all that day.

The teacher's role in this case, was the contact with this man and arrange the speech.
