Hey Grilled Angus, I empathize with your lack of empathy for the Roots of Empathy program :-) Could this have something to do with the possibility that when you and I were children there was no such thing as a Roots of Empathy program?

You know, how can can I know what the value of something is without truly experiencing it for myself?

Just sayin ;-)

Roots of empathy is a waste of fucking tax dollars. we should get rid of it and leave it up to the children to reduce levels of violence in society.

We have the Roots of Empathy program here in Canada. It really works.

Empathy and emotional literacy are so valuable.

I never had the opportunity to experience this program when I was a kid in school.
