Children Full of Life- Award winning Documentary on a Japanese teacher

[Ichingcarpenter]

Mr. Kanamori, a teacher of a 4th grade class, teaches his students not only how to be students, but how to live. He gives them lessons on teamwork, community, the importance of openness, how to cope, and the harm caused by bullying.

In the award-winning documentary Children Full of Life, a fourth-grade class in a primary school in Kanazawa, northwest of Tokyo, learn lessons about compassion from their homeroom teacher, Toshiro Kanamori.
He instructs each to write their true inner feelings in a letter, and read it aloud in front of the class. By sharing their lives, the children begin to realize the importance of caring for their classmates.

Toshiro is an amazing example of what all teachers across the world should be like. He truly understands what teaching children is all about and certainly made a positive difference in the lives of these 10 year olds.

I was rather touched by this film having taught the 4th grade at one time.
Most amazing educational film which brings tears to the eyes. The story of a sensitive Japanese teacher who explores death, humiliation and other feelings with 10 year old children. Must watch film for parents and teachers
