In this fourth volume of his series of poems on compassion, Professor Patrick Pietroni focuses specifically on the education of compassion. He poses the questions: “Can we create an educational system that can include a compassionate curriculum?” And secondly, “What does such a curriculum include and how should it be delivered?”
Experimental educational approaches began as early as 1921, but in this volume, Pietroni explores how the compassionate development of a child can be encouraged or not, how to make the compassionate educational journey intentional, and how to make compassion the key organizing principle of school life. Within a compassionate school curriculum, poetry ignites students to think about what it is like to share their opinions, be heard, and make a difference in their world. Poets and contributors include William Shakespeare, Robert Frost, Thomas Hardy and numerous others.
