Elite boarding school’s head of teaching says empathy ‘not an inbuilt trait’

Eton’s pupils are now instructed on how to take a moment each day to acknowledge how other people have helped them and what they have to be grateful for.“You don’t have to be hugely privileged to be grateful – all of us can be grateful. You don’t have to be an Etonian to be grateful,” he said. announced it would launch a 12-week course on happiness to students, who will be taught about sleep and meditation.

Get the arrogant scum to live up north for a month they would soon learn 💩💩💩💩

Thank you kind peasant....

You don't teach empathy.

That should come from the parents, it’s called manners

ft €79£000

Are you joking me at that age the privileged little s**** should already know, my children did from the age of five.

Wow. May be a smidge late by that point. And saying thankyou is not empathy

Why It is the most fundamental thing that should be ingrained into them from the moment they speak by the parents.

This has also to be taught at home.

CareerSaver

they should of been taught manners by there parents from when they start talking sad when u have to pay thousands to start with the basics

Instead of Fuck You! Subtle difference, Class. You can THINK it but it MUST come out as the T word. Think of it as the difference between wanting to be PM or Foreign Secretary.

Teach them to say' thankyou' one would think ones parents would have taught them manners at a young age

You are welcome for putting up with me.

I doesnt understand,why would one say thank you to servants & serfs.

Sounds like parents need to be involved too.

These are upper class twats that won't say thank to anyone they believe is lower than them

How sad that you have to teach rich kids to show gratitude.

That is a sorry statement. Manners make the man. Please - thank you - sorry. Small words with huge impact. Where are the parents in this. It is their job to bring up their kids as humans not as entitled brats

Next , the inbuilt trait of arrogance ? ....

They should try teaching kids about honesty and responsibility

I call that 'bull shit'. Same amount of word but a bit less wind I would say.

eton thankyou

It may be a bit late for that....
