I increasingly believe that communication and conflict-resolution skills should be taught in schools from Prep to Year 12 as a compulsory core subject. I salute Elizabeth Kleinrock for her inspiring leadership. Her students are blessed to be in her care.

This is a topic that is almost never addressed! I was very impressed by the way the children responded so maturely and shared with each other and the other children. I believe this is an important topic and should be part of the curriculum! Thank you for sharing!

I want to see it and I can't get it started. It simply goes around in an uncompleted circle when I click the "go" arrow.

It gives me such hope!! It seems today we have way too many bystanders, as a person who has taught & now in the sunset of my years, I am encouraged to realize another generation is rising up who will be able to pick up the mantle of making this world & it’s people more compassionate & caring. Bravo & kudos to Miss Liz, a national treasure!

Here is someone making the world a better place. Raising awareness and introducing honest communication will work wonders. Please spread this empathy and kindness to every corner of the globe. Thank you, Ms. Liz.

It is so important that these kids are experiencing this together. They are learning that they have each other to talk with and act with when the world outside their classroom offends them. In their classroom interactions they are getting to practice empathy. They will be more likely to use this awareness outside the classroom and expect the world to be other than bullying or prejudicial. I will post this video on Facebook because it is too easy to find bad news there. We need as many examples of good actions as we can find to stay hopeful and joyful in these challenging times and inspire each other to good action.

To Cathy, it feels like you're assuming that the Black students in the class were intentionally left out. As a parent, I'm not sure I would want my kid interviewed in a video. Maybe the students weren't comfortable being on camera. Maybe they didn't want to be seen as a token minority. Given the message and work that this teacher is creating, I highly doubt that she is intentionally excluding Black students and it doesn't seem fair that you would assume this about her.

This incredible group of people inspires me to not be a bystander but to take the plunge into a social justice initiative that engages people all over my community (faith groups, unions, single-issue groups, etc.) in identifying, developing and enacting solutions to the major social justice issues in our region (Greater Victoria, British Columbia, Canada). Thank-you for speaking up!

At age 86 I realize that the message to these children is so very important in today's world. I was this age during the Second World War and we saw and heard of much hate in our world and as a child felt rather helpless. These children will always remember that the smallest moment of kindness and helping will go a long way. It is within anyones power to help. NM

Hope for all of us . Lets be proactive

Thank you...this is encouraging. My heart is open to the possibility and potential of the human spirit through this good life work. Yes...more of this is needed all over the country...kids have the answers...they have feelings and to create a space for their language to explore and express their feelings is so important. Thank you!

The beautiful teacher and beautiful, bright, engaged children give me great hope for our world. Thank you.
