Ditto what Em said.  You can't tell me that anyone but bleeding hearts or pussy whipped males would enroll in a series of mind control sessions to make them more compassionate.  If I were running the program I would do it with shock collars.  Any uncompassionate behavior would be met with a 5 second blast of 10.000 volts.  In no time at all, everything would be Kumbaya.

IMHO this is a parental responsibility, even a drunk farm-boy jarhead like me can figure this one out. 

Perhaps we should consider teaching parenting in school, apparently it's needed.

I agree.  In the UK, or at least back when, boys took Home Ec., and girls got shop & electrical etc. as well.  Now, it seems that we just hold kids without giving them any basis for life.  Hell, when I finished up HS in the US, they didn't even teach you about balancing a checkbook.

Ultimately, it is the parents responsibility, I agree.

As far as I know they still don't.  Too many parents these days have their noses stuck in reality shows or a pile of meth.  They never learned parenting and certainly don't practice it.  15 and more years ago I recall attending "back to school" nights and seeing the same small cadre of concerned parents.  The vast majority never showed up.  Now my daughter's classmates are neglecting their own children.

All around discipline is lacking as well. We reward kids for average or even poor performance as if they did something great. Parents post unimportant life events on FB as if their child had performed a heart transplant. Yea, congrats your child graduated 327 out of 350. What a miracle that was, yes? In the end, it's the children who will pay for the poor upbringing they receive.

More compassionate people = more "dressed up in their Sunday best" miscarriage family photos on the internet.

Banjo can't have that.
