Prof says kids must be taught happiness
LONDON, May 3 (UPI) --
A government adviser says British schools should offer children lessons in how to be happy. Richard Layard, a Labor peer and professor of economics at the London School of Economics, said students should be taught how to manage feelings, proper attitudes about work and money, how to channel negative emotions and even how to take a critical view of the media, The (London) Daily Telegraph said Thursday. "Learning hard things takes an enormous amount of practice," said Layard. "To play the violin well takes 10,000 hours of practice. How can we expect people to learn to be happy without massive amounts of practice and repetition?" Traditionalists say requiring happiness lessons at school will create a generation of emotionally weak youngsters and take time away from important academic subjects. A UNICEF study of 21 developed countries showed British children were the least satisfied with their lives, the newspaper said.
