the legend
This makes me so happy, and yet so sad.
He was smart, he was a writer (you could tell by his phrasing) and this is something he TRULY cares about. That boy has a heart and he cares. He sees the truth for what it is and he refuses to sit idly and watch as the youth of america just stumbles by.
BUT the teacher was done. She didn’t care. She was fed up.
BUT the students were uncaring, even laughing, as this young man walked out
BUT this video was put online to be deemed as a joke and embarrass that boy.
THAT is unexceptionable
THAT is not right.
If you are this young gentleman if you are his relative, or if you have ever done something similar.
I am so proud of you
To take your opinion and share. NOT ONCE did he threaten her, NOT ONCE did he raise his voice above a proper projection so that the class could hear his words NOT ONCE did he insult her in any means past how she was behaving with her job. He didn’t undermine her. He didn’t hurt her, and yet he gave his message and left in peace.
That makes him a true, undeniable, super hero in my eyes.
Thank you sir.
YES. EVERYTHING HE SAID JUST YES. I HATE PACKET TEACHERS.
ok i love this guy
i think the worst part is that the teacher won’t even talk to him?? like he wasn’t even mad at first, he was trying to appeal to her, but she just keeps saying “okay, bye” and dismissing him.
do you ever look at some teachers and wonder why on earth they went into education at all?
Okay let me talk about my mom for a minute (NOT THIS BITCH IN THE VIDEO)
My mother hated high school because of the teachers and how things were being ‘taught’ to her. For ten years after she graduated high school, she worked and was doing fine without a college degree. Then I was born. That made her want to go back to school and get a degree so she could make sure that I had a better life and that I would do better for myself. My mom is now a teacher in the public school system. She has six college degree - one of which is a doctorate. A majority of her degrees are in education - including her doctorate. My mother wanted to make sure that her students had fun and ENJOYED her class. Students from eight years ago still come up to her and thank her for everything she did for them - which was nothing more than teach them French or World History. I don’t think this woman realizes what she’s doing to these kids - or not doing for them. This woman does not deserve to be a teacher. My mother, however, does. She hopes to be working at a college soon where she can teach future educators HOW to teach. I’m so, extremely proud of my mother because SHE is a wonderful teacher, she loves her students dearly and sets them up for success. This woman in the video does not deserve to be a teacher. She’s a very bad example of what a teacher should be.
Okay story time over.
