I made this video, and regardless of what you may think mcclanahan has probably taught me the most valuable information out of any high school teacher I had.. I respect him greatly
I had Frank for my senior english class and this video brings back A LOT of memories. If you didn't have him as a teacher you'll never understand. I'm almost 30 and I still think of his class. He was funny, touching, daring, over the top and also very thoughtful. We Need More Teachers like him!! He is a legend and all who had him and understood him will understand why.
this isn't about being american. it's hilarious if you had him as a teacher. this bit of footage barely shows a glimpse what we went through everytime we sat in that class. by far the best class at lhs. amazing and ridiculously hilarious experience. if you're hating on it/think it's not funny, being american has nothing to do with it. you just obviously didn't have him as a teacher and you don't understand.
Speaking the Truth: "I saw this on the news, you kids are retarded. If I was still 17 I'd beat the shit out of all of you."
links to news video?
I had "the Clan", I actually had class 2 periods before this was filmed. Class of 06 was the last to enjoy his...insanity, antics, whatever you want to call it. I always enjoyed the class.
Rumor is he is teaching kids in China to speak english.
Ohh, Mary-Margarete, you could never compete with Jane Austen for Frank's love.
Alright it's Crazy Frank! I miss him, he was a good teacher, always liked his style, he also turned me on to Orson Scott Card, one of my favorite authors now.
I soooooooo remember this lecture, this is definitely the same lecture that i had back in 03-04 and the same my bro had back in 97-98.... LOL. his crazy little antics, this guy was out of this world!!!
It still amazes me how you got this on film during his chair talk, brother. I had him for senior english as well (class of '04) and he would ALWAYS talk about his trips to different countries...
I went to Lakeridge my freshman and sophmore years then moved. My older brother had him and always told me stuff. I wonder who took this video. hahahaha
Simply amazing. I was in the class of '05 with that guy and it was really as crazy as the video shows. Once he said that the reason why we invaded Iraq and Afghanistan was because we were about to attack the Soviet Union.

You mean when you turn 17. Calling people retards for filming a teacher is not only politically incorrect but very immature and pointless.
