I think all teachers for teaching my child. I see what goes on in the classes. Its not easy trying to teach but government stepped in and now you have to teach to pass an sol. Its not easy when every year someone limits your abilities to do the job right.
teachers used to teach. now they're tenured cry babies. spouting liberal mantra is not teaching; it's indoctrination. i'm glad i got my higher education when we allowed to think; not listen to strident liberal bleating.
AMEN! I always treated my teachers with respect because my parents are stupid hillbillies and teachers are the reason I'm not. I graduated from art school. I make a career out of creating things. That's because of my teachers who recognized a potential in me and encouraged me to explore it. The people who dedicate so much of their time to forming the minds of each generation. Pro athletes should exchange salaries with teachers due to social importance.
@rte66byhd .....Spend all day, every day of those 9 months stuck in a room with ungrateful little jerks whose parents think they're angels? yeah, it's kind of difficult.

Government scum, aka government school teachers demanding even more money be stolen from taxpayers for their uncompetitive schools. Ever notice how the Left is always talking about "choice" but it's really only when it comes to killing babies...when it comes to school, health, or retirement, the Left isn't for choice at all.
Liberals belief in personal choice extends only to personal freedoms, no one has pretended otherwise except for people like you, who set up political strawmen in youtube comments.
Since you like strawmen so much, I'll point out how third party health cares more about stakeholders than patient life, that most "tax dollars" are wasted on blowing up third world countries, and that RSP's can get utterly destroyed by market fluctuation.
@vince33x You should tell everyone what kind of scum you are. You spread the propaganda of David Duke, infamous former KKK. You're a woman hater, a racist and brainwashed by right-wing hate websites. Why don't you just crawl into a hole and don't come out.
You have to blame the teachers. Who else can you blame? The parents who don't come to parent conferences and open house? The parents who when you call them to tell them about their child's misbehavior tell you to stop calling them because they don't want to deal with it anymore? The parents whose child has a failing report card but also has an Xbox and the newest iPhone? The parents who themselves don't have a high school diploma? No, don't blame them, blame the teachers.
Bravo! He said it all and the message is clear! He expressed himself in a way that hit home for me in a huge way. I'm sure all of his past teachers were responsible for his highly developed sense of communication. This was on the money. Thank you so much!
I am a high school student and a tutor for younger kids. All I've got to say is mad respect for you teachers out there...It takes fucking balls and patience to deal with any student. I only teach 1 on 1 sessions, but I have serious respect for teachers in front of 20+ students every day
And to continue, since my previous comment was cutoff is that most teachers do not want more pay, just more respect and support in whatever form that may be. Most teachers leave the profession who are really good at it too get fed up with the politics, not the kids. Everyone shares the same overall intended goal which is to equip today's youth for the call of tomorrow. People who merely call teachers babysitters, overpaid, etc. and do nothing else are not helping the cause. Think you can do bet
As a teacher who prides herself on working hard and loving her job despite the challenges and overall disrespect (not by the children who do respect me, but by the adults' misconceptions and generalizations), I don't want to be paid more, I actually want to be paid for how much work I actually do, which is more than what I actually get paid for. But I stay with it anyway, knowing that I won't. And I don't do it for the dismissive, no-accountability-having adults who expect gold but give coppers
haha @poliscribble, your mindless banter is laughable, next time you'd like to make a valid argument, do a little proof reading and spell checking. you're ridiculous and completely out of line. i'm sorry you haven't had the opportunity to meet good, passionate teachers but trust me, they do exist just as the bad ones do. i won't pretend there aren't bad teachers in the system, but before you making a sweeping generalization, do a little research. oh, and learn how to write.
Compared to average Americans: Teachers earn an above average wage, get above average benefits, get above average vacation time, and have above average job security.
On top of this: They are defended by by the most influential union, have the easiest 4 year degree to obtain, and good benefits.
They then cry about their jobs, which basically amounts to baby sitting and spitting out predetermined curriculum, because no one calls them out on it.
@poliscribble Yep. They are like the charity case welfare people that get better than they deserve but still cry for more all the time. It's just to "mean" and un-PC to call them on their bullshit. Lazy moochers. No winder the American education system has been slipping. The teachers are bigger crybabies then the little children they babysit.
@poliscribble Fuck you asshole, this guy isn't bitching about his job. He's defending his fucking profession, which he's passionate about and sees past the assholes who judge him. I've seen way more people bitch about their cubicle jobs than teachers. The only thing that pissed this guy off is assholes like you who think he isn't doing anything special. Oh, and thanks for the fucking TAX DOLLARS? Yeah, I'm sure you expect people to pat you on the back for obeying the fucking law. Fuck you
@sickmoooocow Except it's not fucking special you retard defect. Parents that just school their brats at home put out a consistently better educated student than you leeches. You aren't special. At least the chump in the cubicle is doing something run-of-the-mill stay at home moms can't do. Not to mention he deals with a tougher job market, less time off, the requirement to perform, ect. And your welcome again. Next time you head into class you can thank me for the charity. It's all you got.
@poliscribble I love how you just whine and bitch about everything just to compensate for your shitty life. What the hell makes you so special? You pay your fucking taxes? Stop fucking crying about it. I've interned for teachers and I've had an office job for 2 years. What have you done to help society?
@poliscribble That man in the cubicle? He wouldn't be there without teachers, probably you too. You're feeding off of the media blowing the minority of teachers who complain out of proportion while 99% of others go to work everyday and try their patience to advance our youth and progress in society. While you sit here and bitch I too pay my taxes. Whats more I am going to school to teach. Why? So I can show the power of knowledge, as ignorance like yours is whats REALLY unacceptable.
In Canada, teachers are paid good wages with good benefits. HUGE bummer that's not the same in the States!!! Hours still suck, though, during the school year.
This man makes excellent points. I picked this up over at truth dig website. One thing I'd like to add here -- the actual line is "those who can, do and those who understand, teach." This man understands and he teaches, a noble and honorable thing to do.
Who the hell are you to tell any parent who their kids "really" are? You have them for what, 5 hours a week? Am I glad to be educating my kids at home! They will pursue that which they have a passion for...and will thrive in that. Something you, sir, care not about for my children. Unless of course, it happens to be the subject you teach, which considering all the arts that are cut, it's highly unlikely that my children would thrive in your classroom. It's MY job to educate them, not yours!
You educate your kids, and as a teacher, I can't tell you how glad I am that you know that educating your kids is YOUR job, because 95% of parents I encounter spend less than 5 hours a day with their kids, (which is less than what we spend with them in a day).
I am a teacher, I might even homeschool my kids if I can, and don't tell me you don't get judged as well for doing that, so...Regadless of what you say, you are also a teacher in the end.
Teachers deserve a"FAIR SALARY,Thats it!Especially if your in the Public School's.Is it FAIR for taxpayers to pay more so Teachers can have more?If you want more than you need to work in the Private sec. or Tutoring to make extra money.Thats the way it is!Its too much for taxpayers to take on the back.When a teacher is driving home take a look at how many households are working extra,struggling to stay above ground do you think they should pay more in taxes.Your teachers not Corp.exec. sorry
Was going to rant about the shite conditions teachers are expected to work in, the crappy pay and the long arse hours we put in and don't get paid for. Was going to ask, what other profession puts up with 14 yo kids staring you in the face and uttering the words "Fuck you!", AND get away with it? But we only get about 400 characters to use...so, from a mentally damaged, once proud teacher - this video is DEFINITELY BEAUTIFUL.
My friends judge me so hard for wanting to become a teacher because I won't get paid a lot... Half of said friends don't even know what they want to major in in college.
All the people who say he is a bad teacher have clearly never experienced good teaching. This man is a great teacher! He's an inspiration! He speaks so directly to what being a teacher is all about and why it is one of the most difficult and rewarding professions in the world!
I don't mind this guy's passion. If this is really how he manages his students, good for him. But, we are far past the point where a few good teachers can fix what's ailing this country. It's way bigger than that now. People who do jobs like I do know it.
The teacher calls the parents of a student, saying that their kid stood up to someone (probably a bully) in defense of another student who was crying and obviously getting picked on for it: "Leave the kid alone, I still cry sometimes, don't you?" And it was the noblest act of courage the teacher had ever seen.
C+ can feel amazing to a kid who worked hard from having failing grades. And that A- can feel like an F to the "A+" student who didn't really give their best on an assignment.
This is called passion. If you are misinterpreting it as anything else, then you have never known passion yourself. I'd recommend finding something you can be this passionate about and spend your life doing it, regardless of the paycheck.
@falconhead67 if this guy is a loser, I wish all my teachers would have been this lousy. You falconhead67 are the epitome of somebody who just doesn't understand life and what's important. Getting kids to try harder and to not make brainless remarks as you just did is what good teachers do. If 67 stands for the year you were born, it's sad your life is wasted with this type of an outlook on people who really care and have passion for what they do. Or you're a 12 year old who doesn't know better.
A very genuine speech. Although I must admit, what he says isn't necessarily representative of how all teachers feel.
For every excellent teacher, there are 5 more that don't care. This isn't a problem inherent in the profession of teaching. This is just human nature.
The amount of people who clearly don't get what this guys is saying proves that the education system is failing.
I love this guy and I love teachers. Every teacher who has made me feel I failed for an A- is the teacher who pushed me to get that A+. I've done best for them. And really, people, this guy's not on a 'power trip'. He's just not dealing with bullshit.
He's talking about his response to people who disparage teachers, not how he is with the kids. I doubt a teacher with this much passion is actually a bad teacher.
You people try holding the attention of 30 little or 180 mid-sized kids all day plus teach them what they need to pass the damned tests the administration insists upon. With constant interruptions from the bad-behaved, answering questions from the slower learners, adding challenges for the more advanced, all in 40 minute increments.
@spellwight Agreed....you could tell it was a dramatic retelling because we can't say no to kids if they ask to go to the bathroom and they know it. In my district, we teachers believe we can say no (if we feel the child is lying) because we have a passing period after every class but we've been told that we do so at our on peril. We've been told that if a kid asks to go to the bathroom several times in one period, or all kids ask to go in turn, we must allow it each time. That's admin for ya.
I dunno, the most memorable and effective teachers in my past have not been those who "make" anything, but rather those who "mentor" and "inspire" -- verbs that notably missing in said video.
@deanpeters1 Well that wouldn't really fit the set-up for the joke, now would it? Maybe try not being so literal and stop looking for ways to nit-pick and miss the point.
To all the idiots: I don't know a single teacher that WANTS the awful pay, or WANTS to deal with your horribly spoiled children, or WANTS to deal with arrogant parents that cannot spell to save their lives like yourself, but I do know that every teacher I have ever come into contact with has wanted to make a difference in a child's life for the better. All of you who think otherwise should try being genuinely selfless sometime, although judging by your responses, it will be extremely difficult.
@msrebelnardcore No. My comment was in response to your comment where you accused Matt Damon of being a crappy teacher. I pointed out your retardidity and you responded with more nonsense that has nothing to do with this clip. I suggest you go back to school and start all over again because you make as much sense as a Palin child.
@madest one thing I've learned, if someone has to lower themselves be a grammar Nazi about shorthand typing on youtube, they have already lost any arrangement they may have been making. enjoy your teaching job, I'm glad you like it.
@MrRogueblades I think the reason a lot of us don't have respect for the profession is because, in college, we see our peers going for education because "it's easier" than their other degree options. We see, during our elementary and high school education, that most of us did not have teachers as passionate as this guy. We see that a lot of teachers take the job "for summers off." Make the pay performance based, and I guarantee we see more people like this guy come out of the woodwork.
Next time you find an education major at your local college, take a survey and let us know how many of them say they want to go into the field "to make a difference in children's lives." Then tell us how many of them you really believe meant that.
The field is easy hours, decent time off, and average pay for not a whole lot of effort.
I really do not understand why people have so little respect for this profession. As a primary source of socialization, and perhaps, one of the most necessary careers in human history, you'd think more people would realize it's importance...
Why is everyone feeding the troll (TurkeyProphet)? This person is not from the USA - her profile says "United Kingdom." @TurkeyProphet - here's a suggestion - spoken in a language you can easily digest - why don't you shut your festering gob and concern yourself with your own education system, you insufferable git? ;)
@spambox1971 It's not my job to sort out education in any country. In fact there are few things I could care less about. I'm just bored on my day off, sharing my opinion. I know in America you don't really care about this but in Britain we like to utilise our freedom of speech.
I'm also pretty sure the points the guys makes stretch across the pond. Maybe get off the internet if you only want to concern yourself with home affairs.
@Komosayuynah I can respect that. I am a daughter of a single mother as well. You do have to remember, it is that much harder to motivate the students with out parent support. Education begins in the home. I agree that reforms need to be made in the education system here to help parents and teachers work together to motivate students but just putting the whole blame on teachers isn't going to solve anything. Both sides need to work together.
@Komosayuynah Have you tried to teach? I personally feel that everyone should have to teach once because then we don't get people who think teachers don't do their jobs or that its easy. Maybe then you will understand
It's not so much that the teaching is easy. It's that teachers complain a lot considering they get at least 2 months a year off and only have to work 6 hour days, 5 days a week. Even then they get a massive lunch break, free periods and always get weekends and always have very sociable hours.
Lots of people get nowhere near the pay a teacher gets and yet will never go on strike in their entire lives.
@TurkeyProphet You don't know any teachers do you. I mean how could you if you think any of what you just said was an accurate description of the work load put on teachers.
@cbird54 Actually both my parents are teachers. But that doesn't make me qualified to judge. However what I have outlined IS the basic description of teacher's workload. Yeah, so they have to do loads of marking and blah blah blah. Fact is they still have very good hours and holidays. You guys say everyone should try to teach? How about you get a job where you spend your entire in some shitty enviroment with 2 hours free to wash and eat in a the entire day.
@TurkeyProphet First of all a GOOD teacher usually doesn't leave until about 5 or 6pm to work on papers, help students etc. What do you mean by massive Lunch breaks? An hour? That's normal for most salary jobs. Most salary jobs also only work 5 days a week. Yes, I will give you they don't work in the summer. But most need a summer job to pay the bills. Teachers get the shit end of the stick, and it's perfectly normal for them to stand up for themselves. Again I say, have you ever taught?
@swimbananas09 I can only speak for British schools but every teacher gets at least 1 hour and 20 minutes a day of break time for a 6 hour job! I work 11 hours a day and get half an hour break! Teachers get A LOT of benefits and yet they still moan. I'm not saying they have an easy job because I wouldn't want to do it, but they need to pull their heads out of their asses and see how most of the world really lives.
Have you ever worked 11 hours a day, 6 days a week?
@TurkeyProphet Car salesman work more hours then you a week. Try working 12 hours a day 6 days a week. So don't act like you are in some obscure sect of hard work that no one else is in. I doubt you have ever been a teacher so please stop giving opinions on what they should be saying.
@simonandlewis4life I know plenty of people that work harder than me. One of the guys I work with does a 20 hour shift and I don't really know how he stays alive. I know reading comprehension must be difficult for you but I didn't claim to be in some hard sect of society. In fact I claimed to be one of the billions of other people in the world that don't have the benefits a teacher does.
Clearly you've done the educators of the world proud.
@TurkeyProphet Actually yes. I currently work 3 jobs for of 60-70 hours a week 6-7 days a week. (Depending on the week) and teachers do have great benefits. Its part of the offset for the $20,000 starting pay they receive. (That's US money- after they have their bachelors degree and most have a masters degree)
@swimbananas09 Thanks for clarifying. I was wondering what that strange symbol in front of the numbers was. I'm not claiming I work hard (actually I know I don't, I'm just working as many hours as I can for a few months then I'll be back on the road not working) however I am claiming it's extremely arrogant of a teacher to suggest everyone must teach before they can tell you to shut the fuck up. Having only ever been in the education system, teachers are the ones who need to understand.
@TurkeyProphet Lol, This is a tremendously warped perception of a teacher's schedule.
Many teachers cannot afford to simply take the summer off, so they are forced to take a second job or teach summer school. Second, ask any teacher about their daily workload. Many will tell you that they arrive to school hours in advance of classes actually starting to prepare for the day. They are also forced to take their work home with them and put in long hours (of their free time) preparing lessons. Quite
@MrRogueblades Ask anybody about their daily workload and they will cry about having to do work. Many teachers will sit around in one of their waster lessons marking the work and yet will still never be prepared for the work. And yet in most other occupations they would just get fired for not being ready. If a lawyer came in hung over, saying I didn't really get your case together, just do this worksheet whilst I figure it out he would be immediately fired..
@MrRogueblades Thanks for the defense! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am a teacher and you are spot on. I work Overtime at home when I bring work home and I don't even get paid extra for that... I'm at work at 6am when classes start at 8.00am. Every day I only leave work at 6pm and then I still bring work home. I may have holidays but what do I do during holidays? I have to grade papers and do all sorts of admin work. So thank you for saying what you said.
@jlel Of course! I was studying to become a teacher but I got fed up with the bureaucracy and changed in my major this summer (of my senior year) . You have to have an superhuman level of patience to put up with the system, as well as children. This is something I found lacking in my personality. I have nothing but respect and admiration for the men and women who essentially made me into the person I am today. Gravely underpaid and horribly overworked. You would have to be insane to be a teacher
Some people are motivated by money. Some people are motivated by being creative. Some people are motivated by making a difference in the life of a child. There is a need for all types of people in society, but why can't those motivated by making a difference be monetarily rewarded for their nobility?
wow this guy is right, i hate how people judge other people on how much money they make, the real thing you need to do is make a difference, well spoken!!
Does the same go for people who aspire to be pre-school and kindergarten teachers? Nothing says "I'm just doing this as a hobby until I get knocked up" like earning a teaching degree to babysit preschoolers
@teeejuice Preschool teachers can make a huge difference. They can help children grow in confidence and self worth (not to mention reading n writing). The child may not remember, but the value is there, the input massive. A child's life can be turned around with the right words and approach. All teachers are undervalued, just check out the posts on here.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is what is wrong with teaching, this guy postures like a douchebag about how he makes kids tremble in his kiddie prison making them learn largely useless facts that they will mostly never use again. He's on a power trip, wallowing in his role of authoritarian over these poor kids. If there is anything that needs to change about education it's institutions that allow people like him to exist.
You judge a man by his posture. I'll judge a man by his ignorance. Your interpretation of his spoken word is indescribably retarded. He's telling thelawyer that that he can give children ambition whether it's a C+ or an A. He calls the parents of one of his students, saying that their kid stood up to him in class to protect another student AND HE THOUGHT IT WAS A NOBLE. Mali is not on a power trip you condescending sack of shit. Why don't you fucking listen.
@toober96 Hey toober, I just wanted to let you know I'm giving you the thumbs up. Not cause I agree with you, but because when you bury the most foolish comment on the page, nobody else gets to learn from it.
If every teacher in America had half of this guy's enthusiasm, we probably wouldn't be behind Finland, Korea, the Netherlands, Japan, Canada, etc, in education. I know teachers that like to get up in the morning, and make a difference, and I also know teachers that like to file their nails while kids mindlessly go through a times table worksheet.
@Mikevsthesystem Disagreed. The right wing and those who attack teachers for being 'pompous government workers' are sabotaging one of the most stressful jobs in America. Also, the excessive examinations and overcrowding and lack of funding for schools is not the teachers' fault. But I thought it was common knowledge. I guess not.
Teachers should not be attacked or accused. They should be encouraged to do better and get better support.

On top of this: They are defended by by the most influential union, have the easiest 4 year degree to obtain, and good benefits.
They then cry about their jobs, which basically amounts to baby sitting and spitting out predetermined curriculum, because no one calls them out on it.

Who the hell are you to tell any parent who their kids "really" are? You have them for what, 5 hours a week? Am I glad to be educating my kids at home! They will pursue that which they have a passion for...and will thrive in that. Something you, sir, care not about for my children. Unless of course, it happens to be the subject you teach, which considering all the arts that are cut, it's highly unlikely that my children would thrive in your classroom. It's MY job to educate them, not yours!

You educate your kids, and as a teacher, I can't tell you how glad I am that you know that educating your kids is YOUR job, because 95% of parents I encounter spend less than 5 hours a day with their kids, (which is less than what we spend with them in a day).
I am a teacher, I might even homeschool my kids if I can, and don't tell me you don't get judged as well for doing that, so...Regadless of what you say, you are also a teacher in the end.

Explained:
The teacher calls the parents of a student, saying that their kid stood up to someone (probably a bully) in defense of another student who was crying and obviously getting picked on for it: "Leave the kid alone, I still cry sometimes, don't you?" And it was the noblest act of courage the teacher had ever seen.
C+ can feel amazing to a kid who worked hard from having failing grades. And that A- can feel like an F to the "A+" student who didn't really give their best on an assignment.

He's talking about his response to people who disparage teachers, not how he is with the kids. I doubt a teacher with this much passion is actually a bad teacher.
You people try holding the attention of 30 little or 180 mid-sized kids all day plus teach them what they need to pass the damned tests the administration insists upon. With constant interruptions from the bad-behaved, answering questions from the slower learners, adding challenges for the more advanced, all in 40 minute increments.

@spellwight Agreed....you could tell it was a dramatic retelling because we can't say no to kids if they ask to go to the bathroom and they know it. In my district, we teachers believe we can say no (if we feel the child is lying) because we have a passing period after every class but we've been told that we do so at our on peril. We've been told that if a kid asks to go to the bathroom several times in one period, or all kids ask to go in turn, we must allow it each time. That's admin for ya.

@MrRogueblades I think the reason a lot of us don't have respect for the profession is because, in college, we see our peers going for education because "it's easier" than their other degree options. We see, during our elementary and high school education, that most of us did not have teachers as passionate as this guy. We see that a lot of teachers take the job "for summers off." Make the pay performance based, and I guarantee we see more people like this guy come out of the woodwork.

Next time you find an education major at your local college, take a survey and let us know how many of them say they want to go into the field "to make a difference in children's lives." Then tell us how many of them you really believe meant that.

@Komosayuynah I can respect that. I am a daughter of a single mother as well. You do have to remember, it is that much harder to motivate the students with out parent support. Education begins in the home.

Both sides need to work together.

@swimbananas09
It's not so much that the teaching is easy. It's that teachers complain a lot considering they get at least 2 months a year off and only have to work 6 hour days, 5 days a week. Even then they get a massive lunch break, free periods and always get weekends and always have very sociable hours.
Lots of people get nowhere near the pay a teacher gets and yet will never go on strike in their entire lives.

@cbird54 Actually both my parents are teachers. But that doesn't make me qualified to judge. However what I have outlined IS the basic description of teacher's workload.

How about you get a job where you spend your entire in some shitty enviroment with 2 hours free to wash and eat in a the entire day.
TurkeyProphet 6 months ago
@TurkeyProphet First of all a GOOD teacher usually doesn't leave until about 5 or 6pm to work on papers, help students etc. What do you mean by massive Lunch breaks? An hour? That's normal for most salary jobs. Most salary jobs also only work 5 days a week. Yes, I will give you they don't work in the summer. But most need a summer job to pay the bills. Teachers get the shit end of the stick, and it's perfectly normal for them to stand up for themselves. Again I say, have you ever taught?
swimbananas09 6 months ago
@swimbananas09 I can only speak for British schools but every teacher gets at least 1 hour and 20 minutes a day of break time for a 6 hour job! I work 11 hours a day and get half an hour break! Teachers get A LOT of benefits and yet they still moan. I'm not saying they have an easy job because I wouldn't want to do it, but they need to pull their heads out of their asses and see how most of the world really lives.
Have you ever worked 11 hours a day, 6 days a week?

@swimbananas09 Thanks for clarifying. I was wondering what that strange symbol in front of the numbers was. I'm not claiming I work hard (actually I know I don't, I'm just working as many hours as I can for a few months then I'll be back on the road not working) however I am claiming it's extremely arrogant of a teacher to suggest everyone must teach before they can tell you to shut the fuck up. Having only ever been in the education system, teachers are the ones who need to understand.
TurkeyProphet 6 months ago
@TurkeyProphet Lol, This is a tremendously warped perception of a teacher's schedule.
Many teachers cannot afford to simply take the summer off, so they are forced to take a second job or teach summer school. Second, ask any teacher about their daily workload. Many will tell you that they arrive to school hours in advance of classes actually starting to prepare for the day. They are also forced to take their work home with them and put in long hours (of their free time) preparing lessons. Quite
MrRogueblades 6 months ago 14
@MrRogueblades Ask anybody about their daily workload and they will cry about having to do work. Many teachers will sit around in one of their waster lessons marking the work and yet will still never be prepared for the work. And yet in most other occupations they would just get fired for not being ready. If a lawyer came in hung over, saying I didn't really get your case together, just do this worksheet whilst I figure it out he would be immediately fired..
