I had to help facilitate a meeting for a room full of administrators (I'm a teacher working in our school improvement office). We watched some dopey video about differentiation and all I could think about was watching THIS video last night. I wish I could have shown them this one instead!
WASSUP YALL MY NAMES JULIAN AND I RUN A CHANNEL CALLED "TRENDNTOPICZVLOGZ" RECENTLY I'VE BEEN GAINING ALOT OF ATTENTION FROM MY FUNNY VIDEOS I ACTUALLY MADE AN XTRANORMAL SHORT CALLED "KRABBY KRABZ ADVENTURE PART 1 & 2) I KNO IT MAY SOUND STUPID BUT ITS ACTUALLY VERY FUNNY. IF U GUYS CUD TAKE THE TIME OUT TO VIEW MY CHANNEL AND OTHER FUNNY VIDEOS I WUD APPRECIATE IT THANK YOU! SUBSCRIBE!
I'm a teacher and a colleague recommended this video to me because he thought it was hilarious. After watching it, I realized that I couldn't laugh, because it's too true. It hit really close to home. You did a great job of illustrating the total absurdity that teachers must deal with every day.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Either way, job well done.
How about the word "responsibility"? Yes, teachers are responsible for presenting the information (in, whenever possible, an engaging way). BUT, students are responsible for making an effort to learn, and parents are responsible for guiding their children. If the parents -- or some parental figures -- do not guide, the children miss the life lesson of developing responsibility. The education cycle does NOT start and end with teachers and schools; it starts and ends at home.
It's interesting how much the US education system fails in reinventing itself in order to keep up with the rest of the world. All of these failed attempts, of course, come at the teachers' expense. Look at how successful education runs in other parts of the world. Teachers are paid a high, competitive salary and the kids come to listen, read, learn, an write; not to be entertained. Instead of coming up with different worthless chores for teachers to do, that do not work. There is no incentive t
@kmsiraheta: ...to be a teacher anymore. No salary increases (5 year freeze for me) we now have to pay for our benefits ($70 copayment at the doctors on top of paying $25/month out of my paycheck), and no time off (I worked 6:45-6:00 every day, yes Fridays too in order to keep up with my duties). Just keep these details in mind when it comes to November 2012 and when you have to interact with teachers. (Sorry not enough room on an cell phone post).
A bizarre depiction that contributes to the mechanistic entrenched environment, which is what a majority of the public education system has devolved to. If there was point being made, I did not get it. What I perceived was a teaching 'robot' being 'evaluated' (read confronted) by another supervising 'robot'; a perfect description of what education has become. Differentiated Instruction was not done any justice by this rendition. Maybe using 'people' instead of robots might be more realistic.
@doulos100 If you did not get the point, then you must be studid. I hope that you find my insult 'fun.' Do you want me to differentiate it, though, so that you can understand.
Okay, here goes: you (that's you) are (are) stupid (stupid). Just read each word in turn. If you come to a word that you have never encountered before, ride a pony and do some finger-painting. Remember to differentiate the pony. Also, remember that some ponies are working-class; so they will be stupid, like you.
Since the enactment of NCLB all schools in America are suddenly required to have an average yearly progress based on test scores. School districts have to jump through these hoops because they took the money from the government. The government can't even run itself what makes us think that they know how to run schools. If school districts were smart they would tell the government to take their ideas & shove them where the sun don't shine and let teachers do what they do best, teach!
Accountability is more effective than finger pointing. Can we all agree teachers should be held accountable for teaching, students for learning, and parents for parenting?
Teachers are paid for their part, so theirs is a professional standard. Likewise, students should be held to a standard based on age/ability. It makes no sense to expect a 1st grade student to pay attention to a 1-hour lecture. And a cornerstone of parenting is preparing their children for adult life including teaching.

Very funny (and engaging) video! Sad to say, but some kids today just don't care about their education and carry this attitude into the classroom. Could be these students have parents that must work more than one job, have abandoned them, beat them, don't want to participate in their lives, might be in prison, and just cannot be there for whatever reason. The teacher is the next in line to build character, as well as be engaging even in mundane subjects such as parts of speech.
@n4mu2b Thanks- I really appreciate your comment, especially the second time you posted it with a minor change:) The state in which many kids live in is quite sad. It's also sad that many people discard parents' accountability for raising decent people and place it on teachers. Foster parenting is one thing, teaching is quite another. Again, thanks for both of your comments!
@majiomae I like this video a lot. I do agree with a previous post that the teacher does not say why the parts of speech are important. However, the rest of the video is good. To me, it seems as though it shows the struggles that many teachers now face.

How many adminibuzzwords have I had to "embrace" over the years, for the sake of fulfilling the latest district initiative, at the expense of time to prepare lessons that were truly excellent?
KIDS: School isn't supposed to be fun. Suck it up and work.
PARENTS: School isn't supposed to be fun. Give us kids who have self-respect and self-discipline.
ADMINISTRATORS: Stop pushing edufads on your staff. Get to know your teachers and honor their real exellence.
I'm not a teacher, but I enjoyed this video. My mother is a math teacher, and for years I have watched her try new ways to present the information to the students, and incentives to get them engaged and retain the materials. I guess if we want to get the students engaged and retain the materials presented, teachers are going to have to text or post the lesson on Facebook. **Much respect to the educators!!**

Our school just won a grant. The teachers were excited, we thought of all the things we were going to do to help the students who were behind. Instead a guy from KY, who told jokes, gave us a large binder of badly runoff stuff he had obviously stolen. We got a lady who told us the best way to teach math was to quit having the kids think on deep problems and basic skills and read magazine articles about numbers. They hired a guy who said we needed to stop and offer help to kids, he got fired.
ROTFL: This is So True! For those missing the point, the "it was fun" is about engagement and motivation. Somehow, we don't have a way to make the learning, itself, engaging. The actual content is presented in very boring ways, & ponies, pudding, &finger painting are frosting on the cardboard cake to try to generate some engagement &motivation. But without completing the cycle, without the talking, writing, &elaborative reading, the content is just not going to stick. Thanks, majiomae, I roared.
To the Australian teacher...If you guys are taking your lead from NYC schools...RUN! Many of the ideas that are given do not work.
To the maker of this video, this is hilarious. As a teacher, I completely understand this. To those NOT in the profession, teaching has become a horse and pony show, having to prove that we, as professionals, know what's best. Memorization is outdated, and students are encouraged to work together, NOT independently. LOVE THIS VIDEO!
This is such a great bit. The comedic timing is perfect. Data is everything these days. Remember the phrase "Garbage in, garbage out"? That's what we see every day.
Continuation - ask any teacher in a major urban area about how many parents attend the parent teacher conferences. Schools can not fix the breakdown in a family values. This is a serious US national problem and should be part of every discussion!
Somehow you have all missed the point - parts of speech is just an example being used to illustrate the absuridity of differentiating teaching instruction. I am not a teacher and my children have completed their education. A serious problem in the US is the lack of accountability on the part of parents and students. Parents and students are just as responsible for their learning and everyone is tip toeing around this.
You are right. Parents are failing their children. Most would never consider themselves to be the primary teacher of their own children; however, that's exactly what they are. When a student is doing poorly in school, blame usually falls on the teacher first, then the student, and lastly, the parents. In my experience, the parents should be questioned first about what they are doing to educate their child in support of the school system, not last.
@mfdberlin A local high school is about to be taken over and the principal has decided that having students use 20minutes to take daily tests, 30 minutes of basic skills on a computer and 10minutes of instruction is the correct way to teach Algebra. He thinks that is diff Instr since he only knows read 180.
I sure do. Human folly held up to scorn or ridicule. I suppose this fits the broad definition. My comment that the satire failed was more a reference to the poor quality of the satire.
Good satire is a rapier. It is swift, subtle, surgical. This is a mallet. That it is used to beat a farcical straw-man fails to impress I'm afraid.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad you all seemed to enjoy it... If only the folly had been less of a caricature the scorn may have been a little sharper.
Not an admin. I'm a teacher. Perhaps there's a cultural gap in that I'm in Australia and this seems to be designed for the US system. If things are this bad over there then you have my sympathies, but we're getting our lead from you guys (particularly NY) so I'm pretty aware of the theories being espoused.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The teacher is terrible.
Doesn't explain why parts of speech are important.
Singing and dancing and pudding and crap to make it fun?
I know this is not genuine, but satire only works if it bears some semblance to reality and we only sympathise with the teacher drone if there's some sympathetic quality to him.
If he can't explain why they are studying parts of speech and he doesn't value the study of parts of speech why should his students?
I agree with your point that if the teacher doesn't value studying parts of speech, why should his students... but I still think this is HILARIOUS. I know it's cliche, but I really did laugh out loud. My two favorite parts: "We don't care about parts of speech" and "I paid with my own money...I sold one of my kidneys." The monotone voices make it even funnier.
@R3d9um you missed the whole point. It was satire yes, comedy of the absurd, to show what teachers do every day and the fact that all accountability is put on the teacher's shoulders. No matter how far they go, when the test scores drop, it is always the teacher's fault. Teachers are under attack in this country and it really isn't fair. Pay cuts and benefits dropped don't make the profession look too inviting but we stay and we teach and we parent and yes, I even feed my students at times.
Fantastic!!
