This 10-minute video is a tribute to my favorite high school teacher, Mr. Cappucci, who has taught high school math continuously since 1957. He is an absolute legend. I met with him recently and he told me that he has gotten far better as a math teacher than when I was in his class 30 years ago.
At that time, he was considered the best teacher in the school.

  • Thanks, Phil. This is a great tribute.

    And Mr. Cappucci, you may be interested to know that I too became a math teacher (in a very circuitous mannner) and have taught high school, middle school, and community college. I had a lot of fun in your classes. You have inspired so many of us.

  • As a teacher, I know how thrilling this must be for Mr. Cappucci. My feeling is that YOU touch a lot of lives yourself!!!!

    Nancy :D

  • you are a good guy Phil

  • Phil, I can fully relate to your story about Mr. Cappucci. I myself had a teacher for 11th and 12th grade English, Mr. Wyrick, who was been one of the biggest influences on my life and defintely the best teacher i ever had.

    He used many of the same techniques you described here, and if not for his early recognition of my talents for writing and English, i may not be on the same path i am today. I wouldn't even be the same person really, if not for his guidance and everthing he taught me.

  • Mr. Cappucci sounds like an excellent teacher! I would love to meet him. I teach mathematics and I would enjoy speaking with this influential teacher. As educators, our task is to not only teach facts or theorems, but also to AFFECT students' lives, hopefully in positive ways. Mr. Cappucci has clearly affected your life. My best wishes.

    Regards, -Michael C. Miller, Mathematics Teacher
