Maybe teachers should never gone down the path of clowns. The world turned up side down. People forget that learning and being educated is a privilege not a punishment. It's the learners' interest. Now teachers are entertaining clowns and babysitters with a degree. Boredom is not the worst thing that can happen to a child. It induces creativity.

@MelindaGarrett-k4d I Love history. Will be lost without it and how we will get here without the written history.

Thank you for your humility! You are an awesome teacher! Many wonderful blessings to you!

I also wanted to know what happened to the man in the cave

It can be positive and it can be used for evil take your pick who you're going to be

I’ve been an educator most of my life and career. I now train not only teachers but teachers that train teachers. This is the secret, just care. Everything else can be taught but this is the one thing no one can teach you, you need to look deep inside you and uncover it. It’s always been there.

no joke i cried halfway through this video. Thank you for inspiring a new generation of teachers :)

It's only been 2 months since I started teaching, I'm teaching English in an NGO in India. I've been not doing anything from last 8-9 years (that is when I had finished my graduation). Yesterday I felt so panicked, when a senior class student just came to me (even though I'm not her teacher, I just teach 9th standard) and asked me the meaning of an English word. And I just felt like I knew what it means but I was doubtful, and gave her the wrong answer. But I even mentioned with it that I'm not sure, I'm confused. But I'm so so embarrassed, students discuss all this, and my image is probably a joke now. I encourage everyone to interact in English but this will be judged as hypocrisy probably now. Well, the word was 'demented' and I said that 'it means damaged but I'm confused'. I'm so so sooo embarrassed. I hope the student forgets this whole incident. 😢

I love this! I incorporate music into my classes as well. I use "walk-up" music for every class period that's related to the AP unit. For example, on day one, students walk into class serenaded by Billy Joel's Allentown. I also have a curated playlist that plays in the background between narratives, featuring songs like Devo's Working in the Coal Mine, Bruce Springsteen's Death to My Hometown, Wrecking Ball, and We Take Care of Our Own, Jethro Tull's Locomotive Breath, and The Beatles' Revolution. It really adds to the atmosphere!

Thank you!! I need this today

that was the most beautiful thing i have heard from a teacher you just made my day!😺

Chills 😭 (Mom)

This happened to me once too! Teaching community college, I was having a bad day and forgot the plan. But after they corrected me, I went on, and in the end it was OK.

The way you talk inspires me😮

I’m deeply moved. I’m a teacher too, and this is a struggle I go through as well. I tend to be rigid, always thinking about how I can make my students happy and how to help them go from not understanding to understanding. I’m constantly worried they won’t grasp what I’m teaching, and it stresses me out-a lot. But after watching your video, I feel inspired again to try my best.

Lmao I can't study for my life, I procrastinate way too much and during class I'm writing all these notes but they just don't click. I feel as if I listen and try to understand but if you talk to me 2 hours later about the class, I won't be able to answer. I know I can read my American pageant textbook but how do I actually learn from it and apply it to tests? I can note take but then aren't I just writing that to memorize it?

What if the pace doesn't allow them to finish?

the only class i ever got consistently amazing grades in was in history class ive just always been so interested in it, watching this to maybe open up some doors in the future as a teacher

Such a well done video. Bravo!!

I really needed this. Thank you for such an inspiring story. God bless 🎉

To study I use flash cards which I know probably isn’t the best but hey it kinda works

I’m a third grade teacher and our daily schedule is sooooo jammed packed with stuff to cover, teach, and do. I needed to hear this. Now, I’m going to do my best to give my kids a moment to just ask me questions about whatever they want to spark something other than academics. Even for little 3rd graders. So, to you sir, thanks for the spark.

On the day when my teaching fail, that's the day that I became a teacher that I wanted to be... beautiful sentence. beatiful ending. i enjoyed this video very much. Thank you. i kinda almost skipped thru' but i am glad i didnt. Gives me hope for the years to come for me to continue as an educator~

I am making this into an app I intend to launch utilizing reddit

Is the art of lecturing compatible With modern technology to extend human knowledge its self (or) instead of say clearly unbalanced trend elements effectively dulling the blade (the mind itself) beliefs as over belief have stretching in to the most distant past had and are having a serious effect on our culminative through-put in any vain of modern academic discourse and what was before for exemplified by the early church after Constantine and summarily charlimange (I can’t spell) stretching down to the inquisition on heliocentric study this also as example of effects and are ironically & noticeable weirdly opposed to what I guess I now I coin universentrism to be pointed out with the joxdapose of the anthropomorphism there in found in syfi fiction scientific thought to the modern npc’s as new gods disconnected from what these words once ment and any thing they could ever mean, as we are from the obvious fact that life is not only alien from the earth it is alien. another way to say this is it’s an inlayed allusion to the fact of (a bio genesis) and that all life in universe is not only alien to us but rather a good example of them are us and the rest of life here on earth of us and all life in universe is alien to any and every thing the universe is hence why all the entropy and the simple fact of its hostilities to life its self did these words once ment I wonder yet from our imagination and being the narrative inversion as in zombies in film and all of this I say to you truly truly is noticeable at this point for sure…because there centralized and limited simply because we have yet to expand the art of true lecturing through modern technology I mean quite frankly and in the most literal sense I.e. by definition this would balance the ever present effects of what I refer to as trend thought or hunger thinking simply by voiding the over bearing effects of conformation bias think about it also bear it though too production for not just academic subjects but subject itself

Wow... Thank you. I am preparing a Presentation for The Daughters of the American Revolution and I came across Videos... So Helpfull. Have a Wonderful New Year.

very smart video thank you sir!

Which version do you use- just the lists of what to draw- or the storyline? Do they take notes as they go??Does it include how long to give them each round???

The link isn't the right one...

I really needed this today. This is my 4th day teaching 9th grade biology for the first time ever (right before mid terms). Thank you for sharing

Fantasy

This helped! Gracias!

i left teaching 7 years ago and listening to this made me tear up, recalling all of the wonderful kids and conversations we had during calculus, geometry, trig, whatever we had to learn that day. thanks. those were good moments.

Your videos have made me feel so much relief as a new teacher

I know this is an older video but I've watched several of your videos in the past two days and I feel like the most inadequate teacher ever (I'm a first year teacher so it's kind of true). I hope to get closer to your level one day.

This is the teacher I wish to be with Photography.

YAY!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I hated history for so many years until I connected culture to history, then I loved history. Yes, relative importance to dates.

sooo nice!

I like the message, however, I wonder why do some teachers give so much homework? A lot of times is not even rigorous, is it just to ensure the students are reading? Also, why do academic advisors not limit the number of AP classes a child can take? From some comments here and from my experience as a mother of a student who wants to strive for excellence, it seems like teachers know that taking three or four AP classes is too much.

Thats awesome man. What a wonderful story. For me it makes me think about how unrefined and simply messed up our education system is. To think that kids go through 8 periods every single day with every single one of those periods doing the exact opposite of what you described doing. I mean they are so much lacking in authenticity around them. That shit is not healthy. That shit makes you crazy. And then we don’t know what home environment they go home to either. They sit still in a brick building for 8 hours, they’re treated like shit and then their teachers act like robots and treat their students like robots. All day they learn about math, science, but never get to ask whats on their mind, or converse in creative ways, hell when do they get to be a person

This is a dangerous game to play. Breaking down the traditional boundaries of student and teacher must be done at your own paril. I've seen other do it before and have been tempted to do it myself. Those who buldoze through are almost always narcissistic types praying upon the easily won love of children. It's a simple trick and it pays off well. You can very quickly conjure up a cult of 100+ followers. I, as much as all of you good teachers here, desire to be a good influence on the children who come through my class. But be fucking careful with this kind of thing and watch the teacher who does this like a hawk.

That happened to me one time. Our topic was about system integration and I am giving them an analogy about one hub and spoke. I tell them that there has to be a middle guy every time there is passing of information between groups, or else the police will come right after them. then yadda yadda, I provide the relevance of middle guy in explanation. then one student ask me, "what happened to the police?", "I tell them I made that up so they can understand why there is a middleware in hub and spoke". Gosh, not me thinking I got their interest hahahaha

Wow. Resonates with me. I was the main speaker at a camp a few months back. First two sessions went good. The third session, i felt prepared and did the same it with the same intensity but i just felt things were not working well. I went back and felt drained and confused. I still had to speak the next day and i was doubting whether I was able to do it or not. I had my materials ready but I didnt want to just add more. So instead of just doing what i would normally do, I started my session talking about my doubts, my fears and just letting them into the struggles I faced. Suddenly I felt a surge of energy, I felt I was connecting with the crowd and I knew what to talk about. That last session went really good, better than I expected and I got people interacting. Vulnerability can lead to more better possibility and results. I was speaking to people in a drug rehab centre. Maybe they need people to be authentic rather than just performing. I think this applies to many teaching situations. Glad I found you channel! Great content. You gained a new subscriber.

This is the kind of teacher I would love to become. Although I've always wanted to pursue a music career and that idea fills me with pure joy, my heart also wants to become that figure of support and guidance for students and inspire people to become a better version of themselves. I still have one semester left of my English teaching bachelor and I dont know how my life will turn out at the end. Either way, I just want to add value to people's lives whether if it's through my music or by being the best teacher I can.

THANK YOU!!! This helps so much. Near the end of my first semester doing dual credit EMT and they aren’t reading the text book and it shows. But few have a chance of passing the national test. This gives me hope to help them succeed in the spring.
