[@jeansloan2945]

What a beautiful way to get children to express themselves and feel like they contribute...excellent teaching method. A great way to show kids they are special.....

[@michaelclapper4411]

Its been happening for generations. Her being famous doesnt make it special. The song is special i agree to that. And no plan b. Well if she brought up Jesus Christ in her life in that part or any id agree. If sje can say heaven she can say who makes that feeling possible to her personally. I had a music teacher in 5th grade. Sunny lowe. Saw through a lot of pain in me to say the least. While elders till he said adhd she said i was the most anolitical minded person she met in a long time. As to contributing, a chorus of children only songing the corus they were not allowed to contribute enough in my oppinion. In the class i mention from my past student sung the lead. I got asked to do them every time but also backed out at the last moment. Shy and didnt feel worthy for few besides one teacher ever told me my potential for right.but also pointed to the one i felt would sing it better. The lead in a play. Ah but i always had a plan b and miss lowe let me. Lights instead. Just as important in a play i think. The best acting, if the spotlight is all over will mayhaps be laughed at and harm the actors self worth inside. But i grew pride just fine without the limelight. Arts are great but then there was the standardinzed tests if the day. Told me i was suppsed to be in 12th grade or better by 5th grade. Well that just made me angry they held me back in first grade. I graduated and have a Spiritually happy and fat insude 19 year old daughter. Not mad now. But i dont forget and can say i understand why at least some end up on dark cloths amd neglected and dejected lashout. Everyteacher after 7th grade reacted in spite to me not applyong myself to honors classes. Why should i validate your system? I pass your tests. Move ke up if im so smart. You say i understand already so i should write longer papers for homework? For a career in culinary arts? I should have done better, but also what plan a student has after graduation should matter. Highschool we ran a public restaurant. The teachers taught. We planned the menu, ordered the food. did food cost. Only thong we didnt learn is labor budgetting. Learned that managing a restaurnt as a senior. But also for poor teachong by paremts and school about sex and the spiritual aspects of waiting till mareage my daughter was born in the midst of my finals week senior year as well. My daughters mother was a year ahead and already graduated. But there was a girl in my class that got pregnant over the summer. Teachers expected the same from us as the rest of the students. She graduated, saddly i saw she lost friends that didnt judge me the same way they did her, we were not aquainted as i moved to that state and started at the beginingof12 grade. As important as the student is the teacher. this guy in video started a debate for nothing. at least he addmited his mistake. Teams in chorus? That doesnt lead to harmony but can harm friendships. Life is one long conversation with stuff in the middle. Also true is a picture sets an example. She could have worn a long sleeve shirt. I have a tatoo, but when i teach children if it is visual to them i explain wouldn't waste the time and other reasons why lifes is more important than ink. Seeing tatoos is what led to me giving myself one in 7th grade. That it turned out well and simetrical doesn't make it good to my eye now. But also as to plan b. life gave me lemons and at 32 i changed jobs to cabenetry and granite fabrication/instalation. A 6 year break from plan a. If school hepped with the issues pride leads to that come from self esteem and neglect of carong what children think for themselves mixed together, well im not mad about that either. I could build a house now and carrying grantite kitchen counters through three story windows off a forklift with a 18 in gap addressed my hieght fears. Divided lessons. My daughter took spanish. Would have been 4 years. Only class she ever dropped. Her school had two teachers. One taught year one and year three. Year four teacher taught and expected what year three lessons didn't inform for. Infighting over which teacher should set the tone for a mucic pun to relate. Kiley still took it further her firat year in colledge. Also true is what could have been free and finished(more than 50 percent of student failed or dropped that class coming from as in advanced spanish 3 the year before)if she just stuck to plan a. She wouldnt have graduation with all a all four years. Teachers that honor students as adults should be respected and honored, all teachers should be respected. Some should get more lessons. Also true is even the ones that told me i was less than for my laziness, every year told me i should be a teacher. some accepted my lessons. Some got angry. Dont tell me i should teach then lol. I do now but not in school. Used to in sunday school same age as the videobefore i moved.

[@michaelclapper4411]

@@marcinmalolepszy1164 well said to the heart of your reply. Though ot is parents and schools combimed that make children act lole kids at any age on america at least. (Goats have kids) a pun but true. But my point is to your words of Children being the future. I say often whitney wrote a Gospel song and the system made her change a few words at the begining. I have faith the children are our future teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they psses inside. Give them a chance to be.....if we have the bible in school and evolution is still taught nothing will change./ parents know qhat schools teach and do nothing. As in my generation what is now a proven hoax was taught as some foolish idea if the missing link. Lucy.? A chimp with human hands and feet to forward a lie. Named ironiclly at least for a beatles song about lsd. Lucy in the sky with diamonds. Racism? Sigh one race God made. Mlk preached about all Gods children.. George washington carver when asked himself says preacher with faith and his bible as his only text book. Never called homself an inventor and always Gave God through Jesus Christ, prayer and meditation and God answering for all he made. Also taught a livong parable about men and women in life as flowwers need light to start(John 1 God breaths life into all men born)flowers can then grow in light of the sun or on darkness. We even call some weeds. And some even eat meat. Some even choke other bigger trees to death. A pine tree can grow to kill smaller trees with its shaddow. But the same(blood) clorophil is in each plants veins. Qhen history books in school teach that mayhaps things will change through that generation.
