Discovering Individual Differences (1953)

Producer: McGraw-Hill

[@crystallionaire]

I would have benefited from having a teacher like this in elementary. I was a "pleasure to have in class" because I hardly every spoke or drew attention to myself. At one point they thought I couldnt speak english.. but I was just an extremely socially anxious child who became an extremely socially anxious adult.

[@jaminova_1969]

I love the furniture, hair styles, and fashions of the day! Nice that the teacher is concerned tot he point of becoming involved with the students and their parents in a positive way.

I went to school in the 60's. Students took scholastic placement tests at the end of the year which determined what level they'd be the next year in math and reading.

[@oneblackhorse]

I wish all teachers were as kind and loving as the teacher in this film. Most of the teachers I had never volunteered special time to help particular students in need of support. They would just ignore them for the most part. Teachers who show concern and compassion are the REAL teachers. The others are teachers in name only.

[@lamonthamilton667]

Thank you for your Comment, we need more like them.

[@blackroan2276]

@Lampshade I doubt that 75+ kids at a time would be in special need of support. Some kids need it, others don't. The teachers need to pay special attention to kids who need that extra support to do well, not ignore them. The kids who are already doing well don't need extra help.

[@sheriheffner2098]

Only one teacher I ever had ever showed me any compassion. My little Dachshund had to be put down because she broke her back and she asked me what was wrong. I told her and she said something very kind to me. The reat of my teachers, like you said concetrated on the smart students. One idiot teacher even told another teacher on the playground on the last day of school. "Im passing all of them just to get rid of them."

[@depressedcoon]

As a teacher, this video really reminds me of my time teaching in other countries: very intuitive and caring for multiple aspects to pupils' development. But here I would probably get fired for touching children and consulting their parents in ways like this. People are constantly suspicious of me. Plus they don't give me enough time to plan lessons and teach, let alone manage their emotions individually. Just, wow.

[@lamonthamilton667]

Yes SADLY you would be fired, Trust Development and Maturity is out of fashion and the victim syndrome is the now image to be encouraged and this is the WORSE way to use this once great Verb.

[@deboraholsen2504]

As a teacher myself, I feel your pain! I kept being amazed as I saw how many times she touched the children! I’m sure I’d get fired if I gave a student a hair bow and put it in, myself, without asking, then telling her that the color is flattering on her and that she’s pretty! Even though the teacher’s intentions were good and even though her actions and words would be desirable if she were their mother. But NOT for a teacher! This movie made me cringe so many times! Not only for the inappropriate discussions between the teachers, but treating each child as if they’re yours! And the social judgements put upon the children as if they’re facts! As if the teachers were allowed to freely give a psychological diagnosis! It was almost creepy because it scares me to think of how teachers would be reprimanded if they were doing these things! I am thoroughly amazed and dumbfounded, watching this, which forces me to think about how drastically times have changed! Was this filmed in OUR world??

[@deboraholsen2504]

I was also amazed they thought it ok to sanction telling the parents they could not help children in any special way if they were under performing or if they were higher-level thinkers. How could this be ok? Seems really bizarre!

[@lunamoth7044]

@@deboraholsen2504 I guess nowadays, it's no longer okay for a teacher and student to establish a healthy relationship. I think it's important because they have to put up with each other, so they should at least find ways to get along and try to find some common ground. Just like with any other relationship, communication and understanding are necessary for it to thrive. I understand that there should be boundaries, but there's a difference between a healthy student teacher relationship and an inappropriate one. I think a lot of people have trouble telling the difference between the two.

[@bobjacobson858]

The initial part of this video about "Robert" reminded me of something I was told about the early part of my time in first grade (in 1958). The teacher told my mother that she would call on me but I didn't respond, so she checked records with the school nurse to learn whether I had a hearing problem, and learned that my hearing was fine. My mother only told me this a couple years ago, shortly before her death at 95 y/o. However, something 'clicked' when I heard this--I hadn't gone by the name Robert (and still don't), so it's very likely that I simply didn't realize I was being called, particularly as this name was so common back then that there were always others in the class by this name. MORAL--Don't overlook a possibility that's so simple that it should be obvious.

[@flowerpower8722]

These days (in my country/state at least), they have a 'preferred name' addition in enrolment forms, in your case official name Robert, preferred name, Bob, which is what the teacher would call you.

[@bobjacobson858]

@@flowerpower8722 That makes sense, but teachers were rather "stuffy" back then. When I was in junior high school, there was a girl whose actual given name was Debbie--and she spoke up when the teacher called her "Deborah"/"Debra" (the first spelling was more common where I lived). The strange thing was that this was a very young teacher, not an old "battle axe"--perhaps she felt she had to "assert her authority" this way although I expect it was simply her difficulty in remembering the apparent nickname was official.

In a way, it's the lifetime equivalent of accepting the fact that you'll have a much better day if you let yourself sleep an extra hour before starting it. It can feel like laziness, defeat, low standards, &c.; but sometimes it's the solution to a bigger problem.

[@BlazeDuskdreamer]

I had the opposite problem with my daughter and where we lived they didn't let them skip and they utterly shoudl have. She was the kid who got bored because she already knew the stuff. She tested for 8th grade not in 5th but fourth. They should have let her go from fourth to sixth at least. I'd have to go to her teachers whenever her grades dropped and say give her extra work. They, of course, fought that because they thought they knew more than her mother. They were wrong. I'd say just do it. So they did thinking they prove me wrong. Up her grades went straight back to A's. Teachers are inept and this film might be part of the reason why. Homeschool if you can. That's what I wound up doing. My daughter asked if she could. She carefully actually put together a whole presentation on why that would be beneficial and I said okay. She finished her last three years of high school in one year. but, no, mustn't skip. Must hold smart kids back. It's stoop it.

[@lesscobrandeau2451]

Now do the one where individuality is scorned, ridiculed and bullied. That's a good one.

[@DMfilmfan]

LOL, exactly what I was thinking! Recognizing individuality so you can eradicate it. The 50's was the age of conformity - being coerced into wanting to be accepted by the "popular" kids. Most of the teachers I had reeked from the cheap coffee and cancer-sticks they consumed in their break room. Personality-wise, they had no business ever being allowed inside of a school. On a daily basis they saw and heard bullying but chose not to intervene until after it led to violence.

[@BlazeDuskdreamer]

@@flowerpower8722 I think if you stop making blanket assumptions that siblings are all alike and that each child in a family is still an indvidual, you'd be a better teacher. Tteachers are flat out wrong to judge you becasue you had tjree older siblings ahead of you who were utter monsters. How about looking at the child's record before judging them? If instead of groaning here comes another Duskdreamer (not our real name) if they had looked at my record, they would have seen I was the complete opposite of my older siblings and looked forward to having me in their class instead of starting the school year off antagonistic towards me. They would have discovered that I was a str8 A student with exemplery behavior. These teachers assuming the worst likely often create a self-fulfulling prophecy. If I had only been halfway decent instead of someone my siblings called goody two shoes, I'd have given right up and say why bother? Teacher already h8s me because they misbehaved and badly. What I'm saying if I didn't love learning for the knowledge's sake, those teachers would have driven it right out of me and there are probably those it does. Year after year after year for 13 years of school, i had that to contend with. It'd have worn a lesser kid down and made them rebel. These teachers who assume you'll be like your siblings instead of the honor student you are, are creating their own problems and ruining children in the process. Your siblings shoudl not be looked at all. You should be judged by the content of your character - not theirs. My big sisters and big brother were h*llions, I should not have been assumed to be one as well. Totally unfair and biased. I should not have had to endure that my entire education in the school system.

Instead, illegal crossings of the border in Arizona have increased FIVEFOLD since Biden opened it up for anyone and everyone just 4 weeks ago! This brings not only unchecked cases of Covid, but also drug smuggling, criminals, human trafficking and sexual slavery, and more children who will struggle to learn English in the schools, plus overcrowding in the schools because public schools must admit all children, so this will cause classrooms to be even more crowded. It’s often more cost-effective for the schools to put in more than 32 students in a classroom and just pay the teacher a little extra than it is to hire a new teacher when they don’t yet have enough students to make up a whole new classroom! So classes can be 37 in number, with half of them trying to learn English! Reduces opportunity to teach other subjects.

It was wonderful to take children from not reading to reading chapter books by the end of the year. My two fellow second grade teachers and I took our classes on five field trips a year. We used the light rail as we couldn’t afford a bus. Many of the children had never been out of their neighborhoods. We cared and worked many extra hours each day.

There are also as many good, effective and caring teachers out there today as there were back then. So go out and BE one instead of complaining that there aren't any.

I read pretty well, but was always in the second reading group. I tried to make an effort to read to my niece and all of my nephews when they were little. My niece always strugg li ed with reading and spelling, so do her sons. My sisters two sons are good readers. My niece's youngest son, who turns seven on November 13th is struggling with virtual school. I try to help him, but he won't listen to me. All he wants to do is talk the entire time his teacher is on the laptop. My niece says he does his school work at home. But as you know this year is Hell on earth for our children.

People like to say school policy is way better now, that safeguarding is better and more inclusive. From this, it’s my impression we’ve gotten worse.

[@barbaraedgley2634]

If the teacher combs Ruth's hair, puts in a ribbon, tells ger she's pretty, touches her face-- nowadays that teacher would be called gay, probably imprisoned for sexual harrassment. Nowdays illegal to show affection-- shame.

[@chastityduarte1770]

this is really really funny ha class.

[@gregoryclemen1870]

this is almost comical!!!!, I was in a grade school where there was 40 to 50 students in each class. the teachers employed "cookie cutter" style of teaching ,meaning that if you got it----- great, if you did not get it, you fell behind in class. many of the teachers that I had in grade school would use "POWER PLAYS"( bullying) to get you to conform. I was one of those "stupid, dumb, no good for nothing" kids that had an above average "I.Q.". well this "stupid, dumb, no good for nothing" kid went on to get a degree in electrical engineering, with a final "G.P.A." of 3.48!!!. many of those teachers did not know how to handle me, or understand me. there was some teachers that really did take an interest in me, and they would make comments to the teachers that I had trouble with by saying "how could one person know so much, he is one smart kid, you need to find another way of teaching this person---- he is far from STUPID!".

Those were the good old days when teachers cared about the students and not their union jobs.

[@user-nv2zn3fg7d]

So it's ok to hold a student back but not ok to let one skip. By the end of 2nd grade I was well into 5th & 6th grade work because we were allowed to work at our own pace. A boy in the class was allowed to skip to 4th grade but I was not. It ruined my interest.in school permanently. I just didn't see any point anymore.

[@miriambucholtz9315]

In 1953, I started second grade. I almost never had friends; I came from an angry, critical family life, and that was how I viewed the world. I was reading before I was in kindergarten and I was bored out of my skull most of the time. We also moved quite often, which didn't help matters, but in all those years and places, I never met a kind, compassionate teacher who gave half a crap. This has to be a propaganda film.

[@aglayamajorem9546]

Miriam Bucholtz Just because you haven't doesn't mean it didn't exist to some others. Go outside America (in Asia or Africa) and you'll find there are teachers still caning their students or humiliating them publicly for not doing well as others in their studies. Consider yourself fortunate you didn't have to go through much worse.

[@erins.5420]

Calm down people this isn’t propaganda it was instructional film for college students earning a degree in childhood development and public education.

oof I remember my pants got caught in the chain of my bike and i flipped over front of it. and a bus driver had to take me to the school nurse.. i begged the nurse not to call my father but she said she had to.. I could hear him screaming on the other end of the line about how i was faking it.... when the bus driver literally witnessed it

[@paulaharrisbaca4851]

Mark, these days, being raised by a single parent (mom, probably, and a SJW as well) would be diagnosed as hyperactive and ADS and be medicated up the yin-yang way before he got to 5th grade. Most moms cannot deal with a Mark without a dad around, so they tell the doctor he's unmanageable and gets in trouble all the time. So they drug him. And when he gets to schools that are mostly full of semi-morons who can't read beyond the 3rd grade level and aren't even INTERESTED in learning to begin with, no matter how hard you try to MAKE them, a Mark is going to decide smoking weed and dumbing himself down to the level of the average kid he has to go to school with is the answer. The nanny state encourages mediocrity in every level just for the bizarre idea of "equality of outcome" that seems to be the thing these days, rather than encouraging everyone to do their best and compete.

7:58 How is a coloured student studying along side a white one? Segregated schools didn’t become illegal until 1954.

[@atom_gray]

because not all schools were segregated.

[@miriambucholtz9315]

It was filmed in Connecticut, which is where I went to school. Most towns had completely integrated schools. This one place where I lived was full of wealthy, snobby people who probably wouldn't sell property to someone of a different race to begin with.

[@mkeogh76]

Most states did not have any de jure segregation. That only existed in southern states. De facto segregation was another thing, but that still exists to this day.

[@chastityduarte1770]

you should turn on some lights at your guys school to see who the hell are these people that in your class it's the old times from the past.

[@paulaharrisbaca4851]

I love this stuff. It's actually far more beneficial teaching kids about these issues than it is to have a transsexual or a drag queen come in to read a book called "Janie Has Two Mommies" or "Bobby Loves His Princess Dress", which is of very little interest to 99% of all children and only serves to alarm some of them (it would have me, I guarantee you).

How about the Arthur special they showed where one of his teachers married his boyfriend.

[@Pirategirl4nightwish]

Except that teachers are so busy teaching kids stuff for standardized tests that there’s not much time for anything else. How many school teachers do you know that make home visits? Some preschool programs do it, but I’ve never seen other teachers do it. Yes, some of these tips are practical like doing observations and checking student records, but there are also lesson plans to write, work to grade and classrooms to take care of.

[@Kitsune-dono]

Why being so homophobic and transphobic? It's important that we teach children that lgbt people are just normal people, not only because it's the right thing but also so that those children who will be gay, trans, etc. will be serene with themselves and will not have all the problems lgbt people have nowadays.

That would never have occurred to me! Be careful with your judgements about men, because I know it’s considered woke to treat them this way. But we don’t need to put them down to elevate ourselves as women! This is childish behavior and we need to be more confident that we are important in a unique way, just as they are in their own, believe it or not, important way. I have men friends who help me in a way that women never would, or even could, and women friends who are also very special to me. Can we stop putting men down, millennials?? ...They are people, too!

My father began teaching and coaching in 1950 in Texas and was "never happier." He truly loved helping others rise. By the time he retired in 1986, he had administrated EVERY HIGH SCHOOL in the FWISD. Proverbs 9:10 is clear: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." Today, we've lost our way in public education. Can't you hear Twain Morrow turning over in his grave? 🪦 😥
