Jeez. I have to be honest, if one of my teachers would had ever said something like this to me, it would have really meant a lot.

[@Alice-mo4vs]

I have been doing a course this year and the tutors told us more than once that we were the best class they had taught. (part of it was that we all contributed to getting them cakes on their birthday's the first time a class did that for a tutor there).

[@mayal3024]

Yeah, all of my cores that I'm in the teachers tell us we're the worst class they've ever had. (Not everyday, just occasionally)

I would cry if anybody said this to me. Because I always feel useless and not needed.

It should not be special. To have a good relationship between teachers and students should be normal because this would make things easier and a lot people happier. Beautiful things do not have to be special!

[@kainmaddren9696]

OH Dear Shea you are amazing. The people who made this video too. Positive influence is something rare in our modern societies. Acts like this one make us to remember that no matter the mistakes we made, we are human beings and deserve respect for that. It also remember us what we ought to be, what we were meant to be : People spreading love and only love around them. I wish I could also become a Shea aka positive influencer in my surrounding.

this is amazing and great experiment but i think this will be so upsetting if the knew that this words was only for making a youtube video.

[@nathanhenry9549]

It actually only made our relationships stronger! All the students loved being a part of the video, and it made them feel special. Some of them read the comments, maybe they'll chime in. I am the one speaking to the first two students and a couple during the silent part, and I will honestly say those kids are really important to me. When I brought the idea to teachers, I wanted them to pick students that when they said it, they meant it. I hope that comes through in the video.

[@TheNand999]

thats REALLY great ! happy to hear that!! really very happy! good words have the power to change! hope yours did! :) thanks for clarifying this for me =) much respect from Saudi Arabia!

+The Recluse I got it

[@sailormoonfan300]

that was my thought too ahhahah

[@Widdekuu91]

I'm not saying that it's not a good thing. I'm just saying that if my teacher ever came up to me and started videotaping me, telling me that I was one of the reasons he came to school happy...I'd defineately call the principal. Maybe I just encountered too many weird teachers, that could be true. But I'd find this extremely uncomfortable, as a student.

[@nathanhenry9549]

I think that's a good point. There are definitely students that make me want to school each day that I wouldn't tell that, because I know it would make them feel uncomfortable. I would just let them know in less direct ways. I think that just part of knowing your students. Good insight! Thanks!

[@nathanhenry9549]

There are also kids that I know would like to hear it, but would have hated it being on camera. That was definitely taken into consideration when picking the students.

[@Widdekuu91]

Okay, good to hear :) Then I'd like to rephrase my comment to; 'Good job and good video' :)

[@theemokid3518]

[@cortie891]

If you film everyone and tell them that they're special or important or whatever, then doesn't that become the norm, and thus it is no longer special and important?

[@nathanhenry9549]

I think there is some truth to that. But, the point of the video was not to have everyone go tell every person they that the are special. It was just a reminder for teachers to be careful what you say, because it can have an effect on students, so, use that opportunity to say something positive.

[@sarahrinker9]

They were different teachers these are students that are important to each teacher

[@twinxclub666]

I feel like no one has given me time to get to know me... I have been called ugly and felt worthless before, but seeing a video like this really made my day.
