Thank you, Teacher | A Butterworks short film

Happy Teacher’s Day! Our teachers often scold us and punish us, but have you thought of their real intentions behind those actions?
Not all teachers are what they are often portrayed as, kind and willing to spend time to help you and listen to you. Some teachers are stricter and fiercer, however, that doesn't mean that they do not care for you. Remember that!
Share this video with all your teachers and classmates. Help us spread this message :)
Thank you, Teacher ｜ 谢谢，老师

[@vampiredonkey5465]

I was on my rebellious stage of life when I was in high school , guess what , most of the teachers had labelled me as a "hopeless student " but there was this one teacher , who caught me smoking in the toilet , she spoke to me that I can change ,as I was behaving like this just to get the others' attention , and because of that one simple sentence she had spoken to me , I changed , what I'm to trying to say here is , a good teacher will influence you for your lifetime , I'm grateful that I'd met one in my life , #godbless

It doesn't matter the intention, she should not have done that without first sitting down and listening to him. It was a good short film, however, this teacher's methods are horrible, even though she had good intentions.

[@Sunshine-lj1tf]

Teachers are always like that. They yell in front of the whole class but that's not the real them. If the students would just do their work the teachers wouldn't act that way. Yes they always punish and yell, but doesn't this really mean that they don't care about u? I agree with Butterworks, teachers do belive in yourself, it's just you don't...

[@jon66097]

Teachers should listen to their students instead of focusing on their methods to motivate their students. he showed from the very beginning sign of emotional hurt, and the teacher never once took the time to sit down and listen to him, in fact, if you notice the teacher never even apologized to him, always scold, never even took one minute to listen. The student had to shout to get his point across, after she nagged him to not shout at her. Good intentions, but her methods are not good at all.

[@biscuitsgalore1650]

Jonathan wong zi cai Yeah

[@Sunshine-lj1tf]

Jonathan wong zi cai I also agree with your comment, teachers should take a chance to sit down and listen to students. I think I was thinking about my teacher on this comment because rewatching this video, this teacher didn't talk to the student, but yelled at him...

[@Sunshine-lj1tf]

My teachers are like the comment I posted, they yell and punish students, but also take a chance to talk to them

[@chowjiayi1644]

I agree with you. The teachers who impacted me the most and helped me improve were the ones who cared for me and did not raise their voice at me even when I screwed up, and not those who embarrass and made insensitive remarks to shame me to do better.

[@user-gc8zb1gk4k]

I cried so much in this. I can't even take it. I should really start thanking my teacher because she's doing this for our best. some teachers doesn't even care about their students. I really loved this. good job!

[@jon66097]

This was good, however, the teacher is not exactly one to be appreciated. Not saying she shouldnt get angry and discipline him, however, the teacher should have taken the time to listen to him. Threats after threats after threats even though from the very beginning he showed signs of emotional hurt, the first one was so obvious, you didnt even need to hear the phone conversation to see. Yet she never listened. he had to shout to get his point across. This teacher had good intentions, however, listening is the most important. If you dont listen to your students, how do you expect them to listen to you?

[@questionablemuch1535]

If you don't listen to your teacher, why should they listen to you? It's the same thing. It's mutual but if both parties think the same way, nothing can be done.

[@Mr.MonsterD]

@@questionablemuch1535 because the teacher is the one trying to change you and the students is the one that needs to be changed

reminds me of "Sir Abid Malik" but he was even better teacher , wouldn't scold or raise voice in front of all class , always cared , always ready to listen and see beneath the surface

when ur teacher scolds u and makes like emotional quotes ur like “ wth lol “

[@Kmhthepainter]

The teacher is quite caring, but she is also quite hard on him! Honestly everybody is cut out to do different things and I like how she means well for him, but there are different ways in which she can be more polite and slow on him! All in all good video:)

[@ChasTCole]

The teacher could have talked with the student about what is wrong. If a childs home life is shit, then that has a big bearing on his desire and motivation. but yes many teachers just want the best from their students eh, max respect for those teachers.

This is negative reinforcement, no matter the reason behind it. How many people actually can stand back up, if this method fails to wake the student up, it will only affect his self esteem for the rest of his life.
