It's not just an happy thing, but a dream. I am learning to teach mathematics and thus knowledgeable on the subject. If a student used a method I didn't taught and even that I don't know, I would congratule the student and thank him for showing me an interesting way to do it. And the next batch of students would hear that there was a student who ... ^^ I will also be a teacher who devise problems with nice alternative solutions and shortcuts for the astute students. It's true that student have to learn the things, but why not make them enjoy it untethered of fear of mistake and judgement ? Also, the school in which I am learning is pushing Montessori method (socioconstructivism) and it happen that when I discovered her, I admired her work. We also learn other methods, because classes are big and time limited and those can do the job too, but they are less likeable (behaviorism and imprint).

@@bigfattank101 It very well could have also been brought at other points and just not made the video. The video is shot from the perspective of the audience knowing who he is so it's very possible there were other parts that were also cut out since the emphasis isn't on his safety or anything. Based on the way he was talking about Magnus' falls it sounds like that was the one thing he was worried about that he falling pretty aggressively, but again for all we know there are a lot of other bits like the part that was edited in at the end of him falling that were just cut out. It's kind of hard to judge his instruction without knowing how much more unused footage there is they just didn't use, didn't get, etc.

The details of the acting for V0-V4 were quite impressive. The T-rex arms and straight legs, the re-gripping and re-stepping. Not using the toe and not looking at feet. The alternating not breathing with breathing really hard. And of course, the over-the-top dramatic falls. Oscar-worthy!

I'm a private teacher (music) and I can see on that teacher that he is EXCELLENT.
