Is it just me, or does every English teacher show this to his students?
Tai Zhang its now required
Tai Zhang As it should be.
is it just me or am I the only sociology student being made to watch this
In my AVID
Not all English teachers show this to his or her students, if so I would have seen this a long time ago, only just now my grade eight English teacher showed this to me. The grade sevens and six's don't see it till grade eight. Then im not sure about grade nine and over because im not in grade nine yet. But I know that in elementary school they never showed me any of this type of videos, so I think it's just grade eights and maybe above...
My English teacher showed me this. like chill im in quarantine
AHHA SAME
quarantine gang
Tristan Harm our teachers are so creative!
lol same
Same.
The ironic part is that this is online
tbh lol
yea but it hit hard
facts, really ttrue facts.
Who else would you want this information to go to? Do you think this should be targeted to people reading books?

What's up
Virtual learning 2020, who’s with me?
correct, we all gotta hunch for grades and money.
Exactly. Whyyyy
Me over here just chilling when my English teacher linked this to me 😃
Right here
*Never before have I been so offended by something I 100% agree with*
My English teacher showed my class this years ago and I still watch it because it is amazing.
mr bauman ?
Same!!
same
barkboy1000 my Ap English teacher just showed us this
barkboy1000
Me too
I was to watch this for homework and ended up playing it over and over again, this gives me goosebumps
coochie
The eye contact line was incredible!
Yes!!
Damn. If this came in second place, what came in first?
A poem that wasn't as good. Emily Yager :(
He won first with his poem, but his team overall got second.
okay good! This was incredible
Emily Yager it was rubbish
Dede Baako
WHAT DO YOU MEAN RUBBISH!?
The thing is, I would never have been made to think so critically about my digital world without having experienced this poem by way of the very digital world of RUclips.
I think balance is the best solution. Amazing that you get to watch him on youtube but how much better would it be if you went to see him live?
peopleaintshit duh that's an interesting point; i'd answer that i would still watch it here on RUclips rather than live. if i had a chance to see it live, i would but if i had to choose no strings attached why would i see this poem live only once when i can see it online as many times as i'd like?
balance is a good plateau but people need technology to survive, prosper, and advance our collective consciousness forwards unto tomorrow.
peopleaintshit duh An ancient Greek philosopher said "Παν Μέτρων Άριστo". Roughly translated as "excellence is met when everything is balanced"
One word. Paradox
You can't think for yourself?
I saw this in class and everyone said it was stupid and laughed but I lowkey love spoken words and was really feeling this dude .so much I liked him up to watch it again
I agree with you he’s got a point the children that were in your class must’ve been really immature lol I’m a sophomore and you must’ve already graduated high school but I’m barely just working on this assignment and I love it!
@@Dqv1d1 you graduated now?
I just scrolled through the comments until I realized that I was watching this video on a touchscreen device.
wow same
funny that it mentions following him on Facebook at the end..
+Morgan Freeman shameless plug-ins are shameless
Lol
JAHAHAHA
I was just about to comment that, lol
I've seen this 20 times and still get goosebumps. Unfortunately, I'm watching this on my Apple iPhone. I have no idea how he did not get first place. The first place video was not very good. Nowhere near the passion and wordplay that Touchscreen has.
+blakebellamy82 Who is the First place finisher??
Please tell me the person's name and the video of his Poetry if you have seen it.
+blakebellamy82 most likely people didn't pick him because they think he's wrong.
+염지혜 They dont judge like that, just because your beliefs are different doesnt effect your placing in poetry
+염지혜 if you really think he is wrong, you're IQ must be below 0
Christopher Blok She never said that she thinks hes wrong, just that the judges might have
i watched this in class today and watched it again when i got home,this video is so true tho
Khaley Garrett just watched it today in class today.
That made sense
"Apple picking has always come at a great cost"Wow
fuck you
@@sirgeorgioalastrata4104 huh?
@@sirgeorgioalastrata4104 uoy kcuf
That one hits me in my heart!
my english teacher showed me this today. now i look at the comments, and they've been doing this for almost a decade. holy shit, someone has a creative lesson plan
He did this in my school today it was amazing he brought the house down.
I watched this in my English Honors class.
Me too
Same
make that 3
Make that 4
I watched this in my 8th grade English class...
This guy is a genious. Not a single second of his poem lacks some sort of deeper meaning, and every bit ties into the theme. GOLDEN!
spelling error XD!
This Man predicted quarantine
Watched this in english today. What an enduring think to watch.I was hooked.
This poem sparked my interest in slam poetry but also inspired me to start an open mic poetry club at my high school. It will also be the first poem I recite at the first meeting!
10 years ago and this still speaks volumes
This is so powerful, everytime I watch this I get goosebumps the entire time.
This is the only poetry video I've seen lately that even faintly resembles poetry.
this is a form of poetry called slam poetry tho
it's like really diverse
I listen to this every once in a while, and it gives me chills every time.
This is relatable because so many people are stuck in their devices and they consume our lives instead of talking to people face to face, or doing "normal" activities.
This deserves more views, I have like two years watching it again and again
cringe
I saw this in reading class today. It was so good I went and watched it again
I'm the English teacher.
I better not see any of my students commenting "My English teacher showed me this."
👀 I'm onto you, 7X
hahhaah
My English teacher showed me this
Thanks for showing me this Mr. Huang
@@will8369 No problem, mysterious student.
This is amazing. It really makes us rethink how we live our lives. I applaud you, Marshall Davis Jones.
2021 and I still come back to this video.
"it used to be hard to connect with friends formed Cliques, but it's even more difficult to connect now that clicks form friends"
BRILLIANT!!!
My English teacher showed me this and usually once I study a poem i never want to hear it again but i have watched this about a hundred times and it is still amazing 😉❤️❤️
From the garden to the Eden to the branches of Macintosh, apple picking has always come at a great cost...
amazing how so many people are missing the point of this poem. 10 years ago texting while driving was not a Hazzard now it's a common tradegy. The moral of the story people is not to give up technology but to wear it as a loose "garment". Use technology for what it's worth but do not get so caught up in it the you trade your life, relationships, and other's for it.
Preach
I appreciate this poem so much! I can not wait until I can recite my poetry in such a manner as this! truly inspirational
Did u succeed mate
This is one of the poems that made me want to write poetry. So, thank you Marshall Davis Jones, for inspiring me. :)
I have watched this video countless times over the years and still every time it gives me goose bumps. So damn good.
I can't stop watching this over and over. Such amazing passion and performance.

My theatre teacher showed us this as inspiration for our own poem. :)
Wow, so much insight and flow collapsed and rebuilt on each other. It's insightflow.

I've seen this a bunch of times, and I still get goose bumps
Marshall, what a great video. I watched this a few many times. You had many good points about technology changing the world's eyes. I love it.

agree Blake belleme I just love his message and it just taps into your brain and your mind.bravo
I've watched this way more than once and everytime it gives me goosebumps! Reminds me to log off and shut down every now and then! Let's get out and do stuff with friends/family! :)
I don't even like poetry, but this gave me some deep thoughts...
WOW, He had me on the first word he spoke, such a meaningful flow. I have been going to readings for decades but this one brought poetry to me just when i realized i needed to hear a poem and had the privileged to hear this one. Your words has made me rethink how i want to present my poetry. You are the poet i want to learn from, thank you Sir.
This is amazing!! What a message! More people need to see and watch this several times!
If this won second then I wanna hear what won first. This is amazing and gave me a much needed reality check.
Anyone watching right now in 2019???
This performance has to be one of my favorite slam poetry that I have seen
