    This kid was right on every mark. He is obviously extremely intelligent, and at the time was bored out of his mind. Sadly, there are a lot of Jeff Bliss out there. These kids become disillusioned, some get into trouble, drop out etc. It's heartbreaking. One size education doesn't work. Students are taught to take standardized tests, instead of being taught to comprehend, retain, learn, and apply. Not every student is meant to go to college, but every student has a gift. One can become a janitor, and one a doctor. Both are just as important, and both can be successful. Success is finding your gift, and doing it to the best of your ability. So many of these kids end up feeling like failures, and they're not. These teachers need the courage, and passion to step out of the box they've been forced into, along with students. An involved teacher the day Jeff made his speech, would have offered to let him come back to teach the next days lesson. I have a feeling they would've both learned something. What better way to teach your student, than to put him in your shoes, and have him learn the material also. As a teacher, you would learn more about your students, and ways to improve yourself. Just because something has always been done the same way, doesn't mean it should be.

      Standardized tests are an important tool for measuring student progress and teacher effectiveness. There can be good criticisms of how standardized tests are designed, administered, and used, but it's completely unreasonable to reject them entirely.
      An involved teacher would immediately send Jeff Bliss to the principal's office. You don't just get to interrupt class to give a vague inspirational speech. lol

      @brandyholliman3781 3 года назад +87

      @@wfjhDUI I'm not dismissing standardized tests. I am saying that they shouldn't be the top priority. In the US, government funding for schools are largely based on standardized test scores. Therefore, tests have become the priority, instead of giving teachers, and students time to focus on chomprehension/retention. Teachers don't have it easy. There are many out there that care, and go beyond expectations. There are many who don't, or have just become complacent. There are those teachers that have a gift for it, and others that just regurgitate information. You mentioned punishment. I agree that actions have consequences. This is a lesson that should be learned young, in order to create responsible productive adults. However, the purpose of punishment is to instill a lesson. As I stated prior, not everyone learns by the same means. In this case, by giving him the opportunity to teach a lesson, he will learn accountability. He will have the choice to step up, learn the material, and teach the class, as he stated. Secondly, he could choose to decline the assignment, take the bad grade, discredit his boasts, and sit down. By choosing to teach the class, he would learn what his teacher faces. He would have to learn with comprehension, preparation with presentation, and public speaking. We all know how high school kids can be, especially to their peers. This will teach him empathy for his teachers, and a little humility. In the best scenario, it might just light a spark to inspire an upcoming teacher, and possibly give him the confidence/self worth to invest in himself. Even though peers can be mean to their others, they also listen to them. The whole class will be paying attention. The teacher by allowing this opportunity, it still doing her job, and accomplishing so much more. The teacher can observe how her students respond. She may see new ways to reach her students, and what they best respond to. She can observe what they have understood/retained, and incorporate approaches that work for them, as well as for herself. As adults, we often forget that kid's don't have it easy either. We expect them to forget what they face outside of school, (hunger, abuse, illness, loss, grief, etc) come in, sit in one place quietly, not go to the bathroom, get hungry, not get frustrated, and do it for hours. As adults, many of us couldn't do this. Yet, we expect it of our children. Structure is a good thing, but change can also be. As a school system, a teacher, or even student, if what you are doing isn't working for optimal learning, try a new approach.

Always had a big gulp-sized cup and food on her desk. And if you looked behind it, you'd see that she had sauce bottles and food containers everywhere. I think she had more food-related things than school supplies on/in her desk. She had a whole drawer dedicated to snack cakes.

      @Jonehones I have friends who are teachers and they care a lot about getting students educated in ways that work with their individual learning styles, but they feel completely hand tied and held hostage by low (and constantly lowering) budgets, you’d have no idea how much of their own money teachers put back into their own classrooms, and by lawmakers who base how much money the school districts get on ridiculous standardized tests. And that money often has to go to things like keeping mold out of the school rather than anything else. The best teachers end up leaving the field, going back to school to teach at the collegiate level, or stay poor and get burned out at the lack of control over their own lesson plans they are allowed. The issue isn’t with the teachers, it’s the superintendents and lawmakers.

      @@jaydwy8069 i never went to college either, but taking a wild guess - she probably was referring to how college is mostly about gaining names and numbers. Its all about WHO you know, not WHAT you know... sadly.
      For example, In the music industry this is very clear. You can find 16 year old kids who are musical savants on youtube, yet the most famous and highest paid artists couldn't tell you the chords in any given key. But if you attend Berkeley for a week then you can get enough connections to do something within the industry. You dont have to study or even finish school, just buddy up with people "in the know". Im exaggerating and generalizing slightly, but its true. Ive yet to meet anyone who would disagree. The internet has changed the role college plays in society. Universities are no longer the gatekeepers of higher education. You can watch highly respected professors teach their entire semester online, often for free. You can read any literature no matter how esoteric online too. In modern society college has become a place to connect socially with people higher up on the proverbial food chain.

She cared deeply for not just the grades & academic performance of her students, but of their all-around well being. She wanted "her kids" to learn and to be kind, thoughtful, well-rounded, productive members of society.
    The "teacher" in this video is a joke and an embarrassment to all educators who strive to shape minds. She was more concerned with shutting Jeff down and talking down to him. She should be ashamed of herself, but unfortunately she likely lacks the grace and class to feel that way. Any teacher who dryly tells students "this is my paycheck" and then tells them to "quit bitching" when they want interactive learning immediately forfeits their position of respected leader.

What they do have a choice in is their interaction with students. As a teacher, I was rarely behind my desk. Teachers are under paid and overworked but I taught for over 30 years and most teachers do it for the love of seeing the students learn. Just like any other profession, there are bad teachers. I can brag and say I was a good one. I had to medically retire due to stage 4 breast cancer. Do I miss it? I miss my colleagues and the wonderful bright inner city students I spent my career with!

When I saw that video years ago, I thought it was for a similar reason, I didn't realize this was how some schools were taught regularly. It's sad.

      True Lex, the moment was recorded and put on the internet where the masses hijacked, repurposed and bastardized the message Jeff gave. When you have morons like @Andrew Nevarez comment on this thread, showing their own lack of comprehension, and projecting intent and even confusing self advocacy for entitlement. Of course your going to get these dumb masses thinking that it's suddenly "up to Jeff to take on the entire system", People demanded that he became an educator, principal, local politician, even president because they thought that just because he had the "audacity" to openly disagree with the current education system, it was now HIS responsibility to improve it; as an 18year old in HS!! When in fact, the responsibility should have been on the parents to DEMAND actual change from their local school systems. But that would mean the population had to actually do something, instead of their performative online outrage, where they could pass on responsibility to Jeff for their kids' education.
      Jeff seemed to have taken the opportunity to go on TV news interviews because he was hoping that the adults in the USA, with voting power and actual means of persuasion through their wallets and taxes could help his outrage turn into an actual movement for better education, at least in his community. The saddest part is that he became the "face" of a single mans' movement without any regard for his own wants and passions as far as his own future and his vision of self success.

    • @ophilianecr
      @ophilianecr 3 года назад

      @Nightgail i get what you are saying about people being professional 24/7; but I have to disagree. There's a difference between behaving professional and adopting a fake personality. This makes more sense as you interact with the world and you learn to be in professional situations. Civility, and politeness is necessary to have in all aspects of society especially if you decide to have your own business, network with suppliers or your own clients. Professional demeanor isn't reserved for the corporate world. Ever work as a restaurant server?? I've built loyal customers and even disarmed total Karen's who came back to apologize for their behavior because I was professional without being condescending. It was benefitting me, because I made money off tips by having customers return to be served by me.
      All this to say, while I understand you, we still have to understand the "why?" things are this way. More often than we realize, people don't have a chance to be completely "themselves" without facing a consequence, be it work, friends, or the ability to take care of oneself well. You gotta account for the millions who get beaten down and lose their individuality, because not everyone can become an outsider and be happy. Does that make sense?

Everything was outrageously confusing in the packets and when we would ask her for help sometimes she would ignore us or only tell us once and if we asked again she would tell us to just read the packet. Lots of kids failed that class. In the middle of the year she gave birth to her kid and in walks this old school chalk board substitute. He said “fuck this packet shit” (not his words but my interpretation) and he taught us the old fashion way and made it exciting by adding games and rewards for answering questions. My grade bumped up from an F to a B that semester. Then she came back and I went down to a D.

So we wouldn't technically feel dumb for being wrong, but would learn why the answer we gave wasnt correct and give us info/facts about our answer at the same time. I wish I could take his class again.

    "i certainly agree that the student could've handled the situation in a more appropriate way, but the content of [jeff's] message is a conversation we like having in this school district" principal totally got where jeff was coming from and supported him, put the teacher on permanent leave. This principal won the game man

    Wow this kid really found his maturity in those 2 years out of school. Mom is a fantastic teacher because she showed her son how to learn! He did it at his pace and on his time, but isn't that what we truly want for all children. He's certainly ahead of his time for sure, maybe he should have home schooled so he could have a better opportunity to dig deeper into those classes. The teacher found a way to work the system, sit back and let the future fend for themselves. She gave up and gave in to the broken system, which is sad because that teachers test is no joke and very difficult to pass. He should be a philosopher not a teacher!

    I'm on the autistic spectrum and I would love to be a teacher and share knowledge and be excited about it but I know that there is no way I could deal with other teachers and parents and that's heartbreaking. It's so hard to see someone being like this is just a paycheck for me when for me it would be so fulfilling.
