Innovative educator Ron Clark inspires passion for learning

Math and history are just some of the subjects at the Ron Clark Academy. The Atlanta middle school teaches everything from eye contact to the value of friendly competition. It's a method that makes kids want to attend class. Mark Strassmann reports on how the founder maintains the fun under a cloud of 55 strict rules.

Why aren't people passing this on? Everything has grown but our schools. This is the school of our future. People grow and so do children. Why are we still stuck in teaching from the 60's?????

I can't even describe how proud and impressed I am with the children, the teachers, and anyone who are involved in those children's and people live. We have to make replicating this important.

[@mr.wright9867]

Ron Clark is my hero. My first year teaching would have been my last had he not been around to inspire me and talk me down off that ledge.

[@I_WANT_MY_SLAW]

lol

[@swissconty9808]

The thing is that these kids are well spoken.

[@hello2ability]

An impressive reminder that all the high tech mediums of teaching are no substitute to a motivated teacher. Wishing more such kind souls to show us and our kids the way to achieve our potential.

[@Dzsinatotto]

I want my future kids in this school. It is basically the only school that teach important stuff to them for example how to enjoy life and be confident with good manners at the same time.

[@madre6322]

Every State should emulate this systems. It will probably keep more kids in school. The children in this school are well spoken and well mannered, confident, and looks really happy to be in school. We need more Ron Clarks in the Department of Education.

[@sarahmatosianking2016]

I love Ron Clark. Thank you for your brilliance and passion and sharing your story. We have to make more schools like this.

[@marslars3567]

Truly revolutionary. Thank you to Ron Clark for truly making a difference to all children of all cultures and backgrounds. Watching from NZ.

[@teegee771]

I wish most education could be provided in this manner. More students would love to go to school who don't necessarily care for it.😍

[@Edutechplus.]

[@timp918]

This guy reminds me of the Kaboom guy form Parks & Rec, lol. But I mean that in the most endearing and positive way.
