I remember having a brief intro to sign and braille in grammar school. That was 30+ years ago. Public school has changed so much no more penmanship, shop classes and very little PE.
@@cocot9414 we don't need penmanship any more, we have computers, shop classes are completely useless, and who says we have no PE I have PE everyday for an hour
@@cocot9414 yes they need to go back to those skills learning how to take tests is stupid. There should also be emotional intelligence classes at all levels and signs of mental illness must be caught sooner. I'm about to be 30 and I see what others say when they feel my generation was the start of the decline
I feel like the dislikers didn’t really loved their life so they are use to hating on people who are born different and it isn’t right to hate on someone who is different than others. They should think again before disliking someone. It’s ok to be born different because I know what it is like to be different. Forget the dislikers cause they mean nothing.
I worked as a cashier for a little over a year. It's the people that come in and make the same old boring joke to the people that ask you how your really doing that I miss the most. The bright smiles I saw go through my line from these people always brightened my day. I'm not telling you to smile, because I know that always made me mad. But I do want you to know I can see your smile through your mask.
kids never forget their school custodian, they're just as influential as the teachers. ours was Mr. Mike, he used to make sure we cleaned up our lunch areas properly and watched so kids wouldn't drink too many chocolate milks 😁
All the kids thought ours was so cool because he rode his motorcycle to work every morning. He also wore black biker leather. He was also quiet in the stoic way. He was so bad ass, students spread a rumor around that he was just pretending to be a custodian as a cover for being a spy, or in a gang, or some job cooler. Oh the minds of children.
Watching this timeless clip in January 2021. This warms my heart, and I'm misty-eyed! Bless the teacher, her aide and their little students who gave this kind man a wonderful greeting he'll remember forever. Happy Birthday, Mr. Jim!
It would have been nice to actually just watch the children signing and HEAR them singing to him instead of the commentator talking over them thru the whole video.
@@briterry4961 Whatever dude. The point is... you couldn't even focus on this precious moment for the commentator talking nonstop thru the whole thing. The sweet video "spoke" for itself. We didn't need a play by play explaination.
I agree, it would have been nice. It's hard to connect with the situation when you can't really see it because the video repeats and doesn't play through.
That was beautiful for the teachers to recognize their fellow human being and teach the children how to do the same. We adults must set the example. 😢🙂
Ppl often talk about janitors and their jobs... looks like this one found his happy place and the energy he’s put into work hasn’t aged him like so many others!! This video is so sweet, I LOVE IT!!! ❤️🧡
that was so cute and beautiful. His face just lit up so much. it was so beautiful to watch. doesn’t take much to make someone happy and make them feel good.
This is why individuals that are different in many ways should be amoung us. This was a great lesson and a smart and compassionate teacher has passed those qualities on to the children.
See, showing love and kindness to others cost nothing ! Just look how much it means to the one receiving it. Way to go!! What an amazing teacher and kids!! 🦋🤗
When my grandfather retired from General Motors he became an elementary school custodian. My grandfather is the sweetest teddy bear you’ll ever meet and all the kids loved him. When he retired from being a custodian they threw him a big party.
That laugh was a sound of joy 🤩 Happy Happy happy 60th birthday Mr. Jim 🎊🎈🎉🥳 🎂 🍾 🥂 🍺🍻🍷🧉🍹🍸🥃🎁💌🛍 wow he looks good for his age.

no way he's 60. he looks fantastic. and how sweet. that made his day
He’s black
@@GodzillaKaijuGK obviously. Lol black don’t crack
@@kjonezxo6092 Yeah
He looks 30-20 at least no where close to 60
@@jessicaruiz4789 when you look so you young it’s the numbers go lower instead higher.
He has to be about 62 now. But he doesn’t look like he’s even in his 50’s. I guess not being able to hear the bs in this world keeps you young.
you got that right
I love this comment 🤣
And being black keeps you looking young.
Same here. Don’t mind us just the broken 2 year suggestion giving RUclips.
Why did I just realize that all of your comments where posted today it’s almost like I’m not late ☺️😁
He can hear all the words in his heart
this just appeared. Beautiful moment. Crying with joy.❤️🎊
You're too cute.
yep
Indeed!✌
Wow your comment touched my ❤

I don't remember our custodian's name, but I remember he was one hell of a trooper. He probably holds the record for most gallons of barf mopped up!
Yep. The background players are secretly the stars.
Mine was terrifying but funny. Like if you made a mess he'd expose you but you'd laugh along
This makes me remember my elementary school custodian. We called him Mr. Fry for short :)

Holy crap! That guy's 60?!?
Like they say black never cracks.
Beat me to the comment! Incredible.
I have friends who are in their 30s and 40s that doesn't look as good as him!!!!
I've noticed a lot of black folks tend to look really good as they age.
62 now
Ok, my eyes are watering and He definitely doesn’t look 60!!
SURE DON'T ☺️🤣
Aww.. this brought tears 😭 to my eyes... really needed to see this right now in 2020 😞

So beautiful- pure joy - happy birthday Mr. Jim 💕🎉🥳

Really.. you're complaining about what you couldn't hear during a deaf man's birthday song? Yall wild out here 😂

Fair use, the commentary made it simultaneously transformative and also means no one can re-post this in full.
Some people love hearing themselves talk. I stay away from such people.
Nothing but trouble there.

It boggles my mind when I see people disliking beautiful clips like this.
Only assholes will dislike touching videos like this
Who cares
What a wonderful life lesson to teach the students.
I might believe he’s 40. He looks amazing.
Looks amazing for 60. Working with kids and loving his job is keeping him young. That is such an adorable and thoughtful gift for him
Awww what a sweet gesture! Wow he's a good looking 60! Happy Bday! 🎂🍨🍭🎁🎊🎈
Everyone: Aww
Me: HOW IS HE 60 HE LOOKS SO YOUNG
These Kind And Sweet Kindergarteners Has Touched The Custodians Heart After Singing His Birthday Song.
Is it just me or is there always that one janitor who everyone loves
Awwww I’m glad I clicked on this video. His happiness makes me happy. :) I love this video.
Sometimes it's the "little" things that you can use to show that you appreciate someone
That's beautiful. Teaching the children kindness should be #1.
A simple kind gesture can mean the world to someone. Kindness matters. 💗😁
What a sweet teacher to have here students learn how to sign Happy birthday for this nice man.
😊👍💕
Kudos to that teacher and her amazing students. I'm pretty sure it's a birthday he'll never forget
This may not seem like much, but, it's a WONDERFUL gesture for him.
A little love and appreciation go a long way!
Had me soft self crying smh
🥳😭 that touched my ❤, how sweet of this kids and blessed this teacher for teaching better humanity 👏 🙌

The very simple things that you do, are the very best things that touches someone else's heart.
These are the kind of things the world needs right now!❤️❤️❤️👍🏾✝️

The 32 people who dislike this video have no souls.
90 now
that was so cute and beautiful. His face just lit up so much. it was so beautiful to watch. doesn’t take much to make someone happy and make them feel good.
Custodians keep our schools standing.
That is too cute and sweet! They made his decade!
AWE...SOOOOO SWERT OF THESE KIDS/FACULTY!
WHAT A BLESSING!
GOD BLESS YOU WITH MANY MORE HEALTHY/HAPPY PROSPEROUS ABUNDANT BIRTHDAYS SIR!💒🙏🤗😆
It's amazing what an act of kindness can accomplish 😊
P.S. ASL is an amazing language. I wish more schools would offer it as an elective.
He's 60?! He must be a cool person yeah?!
This is what love looks like.
These little angles gives me hope😇. Their show of kindness will carry this man for years to come. Bless them and their teacher.
Teaching young children the POWER of human kindness is what can save this world. Happy Birthday, Mr. Jim!!
Gives me hope for this generation lol
Got to work both ways you know.
As it should be... teaching children to express/celebrate our appreciation for our fellow man, no matter the occasion.
I am so glad that they did this for him. It was really sweet. He seems like a nice man.
Awww this was beautiful. The video barely started and I already started tearing up 😭😭😭 Why am I like this?!
Wow! What a special gift from all the kids and staff at the kindergarten for this person! Kudos to them👏🏻👏🏻
The younger generation coming are going to be amazing, thank GOD.
It is good to see people shows appreciation towards the custodians. This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing this video.
What a sweet teacher to teach her students to sign happy birthday to someone so humble.
Omg this is so sweet!! ❤❤😭
I can't say it enough. ASL should be MANDATORY in ALL schools!
I don’t think so. If that was the case then so does Spanish since there are students who only speak Spanish in high school
This guys looks like he is idk like 40 ish 50 i would never thought he was 60. Wow he looks good
Awesome! Happy birthday. 🎁
He’s 60?
He looks good.
That was a AWESOME thing to do God bless him and those children.
Honestly heartwarming
What a wonderful teacher. The kids now know that little gestures of kindness and appreciation can mean so much to someone. This is so heartwarming.
Really needed to see this in 2021. How sweet.
This is why individuals that are different in many ways should be amoung us. This was a great lesson and a smart and compassionate teacher has passed those qualities on to the children.

They need to teach sign language in schools. Idk how it’s not compulsory
Children need more of this taught in early stages of life. The world needs it.
Everyone just got this in their recommendations
Oh wow that’s so nice not that many people in this world now sighn so this is a blessing for him he’s so happy 😁
The *FONZ* taught me *how* to sign "Happy Birthday" 40 years ago.
We need more "good news" like this. Thanks to the teacher and the kids. Happy Birthday Mr. Jim!!
This shit just makes me cry!
This was so generous!! He looks so happy! I’m crying😭
I like how the kids are looking at the teacher like "are we doing it right?"
Oh my gosh, how prescious, thank you students, you certainly made Mr. Jims day special...
60....well You know what they say "Black Don't Crack", my father is 90, and he looks like he's in his late 60/early 70 lol
yes they do, but Asian don't raisin.
Yes this is very true we don’t crack. Despite everything we have been through we are resilient people

just a guy being a guy, it's what we do. god bless him. and happy belated b'day
