I am addicted to these old instructional films! They are full of practical advise that is staggeringly easy to forget when life starts kicking your ass in serous ways.
there are some people giving u a hard time- they haven’t been kicked in the seat of their pants yet. i know exactly what u mean and find these clips so helpful for the same reason as well
Because the teachers of today have no idea how to teach - they have gone from the back of the classroom to the front of the classroom - through College and University; they've never left that school environment. All teachers need to leave the education system for at least two years, experience life and work in the real world not the artificial, theoretical world that they are accustomed to.
Haha because our civilization between the second world war and the 70s was at its peak. Since then it is only an emotional debacle with feminine men overwhelmed with their feelings...
This principal is doing what I did when I was a principal (only retired a few years ago). One must be realistic enough to accept the fact that they're not going to excel virtually EVERYTHING. If they're spectacular academically, then something else is deficient. No one has everything, and one of the most important lessons of life we learn is to live with "emotional upsets". We've all had them and will continue to have them. Teachers have them, principals have them, students have them, and parents also have them. Human beings have them. It's part of this journey we call life. Better to learn it early and develop coping skills to deal with it. Life ain't for the timid!
Sounds like a guy with half an answer. Your suck it up attitude is not going to solve those issues that should be solved. Testing should be more standardized. That way emotional bias of the grader is prevented from down grading or inflating grades.
As a freelancer, sometimes I can get emotionally imbalanced, because it can be hard to juggle all of the responsabilities and deadlines, but I have to learn not to be too hard on myself and recognize my efforts.
I like how the authority figures in these old-time vids have such perfect radio voices and dispense sage wisdom in rolling Ward Cleaver cadences. I'm glad the kid finally snapped out of it and stopped expecting so much.

Lol it seems like alot of people aren't getting the point of this,mabey because back in the day they weren't as concerned about hurting people's feelings and were more straightfoward.The message isn't to just not have high expectations,you should AIM high but don't expect everything to go your way all the time,you might not acomplish something as soon as you expected but that just shows you that you have to work even harder.
I think the core message--to attack your problems positively--is very sound. Anti-depressants are prescribed too easily and too often these days, and in many cases only have the effect of making one feel better without actually addressing the issues. Disappointment and frustration ARE very tough emotions to experience, but they can be turned around, and when you succeed it is so much more satisfying.
The Principal basically said set goals but not expectations, which is something I learned from Jenna Marbles several years ago if I'm being completely honest. It's excellent life advice.
These little short stories helps the 7-12 year old to recognize something inside themselves that may help later in life. However amusing they are, they do have some value if one is paying attention. I like them
I think thye would be great to show kids today - they would be interested cos of their curiosity of the old movie, and they would realise their problems are universal
People, its a lesson on not giving up and overestimating yourself. Another way of saying conquer steps not staircases. Not really different from the advice these days on how to accomplish a goal or be successful.
But, never settle for mediocrity. Always put every effort into what you expect to happen. That way you know in yourself you tried your best. Otherwise, you have YOURSELF to blame. Maybe, the "failure to achieve perfection" can act as a learning experience to do better next time. Don't be afraid to fail either. You won't be good at EVERYTHING.
Do you notice how well-balanced and thoughtful this advice is? We have all been lied to about how these times were supposedly so awful and so backwards.
I keep expecting these old timey films to be super regimented and ridiculous. But the advice is often surprisingly solid. Overly high self-expectations can be crushing on a person, young or old
Man, it may seem like everything’s changed since the 50’s, but damn if lockers haven’t stayed exactly the same lol. Where’s the Tesla for lockers?? We need this void filled
Ah yes, back when college wasn't "required" to be able to afford your own house and car, and even support another person! When scholarships are directly linked to your grades it's hard to appreciate a little improvement when falling short of your goal comes with harsh consequences. Even though we really should be appreciative and proud of any improvement, even if it's not "enough". And man I wish a lot more parents and principals were like this...
College today is, quite frankly, often a waste of time and money. If you're going to be a pizza delivery guy anyway, might as well be one who isn't tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. If you DO go to college, major in something useful and in-demand.

Success is not like lottery, it doesn’t happen overnight. Getting into a bad mental state just because things don’t go your way instantly is an attitude and mindset that drives you straight to failure That’s ridiculous

I like how situations like this were tackled back then. There’s a time and a place for being comforted, but a lot of the time what we need is to be told what needs to be done whether or not it makes us feel good or bad when we hear it. Nowadays people rely on their feelings as if it were fact. You can’t invalidate a feeling, obviously.. they’re feeling it whether or not it’s rational, but that’s just it: feelings aren’t fact. It’s ok to have your initial human reaction to a problem (I mean we can’t really help it) but sometimes we have to take a minute and sort out what the real problem is.. and then the feelings will improve as the problem is solved. It’s tiring to see all the coddling and babying that goes on in America, we just need to be told what needs to be said without treating us as young adults like we’re children and us young adults need to stop wanting this too, cus it gets us nowhere.

I've really been trying to turn my life around this past year and have made many small improvements. Getting upset or rushing myself has only proven to be harmful so I'm just now learning this balanced approach at 21. I made up a slang for the word exique, since it looks like a fusion between experience, IQ and EQ I defined it as such. Exique is essential to make any lasting progress in anything. If anyone has any questions on my improvements on fitness, chess, studying, sleep, mental health, martial arts and diet, feel free to ask.
tbh nobody likes a participation trophy, least of all the children who get them. They're a patronizing reminder to the child that they didn't actually win anything.
The participation trophy is symbolic of what this video is trying to teach. "you might not have won, but you tried and maybe next time you try you WILL win." Stop perpetuating the divisiveness of today and instead use your maturity and wisdom to bring generations together.
I always tell my boys to give academics their best work and to enjoy their extracurricular activities. If they win a basketball game, that is great; if they don't, at least they can have fun playing. My boys are very well adjusted, and they are complimented frequently by teachers, coaches, and other adults. There is absolutely nothing wrong, and indeed everything right, with encouraging healthy emotional well being and doing your best in all endeavors. The adults name-calling and hollering Snowflake every other sentence are a part of the problem, not the solution.
I WISH some people today could learn to exercise some more emotional restraint and self control. Sometimes, I feel modern society has been overrun with histrionic exhibitionists who want to throw a tantrum about everything and make everything private public.
We need more headteachers like this ! Coaching students and helping to give them insight. I just love these nostalgic films of the 50s - so beautifully crafted - bless you Howard 🙏
Same! "Remember, nobody wants to hear about your little emotional problems! Stuff them down good and tight and get on with your life, for God's sake. Like Chummy, here!" (Cut to Cholmondley-Warner smiling thinly and shaking with barely-suppressed rage)
I don’t quite get any of the whole report card thing. My parents barely cared as long as I wasn’t failing at anything, if they signed fine. If they didn’t I signed it myself and no one cared. In High school they gave us report cards and we didn’t have to bring them back signed we just took it home and kept it. Also in 12th grade I lived on my own so I could excuse myself from classes or sign my own stuff legally anyhow.
Talar Sews Stuff yuck see math was the one subject I suck at. Still do!

Daydreaming is a form of emotional escapism when someone is especially distraught. Disassociation from the world around them. When they say "daydream" in this video, they aren't referring to positive daydreams. This type of negative "daydreaming" is common in kids/teens with rough upbringings for example. If you want more information, look into depersonalization.

There's an underlying message here about hard work that I don't think enoug people are understanding; because it wasn't just saying one should keep persisting until it works, but if it finally just doesn't go your way after all those trial and errors; then change your framework and choose a better suited goal in life rather then making yourself more anxious you're never gonna achieve that goal.
You learn so much valuable things from this small vintage stories. I am going through multiple failure in my lab trials and it's my 1st project in my new job. Its frustrating
The funny part is that the ppl from this era (boomers) were the ones handing out the trophies rather than teaching their children to deal w their own emotions. It was very important to the PARENTS that their kids were special lmao
Of course, these days, Howard would claim that he had a learning disorder, that the school discriminated against him by not allowing him extra time and other 'adjustments', that his work should be reviewed by an independent panel of experts, and if all that didn't get him an 'A', he'd claim that the teacher sexually harassed him and he's now suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

These old videos have messages so similar to my mom's. I need to thank her for her birthday!
These videos are treasures
Aim for the stars and land on the moon. Aim for the clouds and get tangled in the utility pole wires.

Keeping emotions in balance, something we should all strive for.
I've really been trying to turn my life around this past year and have made many small improvements. Getting upset or rushing myself has only proven to be harmful so I'm just now learning this balanced approach at 21. I made up a slang for the word exique, since it looks like a fusion between experience, IQ and EQ I defined it as such.
Exique is essential to make any lasting progress in anything.
If anyone has any questions on my improvements on fitness, chess, studying, sleep, mental health, martial arts and diet, feel free to ask.
This video is surprisingly useful.
Shit I actually really needed to hear this
Its amazing how they explain to kids that its okay to not be perfect, but to try. Now days EVERYONE gets a trophy
And when they don't the snowflakes all have a meltdown and scream and throw tantrums.
tbh nobody likes a participation trophy, least of all the children who get them. They're a patronizing reminder to the child that they didn't actually win anything.
@@56squadron you call the kids snowflakes but the parents insisted all kids get a trophy. Ironic.
The participation trophy is symbolic of what this video is trying to teach. "you might not have won, but you tried and maybe next time you try you WILL win." Stop perpetuating the divisiveness of today and instead use your maturity and wisdom to bring generations together.
I always tell my boys to give academics their best work and to enjoy their extracurricular activities. If they win a basketball game, that is great; if they don't, at least they can have fun playing.
My boys are very well adjusted, and they are complimented frequently by teachers, coaches, and other adults. There is absolutely nothing wrong, and indeed everything right, with encouraging healthy emotional well being and doing your best in all endeavors. The adults name-calling and hollering Snowflake every other sentence are a part of the problem, not the solution.
God...This is a very beautiful turnover of thoughts in a most realistic way of approach...Thank you dear for sharing it with me..
I WISH some people today could learn to exercise some more emotional restraint and self control. Sometimes, I feel modern society has been overrun with histrionic exhibitionists who want to throw a tantrum about everything and make everything private public.
MYSTERIOUS COSTUME CHANGE BY HOWARD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BASKETBALL SEQUENCE!!
Good catch... his sweater mysteriously changed color and lost it's arms....
Howard and the boys got all mixed up after showering together
We need more headteachers like this ! Coaching students and helping to give them insight. I just love these nostalgic films of the 50s - so beautifully crafted - bless you Howard 🙏
C used to be a good average grade, only 10% of grades were As
At first I thought this was a Cholmondley-Warner sketch!
Same! "Remember, nobody wants to hear about your little emotional problems! Stuff them down good and tight and get on with your life, for God's sake. Like Chummy, here!" (Cut to Cholmondley-Warner smiling thinly and shaking with barely-suppressed rage)
Why doesn't he forge his Parents name like everyone else?
I did, for smoking...and then he proceeded to give her a phone call....
AAAAAAARRRRGGH...!!!!
I don’t quite get any of the whole report card thing. My parents barely cared as long as I wasn’t failing at anything, if they signed fine. If they didn’t I signed it myself and no one cared.
In High school they gave us report cards and we didn’t have to bring them back signed we just took it home and kept it.
Also in 12th grade I lived on my own so I could excuse myself from classes or sign my own stuff legally anyhow.
@@AKayfabe lucky. All mine did was scream at me for anything less than a B... that made math class fun
Talar Sews Stuff yuck see math was the one subject I suck at. Still do! I was thinking abt this comment and wondering if my parents just weren’t strict or if maybe because I did relatively well in school they felt they did not have to be overly concerned? I guess I’ll never know, since both my parents have passed.
LoL........
Strange that dad “was hoping for an A” rather than the B but said nothing of all the C’s. seems like he would have been thrilled his son pulled up one of the C’s.
No shit, I could have gotten a c in everything except math and science, those would have had to be B..
Fk history
The world needs ditch diggers too.
@@trenthink Especially once we build that wall!
@@Lennox1492 - That's why we can always count on foul mouthed people like you to repeat it.
@@trenthink Good one. Reminds me of a friend who said "Sure glad I stayed in school" when we passed some guys digging a ditch in the rain. Don't get me wrong, I was raised with the idea that all work is noble and I've dug my share of ditches when it had to get done. Fine, accurate ditches of which I was proud.
Help, I've watched about a million of these old videos already! Can't. Stop. 😵
Btw, how is daydreaming a form of emotional upset? 🤔🤔😂
Maybe they mean dwelling on what happened/what could have happened? Because now when we say day dreaming usually it isn't negative.
Dissociation from the problem instead of dealing with it head on
Your not being present and holding on to that feeling rather then letting it go?
Daydreaming is a form of emotional escapism when someone is especially distraught. Disassociation from the world around them. When they say "daydream" in this video, they aren't referring to positive daydreams. This type of negative "daydreaming" is common in kids/teens with rough upbringings for example. If you want more information, look into depersonalization.
@TheBrabon1 sounds like you missed the point.
I bet Bill's dad bombed Berlin in that jacket
And all the innocent people he killed

@@arielbemeliahu8619 true, yet they participated in the madness "just following orders". Sorry but if not part of the solution, still part of the problem...
Back when young people were well-spoken
Man chu trippin bluh
Richard Head wow that's like so rude
Channeling that emotional upset into a direct attack on your problem.
Wow!
*"Learning to keep your emotions in balance"...... OR JUST SHOOT EVERYONE!*
*Ah yes, how times have changed.*
These something relaxing yet so informative about these old videos.
9:39 I found this simple bit of advice to be pretty insightful tbh
Homer Simpson: Let this be a lesson to you, boy. You tried and it didn't work out. So you might as well not even try.
Beat me to it.
Bart: I can't promise I'll try. But I'll try to try.
Amo las enseñanzas de estos documentales!
There's an underlying message here about hard work that I don't think enoug people are understanding; because it wasn't just saying one should keep persisting until it works, but if it finally just doesn't go your way after all those trial and errors; then change your framework and choose a better suited goal in life rather then making yourself more anxious you're never gonna achieve that goal.
Wow I wish I had received any of this advice from literally anyone growing up. Wtf. What a cool principle
You learn so much valuable things from this small vintage stories. I am going through multiple failure in my lab trials and it's my 1st project in my new job. Its frustrating
Mr. Edwards has a very relaxing voice.
This is good advice 😘 I love these vintage videos.
Of course, it never occurred to the principal to check into the situation, and see if Howard had been graded appropriately....
Uma interpretação como essa não tem preço, seu encanto nos atinge no fundo da alma ...
that was a very long 12:05. Thank god there was an ad in the middle
I'm keep watching these vedia and learning a lot lately.
Something that should be practiced today since ppl make so many divisions based on emotion and not facts.
Back when we all learned how to live with failure, rather than receiving a trophy for breathing.
I know right?
America is doomed.
The funny part is that the ppl from this era (boomers) were the ones handing out the trophies rather than teaching their children to deal w their own emotions. It was very important to the PARENTS that their kids were special lmao
"a trophy for breathing" hahaha that made my day! I will definitely reuse that 😂👍
@@cloud9beautyit is a very good point! Why did they rejected all this stuff and decide to do the complete opposite...
People should show this video to kids in elementary, middle school and high school!
Moral of the story: keep ur expectations low & avoid disappointment
works for me!
As an Asian, parents expect perfection and if they don't see results they want in you it's harsh.
Of course, these days, Howard would claim that he had a learning disorder, that the school discriminated against him by not allowing him extra time and other 'adjustments', that his work should be reviewed by an independent panel of experts, and if all that didn't get him an 'A', he'd claim that the teacher sexually harassed him and he's now suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
Thanks Mr Anderson !
These videos are actually quite helpful.
Howard's upset because he's thirty years old and still in high school.😟
I was really disappointed the kid was never told to snap out of it. I heard it many times growing up..
Oh yes.
lol...that's because you were living in reality....these films are sheer fantasy!
And that's how Howard completed the Vulcan Academy.
I suspect they made those room sets in the high school's shop class, especially the doors.
