      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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

      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.
