I am sure this kid will be on some kind of watchlist for potential school shooters after this.

[Androidpk]

360p? What is this prehistoric bullshit.

[BriarFox]

The kid has a point, despite his obvious attitude problem, but it's not a one-way street. A teacher should try to inspire, but students need to try to be inspired as well. You can't teach a brick wall.

[Tgo01]

You can tell that teacher is in a union. Am I right gais?! Gais?

Maybe his attitude is a direct result of his teacher's bullshit.

It's just a 1.5 minute video and I realize we can't possibly know everything from this video but shit, going by just the video I think everything the kid is saying is true. The teacher couldn't even be bothered to get out of her chair and all she could manage was "Bye, bye, bye, please leave."

What do I pay taxes for?!

Drone warfare.

I got through approximately 23 seconds of this and then turned it off. His attitude and the way he was speaking to his teacher, plus his manner of speaking, turned me off so much I couldn't listen anymore.

It's because he's black, isn't it?

[Gnome Rage]

If he did not get the attitude that he got, if he didn't start getting agitated, his points (which I agree with) would have been received better. He needs to learn that you don't get what you want by throwing a tantrum and storming out.

I feel like a lot of the time packets, worksheets, silent reading, becomes synonymous with education, which I don't agree with.

Isn't he white?

[Androidpk]

I have no comment as I have no idea of what the whole situation is but I would like to know more. Having dealt with incompetent and lazy teachers in the past I can relate to what the kid is trying to saying though.

I wouldn't really say it's storming out when she told him to leave.

[Keller]

Imagine how much more awesome that video would have been if we'd allow teachers to carry.

EN ARE EH! EN ARE EH! EN ARE EH!

[Gnome Rage]

I wouldn't really say it's storming out when she told him to leave.

As this just popped up on FB too, I watched it again, he says "I can't let this freaking lady go on anymore" or something like that at the beginning, and he raises his voice the most right at the end of the video and opens the door in an angered manner. It seems like they had a disagreement and she said something like "if you don't like it you can leave" and he was like "Yeah bitch I AM gonna leave, but I'm gonna make a point first"

[Tgo01]

It seems like they had a disagreement and she said something like "if you don't like it you can leave" and he was like "Yeah bitch I AM gonna leave, but I'm gonna make a point first"

So she said "Shut up or get out" so he gets out then she kept saying "Get out", "leave" but he was the one throwing a tantrum and storming out?

I must disagree.

Seriously, who does that teacher think she is? A 911 operator?

From what he says at the very beginning it sounds like this whole thing is in response to her going off on one of the students for not understanding something.

All while sitting in her chair.

[TheEschaton]

I'm glad I had good teachers.

I'm not entirely sure what conclusion you can draw from that fact because there is a ton of stuff you don't know about this situation.

I'm not at all defending the teacher, a teacher should never tell a student to shut up, its inappropriate, but from her perspective he's disrupting her class.

He has a valid point, and if PK is right and she went off on a student then that is another case. All I was saying is, being the loudest doesn't usually give you the most credibility.

[Warriorbird]

Imagine how much more awesome that video would have been if we'd allow teachers to carry.

EN ARE EH! EN ARE EH! EN ARE EH!

I'd be more scared for my safety if I was carrying.

We can't tell much about either side.

Actually he is brown. I don't know if it was the missing sombrero or lack of a turban, but he's definitely brown.

What if she is abnormally short and is actually standing up? Huh? What then?!

His hair looked blonde to me, but I'm not going to re-watch to confirm.

[Methais]

He wasn't black. I know this, not because I watched the video, but because this kid isn't being hailed as a hero that's just trying to fight for his education against white teachers that want to keep him down, only to have him and his teacher invited to the White House for a root beer summit after it was discovered that the teacher belonged to a union.

[BriarFox]

Actually, the teacher was pretty calm during it all, which is a point in her favor. It's hard to say whether she's a lazy POS and sitting in the chair is evidence of that without knowing more. For all we know, the kid grandstands like this every day and she's just tired of him.

What if she has a foot/ankle injury!!

I've been teaching mine sitting down, and I'm not lazy. Though no one's ever stormed out, either.

[Gnome Rage]

Wow. It's like maybe you have a chip on your shoulder.
I loled SO hard at this.

idk why I thought it was so funny, but I read it with a great tone.

[SHAFT]

I would hire that kid in a heartbeat to work for me. I like his style.

[Warriorbird]

It's certainly possible not to be lazy and sit. I'm usually up and around when I'm teaching classes and I've had two students storm out. One when I told her that if she took out her phone during a test she failed the test and the other when I refused to change rules the College Board set for the sake of her convenience.

I think high stakes testing leads to the "have a review packet" style of teaching but I also know that this generation loves setting up YouTube films that don't have much bearing on reality. Both could be true.

[BriarFox]

I can't agree with the whole "teachers' unions are teh debil!" at all. For every lazy teacher to whom they give due process, they protect a thousand more good ones from being wage slaves ordered around (even more) by corporate America and from being fired by idiosyncratic principals and school boards. Now, if only they could step up their lobbying and PR so that retarded standards stop being legislated to them by people who know nothing about teaching, everything would be great.

[dszabo]

And I quote, "Don't TRY and take credibility for teaching me jack."

I can only surmise that that was an english class and the teacher CLEARLY isn't doing her job if she is allowing him to use language like that.

ETA: Based on that statement alone I'd guess that the kid is just a pompous jackhole whose parents didn't discipline him at home and now he's trying to come off as some cool as shit rebel by yelling at his teacher who's just doing her job.

ETAA: The teacher is losing no matter what she does in this situation in the liberal public we live in today. Sitting in her chair is the best thing she could have done. If she were to get up and yell back, or firmly escort him out of the classroom there would have been an outcry over teachers "abusing" our students just for voicing their opinions.

[Androidpk]

Because he looks like a stoner?

[Methais]

Wow. It's like maybe you have a chip on your shoulder.

Wow. It's like maybe you still haven't learned to not take most of what I say seriously.

Like I really think that kid is gonna be ok with root beer...

[subzero]

As a woman, you should be among the first to know that hair color can change and has nothing to do with skin color.

Women like it kind of rough sometimes. You should try it out.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

I thought the kid was grandstanding for attention myself. There is nothing in that video that suggests the teacher is bad... I'm not sure why people are jumping to that conclusion.

I believe everything I see on the internet. It hasn't failed me yet.

[Drisco]

I listened to it once, but didn't he say something about the teacher being all "I'm just here for my paycheck". I don't want to listen again because his outfit and hand waving killed my soul.

Yeah, he said that. Not an indicator the teacher is bad though...

Another lap. Take it.

[subzero]

Ya know... something happened prior to what was taped that prompted people to start recording. From what I've heard, the teacher went off on/about someone for not learning in some way. If you listen to the beginning of the audio, it might make some sense.

[iJin]

Yeah, he said that. Not an indicator the teacher is bad though...

Any teacher who has the galls to say he or she is just in their classroom for a paycheck should of picked another profession.

[Warriorbird]

We know.

I heard that hipsters want you to not take what they say seriously.

[Mtenda]

I opened this thread hoping for porn :(

[StrayRogue]

Totally agree with what that kid is saying. Whether or not he's just moaning because he's being sent out I don't know, but everything he says in regards to teaching is spot on.

[Ker_Thwap]

Clearly, we're getting about 10% of the story. Can empathize with the kid, and can empathize with the teacher.

What kind of idiot school policy allows cell phones in class? It's got to be just soul crushing as a teacher to stand in front of a class of kids who don't want to be there, and aren't even paying attention. When a teacher gets a single kid in the class who seems interested, you can just see their face light up with joy. Maybe this teacher is already jaded and has given up. If so, that's soul crushingly bad for the students.

I'd attribute primary blame to the school policies, to the unions, the parents and to a lesser degree, to the students. It's important to blame others instead of trying to fix things ourselves.

[Tisket]

That kid is whiter than snow. lol @ calling him brown.

And the teacher is not only sitting behind her desk...her desk has so much shit on it and around it that it looks like a fucking desk fortress. I can't comment on her actual teaching style because it's not shown in the video, and maybe she doesn't teach sitting behind it but that desk alone makes her appear visibly cut off from her students.

[diethx]

I am feeling real turmoil over this kid's contradictory nature. He's got a beautiful, seriously beautiful head of hair that just screams to be banged around with such force and precision, and yet he talks like he is trying to sound like Eminem. This is really tearing me up inside.
