Viral Video Response: 2nd Grade Teacher Resignation

Here is a link to the video being responded to:


             I agree a lot with what the teacher has has to say, not all children can be put into a cookie-cutter style day at school and come out successful. In fact, his description of a typical day at the school he taught at was very similar to what days used to be like at my old elementary school. As for his other points, such as school should be enjoyable for these children, I agree with him whole-heartedly. Even his idea of an alternate way of going about handling his students seems much more beneficial for everyone compared to the current one at hand. 

            One thing I'm very confused about is why he was prohibited to tutor a student. To me it makes no sense that a school board would have a policy like that, since the primary role of an educator is to educate. 

           Overall, I think this video deserved to go viral because even though it came off as slightly abrasive that is how it should/needed of come off, and clearly his methods of acting this way to get attention worked, since the video itself has gone viral.
