Now at 65 years old, if I try to reflect back on why more students liked me than hated me, you may think that I would have enough data to write a book. Truth be known, I have no idea. But I always was slightly supersticious. I always worried, and still do today, if I delved too deeply into "what my secret was", it would disappear. Here is what I have gleened, and it was true when I started my teaching career, and I suspect will be true for centuries to come... STUDENTS DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU KNOW UNTIL THEY KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CARE. If I had a gift, it was expressing how much I cared about my kids whether they would make an "A", or less in my class. I would be silly, play Disney theme songs, create foolish memory tricks if it helped my kids. Some of my kids would tell you I jumped up on their desks. Obviously, they are mistaken. No "teacher college" can teach those methods. Afterall, those are not methods. All my years in the classroom, I was, for bad or good, me. Just me.

Well then, Mr McLeod, you were yourself and thus the person God intended you to be... and it shows, with the heartwarming tributes from your students! The proof is in the testimony!
JOIN THE CLUB LOL. I PRAY THINGS GET BETTER IN THIS WORLD. IM A CHRISTAIN BUT DO NOT ATTEND CHURCH DUE TO HEALTH( I RARELY LEAVE THE HOUSE) BUT SEEING THIS GIVES ME HOPE THAT THERE WILL BE A NEW GENERATION OF LOVING PEOPLE DUE TO IN PART WHAT THIS TEACHER INSTILLED IN THEM!
@@jimmcleod7286 I think that's some teachers problem. They try to keep their personal life way to secret. And it makes it seem like they are always faking their own personality in the class room. Where as you, I'm sure just acts the same as if you were around your grown up friends. Maybe slightly less silly, but the same non the less. Teachers who show that they are human and not some robot there to teach, definitely make more a difference
Micalah, I have no idea where that line came from. I guess it was a mixture of terror and hamming it up like I often do in my classroom. Jim McLeod of the Clan McLeod
From the way these students talked about him you can tell the impact he had and the way he valued not just how he taught but also what his students learned about science and the love for life. I wish I had a teacher like him growing up. Very touching. Im very happy for him.
@@jimmcleod7286 Hey brother Jim i am so happy that you teached them about our faith and reached out too them.I thank our father for Jesus Christ in you.I was a atheist and i hated religion.9 years ago i had scoliosis and i was in a lot off pain i lost my job and a christian prayed for me and all the pain left and i haven’t had back pain for 9 years i felt like the hole i had in my soul was gone after the prayer as well.That day i got baptized and gave my life to Jesus.I have prayed for many others after that and they have been healed most off them.God bless you and i speak the peace off Christ over you that surpasses all understanding Amen.
ITS SO SAD WHAT PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE TEACHING TO OUR CHILDREN IT SICKENS ME. I PRAY EVERYDAY (I PRAY ALL DAY) THAT MORE PEOPLE WILL LIVE BETTER LIVES ,HAVE MORE COMPASSION FOR OTHERS AND LOOSE THE HATE THAT SEEMS TO BE SPREADING LIKE WILDFIRE.
PORNSTARLIVESMATTER yes I agree! I am in an high school public school and all they do is make students compete for good grades and fight only for gpa. They put so much stress on us and on top of all of that they teach the wrong things we probably won’t need in the future.
The way people react to these glasses reminds me of a child's enthusiasm of seeing new things. And that makes these videos so special. I am working towards bringing this enthusiasm back in my life, eventhough I am not color-blind. Beautiful
I have no clue how I ended up here but I cried my eyes out, what a truly beautiful video, what a great community and aw this man seems to be so amazing. I'm just so touched. This is so great!
just for the record, I'm not against black people..but I am against racist "black liberation" groups who spread fear, hate and slander..............we need to show love but at the same time withought giving them an inch and also standing our ground.......NO MORE WHITE GUILT!..............America is GREAT!..America IS a blessing..and NO we have nothing to feel guilty about.
A small glimpse of what waits for us in heaven. True love and compassion for one another. Well done to all involved in this mans life and to him for just being a great teacher and person. Respect.
Its Mr. Holland's opus all over again! You have truly had a huge impact on your students over the years and they are grateful for having the opportunity to be mentored by you. Brought tears to my eyes.
How dedicated has someone to be to get such a great gift? He must be such a great person. I don't remember any teacher at my previous schools, who we would have done something like this for. I don't know him, but I already like him. His students/pupils are lucky having him
Dear Ann, no, No, NO... I am NOT a great person. I promise you that for every gift I may seem to possess, I have a dozen guilts trying to drag me backwards. I attempt to focus on the positives, and learn from the negatives. Sweet Ann, you can too. I have no Hogwart's elixer. My hope and strength lies elsewhere. Jim McLeod of the Clan McLeod
To Mr.McLeod just watching this makes me have hope my child will have a teacher like you and how highly your students really think of you. You've inspired millions in my eyes
Why must some people attack this wonderful man because he has used his belief in his god to steer his path through life. I am actually an atheist, not even an agnostic, but I respect this man enormously and I share his love of his fellow man, the compassion and humanity he shows. It is clear from these young people that they owe him a massive debt but it is also clear that he thinks little of that, he just does it because he knows it is the way all people should live. It is so sad that some have to attack him just because he believes in a god they don't. Whether there is an after life or not is irrelevant, this man is tattooed into the hearts of hundreds of young people.
Yeah I never understood why, with all the wonderful flavors of the world they choose salty. I love and respect this comment, thank you for not being afraid to voice your opinions.
This man have two big love attention in same day, the colors but the most important (i think) is the loves of his students. That's great guys. Respect, from France.
Dear Ximena, Even as step away from teaching biology and being the Department head, I hope to continue to teach astronomy. Jim McLeod of the Clan McLeod
I had never even heard of these glasses - here in England we are way behind the times when it comes to excellent moves forward like these glasses. I had watched several video's before finding this one - and then the tears of joy just ran down my face. You are definitely one amazing teacher Mr. McLeod as your pupils testify and I am so glad for you that your students got together to enlighten your world with colour the way you have enlightened their lives through your teaching. Bless you.
This man is on top of the world. Recognizing someone who has done great things is such a gesture to such people. To know they are appreciated and their efforts are seen is just a cherry on top.
My guess is that most people know someone worthy of a tribute. What led to mine was an unlikely merging of people who were in the position to make it happen. Lorenz, whose tribute will you initiate?
That would be so cool! I've heard these glasses don't actually make you see the colors you cannot see without them. They just separate and make the colors you can see more clear.
He’s the equivalent to my favorite teacher, Mrs. Denise McGuire-Johnson (MJ). She inspired me to be better. She showed a love & concern for me that I can’t quite put into words. Mr. McLeod, you are the M.J. to all of those students whose lives you inexplicably touched. God Bless you as you start to see God’s beautiful world in all of it’s amazing colors!!!
this was absolutely beautiful. God has blessed you with such wonderful reflections of Christ's love. I prayed when I saw this, and thanked God not only for the people in your life that did this for you but also for the person you must be that they felt compelled to do so. I hope you are enjoying God's vibrant canvas my friend.
This made my day! Congratulations to all those wonderful students and to Mr McLeod who I don't know (obviously) but who inspired me today to push myself a little further in being humble and nurturing to my friends. Great inspiration you all are! Greetings from Spain.
Natalie, actually I am pretty much like anyone else who pulls their pants on one leg at a time. I am horrible at some things, and maybe gifted at other things. I suppose the trick is in finding where to expend one's energy. Jim McLeod of the Clan McLeod
You know, when I really think about it, most people take being able to see color for granted. Seeing this really reminds me of how much of a gift that ability is, and what joy it can bring.
The more often we see the things around us - even the beautiful and wonderful things - the more they become invisible to us. That is why we often take for granted the beauty of this world: the flowers, the trees, the birds, the clouds - even those we love. Because we see things so often, we see them less and less. Joseph B. Wirthlin
This is absolutely beautiful god bless all these wonderful people who just changed this man's life and the tributes to this teacher. I was just at a loss for words.
I have been catching tbese videos with the EnChrome?? glasses and i cry but I weaped tears of JOY after seeing how blessed this man is and he blessed them all so abundantly they returned his love full force!!! AMAZING!! By the way, I woke my hubby crying and laughing!! Congrats sir!! I can tell you deseve ever honor offered by this group... Your FAMILY!!!
His reaction to receiving the glasses, one of utter humility, surprised delight, and gratitude, indicates that everything he has given to others has been its own reward, and that he never expected anything more. I would have loved to have a teacher like this.
I've been obsessed with watching the Enchroma videos posted lately... but this video had me in tears from start to finish, and I don't even know the man personally. I DO know that he's clearly touched so many lives in so many good ways, but bringing youth to better understand their walk with Christ through uplifting devotions touched me the most. He is clearly a special and deserving man. :) Thanks for sharing this video.
I have seen this video about six times now and it is still the best tribute to a deserving teacher, man, father and human being I have ever seen. Every person should have a Mr McLeod in their life!
If all teachers were like him, school would be exciting and more students wouldn't drop out. This man did NOT miss his calling and is truly blessed. May he have a long and happy teaching career. He certainly deserves it!
I know this video was posted a while ago, but I have watched a number of these types of videos and I don’t think I have ever been touched more than by this one. What a beautiful way to honor a seemingly wonderful man and what a lovely display of community and love. God bless you all.
Haj Tom the view from earth is amazing. Unfortunately, when looking outside from earth, it's all latte color. The actual color of the sun is not orange/yellow/red..it's just bright white.
Thank you for posting this publicly. Not having known Mr. McLeod, I feel as though so much of him came across in this video! I loved the joke he pulled on everyone else!!!
I don't know mister Mcleod , but obly looking his eyes, i see the kind of man he's .. True hero of our century , every people deserves to meet a teacher like that in his life .. congrats and thanks
I remember it like it was yesterday; more than 25 years ago, my favourite teacher, everyone's favourite teacher; Mr Tregoning, left to become the deputy head at another school. He was just one teacher out of about 20 at the school, but such was the grief of the students that classes were cancelled for the day and everyone, and I mean everyone, cried their eyes out. There were kids lying on the floor, beating the ground in anguish, some kids cried themselves sick, others walked the corridors like zombies, sobbing and choking on tears. Some kids even threatened suicide, and they had to bring in councillors for a couple of weeks after. It's incredible what affection one can feel for a really great teacher.
Adam Cunningham I never said "just teachers." Try not to make up words out of thin air that someone didn't say...Plus this is a video about a teacher. I felt no reason to include other professions even though I feel others do need to be appreciated more. I like to stay on topic of the video that I'm watchin.
*I* and *Adam Cunningham* I would imagine because they're an American, and it would be outside of their normal experience to know how teachers are treated in other countries. Here, they're not valued as highly as they should be, the profession doesn't have half the respect that it should, and they're paid a pittance of their worth. Maybe (probably) teachers are underappreciated everywhere, maybe not. What's wrong with someone sticking to speaking about what they know?
What a beautiful way to honor a beautiful person! A blessing not just from his family, friends, students, teachers, staff, etc but from the good Lord as well. Clearly God has blessed each person fortunate enough to meet him, by bringing him in their lives as well. Thanks for sharing.
Mr. McLeod, I don't know you but you seem like a wonderful man. Congrats on being able to see the colors you previously hadn't been able to see! And Thank you for obviously being an unforgettable teacher to so many. Lastly, Thank You for enriching these kids life with God.
Ill never forget my high school physics teacher Mr McDuff. His outrageous passion for science was contagious. He would go on tangents from what we were learning and have the entire class just enthralled in what he spoke about. Lovely guy. Hope he's ok.
Absolutely amazing. Teacher's like this should be recognised and Im so pleased that Mr McLeod got to have his day because clearly, he's touched many lives, hearts and is respected by many. A really moving tribute to celebrate a gentleman who clearly loves his job and his students 👏
Wolf, I trust you noticed that my heart has been touched in return. My heart is not a limitless tank. I need filling like everyone does. My students have offered lots of strength.
This video is truely Beautiful. It's so nice to see a teacher that's touched so many lives, and those lives touched are blessing him right back. So amazing to see !! This video made me cry ❤
Ohh the happy tears! If we're lucky, we get a teacher that we remember long after we've left their classroom and school. This teacher is so clearly loved and appreciated, from that sweet video you can tell that he was that kind of teacher to so many people. What an absolute blessing! God bless him and the powerful impact he is leaving on the students, who will then go impact the world in their own ways.
Dear Nicole, Now at 65 years old, if I try to reflect back on why more students liked me than hated me, you may think that I would have enough data to write a book. Truth be known, I had no idea. But I always was slightly supersticious... if I delved too deeply into "what my secret was", it would disappear. Here is what I have gleened, and it was true when I started my teaching career, and I suspect will be true for centuries to come... STUDENTS DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU KNOW UNTIL THEY KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CARE. If I had a gift, it was expressing how much I cared about my kids whether they would make an "A", or less in my class. I would be silly, play Disney theme songs, create foolish memory tricks if it helped my kids. Some of my kids would tell you I jumped up on their desks. Obviously, they are mistaken. No "teacher college" can teach those methods. Afterall, those are not methods. All my years in the classroom, I was, for bad or good... just me. Jim McLeod of the Clan McLeod
Omgoodness!! This has to be one of the best. He is so humble. You can tell he is a giver. I can't stop crying. Thank you Lord for blessing thi man and the school.
He handled that so well. From the videos I've seen, the moment these glasses go on it's such a personal experience. And to do that in front of so many people and maintain composure.. amazing
It's really awesome to see a teacher that is loved by his students and very appreciative of the knowledge and kindness given to them. The world needs more educators like him!
This is science not fucking Jesus you moron. Science doing what you thought only Jesus could do. Jesus is fantasy. Welcome to reality. Thanks Science!!
Exceptionally good teachers have such an impact on people's lives - they truly deserve the recognition and love of their pupils, and the gratitude of the society that benefits from the education and inspiration they can impart on each new generation. This was a really nice video.
You just know by listening to all the testimonials, what a beautiful soul this teacher is. God Bless you Sir. The world is most certainly a better place with your presence in it. ❤️
What an awesome guy. And this school! I wish I went to a school like this. I wish there was a school like this in my town so my kids (when I have some) can go to it. He reminds me of a teacher I had once, Mr. Larson in Magnolia Jr. high school. He really cared about his students.
I would have agreed with you fully, except that when I saw how hard he worked to keep his composure...it might be good that they didn't. Wow. Either way, amazing stuff. :)
Who the attention whore or the people who didn't know what was happening? Just shut up dude you obv know nothing about this. Fuck attention it's a personal thing people make it about themselves still
I've had a lot of great teachers in my life, through college, but at 68yo I can say that Leonard Jayson was the best, and the tributes to this man remind me of him. If you know a smart, kind, emotionally intelligent person who wants to open the world up to children, support them. Encourage them. We're not doing that like we used to.
@jim mcleod My regards from Rome, Italy. You just confirmed to me that teaching the way you do is, without doubt, one of my life goals. I'm a visual artist and i teach art in my own private studio and i can't even think to my life without all the colours i see everyday. I can only imagine the joy you felt. Rock on. Bye!
That was one of the best things I've seen in a long long time, God bless that teacher and God bless all his students family and friends a true treasure to have witnessed such a wonderful wonderful display of love and affection❤
I don't even know these people and I'm over here crying wishing he was my teacher.

/sarcasm
god bullshit has nothing to do with this you dumb fuck.
You fail at sarcasm
someone is triggered
apple do you even know what sarcasm is
what does "triggered" mean?
He scanned the room with thanks, BEFORE, he even opened the box, true expression of gratitude...true class.

AMAZING!! By the way, I woke my hubby crying and laughing!! Congrats sir!! I can tell you deseve ever honor offered by this group... Your FAMILY!!!
His reaction to receiving the glasses, one of utter humility, surprised delight, and gratitude, indicates that everything he has given to others has been its own reward, and that he never expected anything more. I would have loved to have a teacher like this.
This man is exactly what the meaning of the word TEACHER is... yes the world needs soooo many more Mr McLeod's...
I've been obsessed with watching the Enchroma videos posted lately... but this video had me in tears from start to finish, and I don't even know the man personally. I DO know that he's clearly touched so many lives in so many good ways, but bringing youth to better understand their walk with Christ through uplifting devotions touched me the most. He is clearly a special and deserving man. :) Thanks for sharing this video.
Wow watching this made me tear up. The world definitely needs more awesome Teachers like Mr. McLeod.
most wonderful video I've seen in a looonggg time!! Mr McLeod seems like one of those rare teachers that truly inspire kids
I have seen this video about six times now and it is still the best tribute to a deserving teacher, man, father and human being I have ever seen. Every person should have a Mr McLeod in their life!
From my perspective. I'd say, "Every teacher should have students like these in their life."
@@jimmcleod7286 I wish I was one of them sir! The building blocks ...
He is a very gracious man. I'm so happy he got the glasses. To get such a wonderful tribute speaks volumes about the man.
If all teachers were like him, school would be exciting and more students wouldn't drop out. This man did NOT miss his calling and is truly blessed. May he have a long and happy teaching career. He certainly deserves it!
J Walker, maybe I should show your comment to the boy who fell asleep in my class last week.
The testimonials alone... must really have shown him that he picked the right thing to do with his life. How immensly gratifiying that must feel.
"Someone take his glasses back" This is truly amazing.
@@jimmcleod2030 honestly happy for you God bless
Sounded like a movie scene lol
I died when he said that
I know this video was posted a while ago, but I have watched a number of these types of videos and I don’t think I have ever been touched more than by this one. What a beautiful way to honor a seemingly wonderful man and what a lovely display of community and love. God bless you all.
saw it for first time today. lovely!!
Wow. What an incredible man to make such an impact like that. No matter how old they get, they will NEVER forget him .
As an astronomy teacher I bet he can't wait to see pictures of space hahahaha!
well i guess he's now staring all the time to them
Haj Tom the view from earth is amazing. Unfortunately, when looking outside from earth, it's all latte color. The actual color of the sun is not orange/yellow/red..it's just bright white.
Space has no colors
Doug In Texas space has colors, but colors that out of human visible spectrum, that’s why we view it as no color/black.
@Tanasha Brown enChroma.com they're about $340-$369
What a wonderful man! I'm so happy for him. Now he'll be able to see al of the beautiful colors that we all take for granted.
Thank you for posting this publicly. Not having known Mr. McLeod, I feel as though so much of him came across in this video! I loved the joke he pulled on everyone else!!!
Melissa, I can be pretty sneaky when called upon.

I don't know mister Mcleod , but obly looking his eyes, i see the kind of man he's .. True hero of our century , every people deserves to meet a teacher like that in his life .. congrats and thanks
Man what a tribute!!! Makes me wish I had the opportunity of being in one of his classes. Teachers like him are rare and special
There is nothing better than giving something in return to a wonderful teacher.
That hit me right in the feels...
Imagine how MINE felt.
Jim McLeod of the Clan McLeod
@@jimmcleod7286 bless you Mr. McLeod you are truly 1 awesome man ❤❤
This is absolutely beautiful in every way; Mr. McLeod is truly blessed and has clearly touched many lives. We need more of this in the world!
A lot of love in that room.
Good men do great things, great men do God's work!
My heart skipped a few beats ❣️ How wonderful!
God Bless! A USAF Veteran 🇺🇸
Damn mannn...i want *HIM* as my teacher!
I remember it like it was yesterday; more than 25 years ago, my favourite teacher, everyone's favourite teacher; Mr Tregoning, left to become the deputy head at another school. He was just one teacher out of about 20 at the school, but such was the grief of the students that classes were cancelled for the day and everyone, and I mean everyone, cried their eyes out. There were kids lying on the floor, beating the ground in anguish, some kids cried themselves sick, others walked the corridors like zombies, sobbing and choking on tears. Some kids even threatened suicide, and they had to bring in councillors for a couple of weeks after. It's incredible what affection one can feel for a really great teacher.
Teachers of America deserve a lot more praise and appreciation. They teach the future leaders.
GuyThatCommentsVids why just teachers of America might I ask?
Adam Cunningham I never said "just teachers." Try not to make up words out of thin air that someone didn't say...Plus this is a video about a teacher. I felt no reason to include other professions even though I feel others do need to be appreciated more. I like to stay on topic of the video that I'm watchin.
GuyThatCommentsVids
Adam maybe wanted to say: Why teachers of just America? ;)
*I* and *Adam Cunningham* I would imagine because they're an American, and it would be outside of their normal experience to know how teachers are treated in other countries. Here, they're not valued as highly as they should be, the profession doesn't have half the respect that it should, and they're paid a pittance of their worth.
Maybe (probably) teachers are underappreciated everywhere, maybe not. What's wrong with someone sticking to speaking about what they know?
Love this video. I bet I've run across it 5-6 times over the past few years. There is nothing like a great educator.
I cried like a baby through the whole thing ... what a blessing!
What a beautiful way to honor a beautiful person! A blessing not just from his family, friends, students, teachers, staff, etc but from the good Lord as well. Clearly God has blessed each person fortunate enough to meet him, by bringing him in their lives as well. Thanks for sharing.
im a grown ass man why the fuck am i crying??
thanks for this video.
Out of all the terrible things that I continuously watch on TH-cam about our world this was truly a breath of fresh air
Mr. McLeod, I don't know you but you seem like a wonderful man. Congrats on being able to see the colors you previously hadn't been able to see! And Thank you for obviously being an unforgettable teacher to so many. Lastly, Thank You for enriching these kids life with God.
Ill never forget my high school physics teacher Mr McDuff. His outrageous passion for science was contagious. He would go on tangents from what we were learning and have the entire class just enthralled in what he spoke about. Lovely guy. Hope he's ok.
Absolutely amazing. Teacher's like this should be recognised and Im so pleased that Mr McLeod got to have his day because clearly, he's touched many lives, hearts and is respected by many.
A really moving tribute to celebrate a gentleman who clearly loves his job and his students 👏
Wow he seems like such an incredibly sweet man with the love of teaching. Wish I had a teacher like him when I was in school! God Bless him
Love honoring teachers that leaves a mark on students! Grateful to see this , thanks!
Now THAT'S a teacher!! His heart touched so many and his impact is clearly is endless
Wolf, I trust you noticed that my heart has been touched in return. My heart is not a limitless tank. I need filling like everyone does. My students have offered lots of strength.
@@jimmcleod7286 I wish my teachers were as genuine as you when I was in school.
Sounds like a well deserving teacher. Great job on giving him his colors. There are a lot of people that care about you. Best of luck.
Awesome....also he looks around very slowly, he actually looks at people and connects.....he seems like a teacher who "sees" you...
Mr. McLeod. Fine job sir. Fine job indeed.
This video is truely Beautiful. It's so nice to see a teacher that's touched so many lives, and those lives touched are blessing him right back. So amazing to see !! This video made me cry ❤
This is so amazing. I can't imagine having such an impact on people's lives like this.
Way cool! He is a fantastic teacher for sure. Thanks for sharing. A huge shout out to all those who contributed to a fantastic gift
This is a beautiful tribute! We need more teachers like Mr. McLeod!
Ohh the happy tears! If we're lucky, we get a teacher that we remember long after we've left their classroom and school. This teacher is so clearly loved and appreciated, from that sweet video you can tell that he was that kind of teacher to so many people. What an absolute blessing! God bless him and the powerful impact he is leaving on the students, who will then go impact the world in their own ways.
Dear Nicole,
Now at 65 years old, if I try to reflect back on why more students liked me than hated me, you may think that I would have enough data to write a book. Truth be known, I had no idea. But I always was slightly supersticious... if I delved too deeply into "what my secret was", it would disappear.
Here is what I have gleened, and it was true when I started my teaching career, and I suspect will be true for centuries to come...
STUDENTS DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU KNOW UNTIL THEY KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CARE.
If I had a gift, it was expressing how much I cared about my kids whether they would make an "A", or less in my class. I would be silly, play Disney theme songs, create foolish memory tricks if it helped my kids. Some of my kids would tell you I jumped up on their desks. Obviously, they are mistaken.
No "teacher college" can teach those methods. Afterall, those are not methods. All my years in the classroom, I was, for bad or good... just me.
Jim McLeod of the Clan McLeod
This is a beautiful video. He seems like a true blessing to his students.
The tribute video brought more tears than seeing colour for the first time! This says a lot about the quality teacher he is.
Congrats Mr. McLeod!
Omgoodness!! This has to be one of the best. He is so humble. You can tell he is a giver. I can't stop crying. Thank you Lord for blessing thi man and the school.
I don't know you, but I'm glad you exist. Wow, a life lived right.
He handled that so well. From the videos I've seen, the moment these glasses go on it's such a personal experience. And to do that in front of so many people and maintain composure.. amazing
That must be a really good teacher
Never seen that kind of reactions in students
What a wonderful moment.....love teachers like this one. You can tell he cared and they cared right back. Awesome!
How sweet!! So awesome! My smile is overflowing thru the tears rolling down my face!
It's really awesome to see a teacher that is loved by his students and very appreciative of the knowledge and kindness given to them. The world needs more educators like him!
how has this video not gone viral yet?
doesn't contain sex, animals nor violence
agreed! Or word Trump or Hillary.
ikr
This is science not fucking Jesus you moron. Science doing what you thought only Jesus could do. Jesus is fantasy. Welcome to reality. Thanks Science!!
punkrrrock Thank you Scientific values and methods!
Exceptionally good teachers have such an impact on people's lives - they truly deserve the recognition and love of their pupils, and the gratitude of the society that benefits from the education and inspiration they can impart on each new generation. This was a really nice video.
I'm just a Full grown man just sitting here crying in my recliner
You just know by listening to all the testimonials, what a beautiful soul this teacher is. God Bless you Sir. The world is most certainly a better place with your presence in it. ❤️
seems like a rare teacher who has inspired a lot of people, this is what it means to be teacher :)
What an awesome guy. And this school! I wish I went to a school like this. I wish there was a school like this in my town so my kids (when I have some) can go to it. He reminds me of a teacher I had once, Mr. Larson in Magnolia Jr. high school. He really cared about his students.
They should have worn the most colourful clothing so as to make an impact. They mostly worn black or something
Had they worn bright clothing before his eyes got adjusted, they actually could've given him a headache.
I would have agreed with you fully, except that when I saw how hard he worked to keep his composure...it might be good that they didn't. Wow. Either way, amazing stuff. :)
Who the attention whore or the people who didn't know what was happening? Just shut up dude you obv know nothing about this. Fuck attention it's a personal thing people make it about themselves still
They did not fall short. They were perfect. Your opinion doesnt define them.
I've had a lot of great teachers in my life, through college, but at 68yo I can say that Leonard Jayson was the best, and the tributes to this man remind me of him. If you know a smart, kind, emotionally intelligent person who wants to open the world up to children, support them. Encourage them. We're not doing that like we used to.
A truly colorful and touching tribute. Congrats! May it rains skittles from a rainbow upon you. God's gift.
These videos make me cry. It is so simple and pure and joyful. This guy obviously deserves the love he received here ❤ how wonderful
This really reminds me of the movie Mr Hollands' Opus. Mr. McCloud even looks like Ricard Dreyfus!.
I wish I could have had him as a teacher in school. What a great man and Man of God.
@jim mcleod
My regards from Rome, Italy.
You just confirmed to me that teaching the way you do is, without doubt, one of my life goals.
I'm a visual artist and i teach art in my own private studio and i can't even think to my life without all the colours i see everyday.
I can only imagine the joy you felt.
Rock on.
Bye!
That was one of the best things I've seen in a long long time, God bless that teacher and God bless all his students family and friends a true treasure to have witnessed such a wonderful wonderful display of love and affection❤
