    She is the type of teacher we need our schools. I wish I had a teacher like her

      Brittney Allen I agree. But the sad thing is, in many school boards across North America, this entire interaction can be seen as harassment. Teachers can’t do anymore what they used to. 😔 so sad.

      Yeah even though she's getting paid she don't care about the money she loves her job and loves reaching out to certain teenagers to strengthen them I love how she was so pushy on him...only a little to get him to man up and try again...she was like boy you ain't quiting on me I don't care how much your struggling I'm gonna help you out...and I'm push you whatever it takes to get it done.

      @@HeyMyLifeIsLibby well at least it wasn't anything like that she was only doing her job and being compelled to help Andrew out with his struggled so he'd pass his classes in order to succeed.There weren't any unwanted physical contacts going on like that here.

      SO they can all burn themselves out in 3 years? (Erin Gruell only taught 3 years) Ruin their marriages? Have the job overtake their life? That is a lot to expect from people. WHy do we expect this from teachers and not from any other profession? Teachers are there to teach. They are not social workers, psychologists or probation officers or parents. They are teachers. If you want schools to be equipped to help students beyond their educational requirements every school should have a cop, a psychologist and a social worker on staff. Maybe offer free hot lunches and breakfasts. But nobody would want to fund that, they would rather complain about teachers not doing these jobs (for free) instead. Teachers have to make lesson plans which are fun and challenging, (imagine coing up with presentations for work all day, on how to educate people on different topics) implement them, decorate their classrooms and the bulletin boards outside their classrooms, help struggling students, challenge the gifted kids, grade assignments, and control classrooms full of children, and ensure their safety/whereabouts, organise field trips/guest speakers, implementing and creating IPPs, supervising the hallways on breaks, dealing with bullies etc. That is enough of a job by itself without complaining that teachers don't drop by students' houses to ensure students get their homework done. Teachers SHOULD put boundaries between their professional and personal lives. They are not there to "save" students. They are there to teach.

      @manofsteelgoodmanll.2512 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yeah at least she understood he was struggling and wanted to help I loved how she was encouraging Mario to try again when he felt like giving up on the assignment.

    He sees himself as a failure and she’s acknowledging she sees him, and he’s not a failure. It’s so much deeper than a grade,this scene always gets me .

      It was still a powerful moment though I admired her beliefs she was able to see right through her student's strengths and weaknesses to understand that their fighters and brighter kids to be great in life she believed they'd end up successful with the right type of teachings given to them to inspire and motivate them I loved what she did...she was badass took so much guts to do a job like that in my opinion.

    This girl is phenomenal she cared about mario....to not let him give up on himself based on him struggling with things she reminds me of my supervisor telling me to keep my head up...and say it's alright your doing best and that's all I'd ask of you so relax your fine....she likes me and she also has my back no matter much stubborn I am or how idiotic I can be she appreciates me no matter cause she understands my flaws as well as my strengths even my weaknesses. She inspires me to be better and the best part is she listens to me...I'm like Peter Parker when I'm stuck or feeling sloppy the girl is phenomenal she looks out for me even helps keep me out of trouble.Real facts.... even if i tried to give up or feel pity on myself she'd be furious with me to make me try again.Even though we're keeping things professional she does like me cause she's shown me signs....she can't bullshit me....she's warm and fuzzy like my work wife to always be there for me when I need a little help or encouragement....she's there for others too but mostly me as well.Sometimes I can hear her voices in my head.

    I have a teacher like her. She changes my life every day. I’m white and grew up in a all white hood and what the white kids in my town would go over to the next town (a black hood) and call them “nigga” and racist names. Most elementary aged kids in my town have never seen a person of color unless they went to a foreign country like Japan or something. So most people didn’t know how to react when seeing a person of color. My teacher got some kids from the black hood and kids in her classes (whites) and talked to all of us and made games so we could actually see that we are the same. Every time a get an “F” on something she doesn’t let me get away with just getting an “F” she makes sure my grades were good enough to pass and graduate.

    • @sofiamoreno9178
      @sofiamoreno9178 4 ปีที่แล้ว +24

      She's mad because she knows that he isn't a failure and he can't just go on in life with a mindset like that. "That's all I am" I mean I would NEVER let a kid go on with a bad thought of himself like that and plus she is trying to make those kids feel worth it cause they grew up feeling like they weren't.

      @manofsteelgoodmanll.2512 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      She was gonna let him give up she was gonna take the urge to try again she knew it was a lost soul so that's why she was pushing him to do better on the assignments even if he was slacking off she understood he was struggling the girl wasn't gonna let him quit that easily at least she cares about him.

    Why is he crying?

    • @manofsteelgoodmanll.2512
      @manofsteelgoodmanll.2512 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Because she cares about him to see through his strengths he didn't feel she'd cared about him that to reach out to him he felt like he didn't deserve anything so she convince him he was wrong and that she was not gonna let him give up on something he worked hard for, the girl was right if you allow your self to fail before trying again then that means your doughting yourself before you could even try that's why he cried cause he was struggling and she was gonna help him with his problems.

    • @gingerisevil02
      @gingerisevil02 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Because she’s acknowledging a core wound, he sees himself as a failure and she’s essentially saying she “sees him,” and she’s telling him she’s there for him. She cares, and as a child who has not felt cared for it makes him emotional.
