This will serve a tribute for all the teachers who are very patient in teaching students in order for them to learn. This is a nice post.

I contacted my sixth grade teacher over a decade ago. I was contemplating a career change into education and wanted to ask her advice. I also wanted to tell her she meant the world to me and I loved her class. She actually remembered me and the very talkative friend I was always getting into trouble with. She was an absolute treasure. I am glad I was able to tell her she made a difference in my life.

Awesome! I was at this talk in SF! It was fabulous and I had the chance to meet Dr. Jeff after it. I had no idea I was watching a music video in the making.

Great video! How great it would be if the politicians driving and controlling so much of education could view it and truly understand……

Superb video and song. Life is a journey of discovery, not testing. Examinations are only a small fragment of education. You don’t need a certificate to swim, and having one won’t save you if you can’t swim well enough.

I cannot watch without crying. You nailed why we need good teachers. I have shared it with my daughter’s principal and teacher and they are chuffed but most of all, I hope they are inspired and buoyed. I hope it makes a Monday morning not quite as difficult as they can be. I think the inspiration and the passion must be cultivated with our teachers. And thank you for sharing the light amidst the darkness. I think this should be our National philosophy, not just for the lucky ones who have seen it. If only we could stop the teaching for a test mentality….it IS beating all of the joy out of the classroom.

What has been compelling for me is having the JOY of learning be part of our mandate as teachers. This is our moral imperative, every bit as much as the content.

Thanks so much for this enduring message for teachers, and parents — and for all those who have the right to let our legislative assemblies know that the power in education, the exploration and gleaning of knowledge, cannot be judged solely by a requisite standardised test at the end of it all.
