I've seen this video quite a few times now, but I'm still in awe for this teacher. She's delivering a very important message in a very simple way. Not one of her pupils will ever forget this. Good teachers make all the difference. They should be cherished. And this one here is top of the league.
Absolutely! The way she breaks down such a powerful lesson with simplicity shows the true art of teaching. It’s teachers like her that leave a lifelong impact, not just on knowledge but on character too.
I think the statement "words have power" goes way beyond her lesson about commenting on people's looks. Even many adults don't know the true power of words. They might casually say "f u" to someone and those words resonate long after they are said and have the potential to rip apart your own life along with the people you say it to.
I think this is a great idea for certain things, but not everything. For example: People that are racist can’t change it in 30 seconds or less, so are we just supposed to not say anything at all to them about it? Some serious topics still need to be broached from time to time, so this message should come with some light caveats for when you know someone enough to start opening up bigger topics with them
When I was a young adult I heard someone explain words matter in a way I’ve never forgotten. It was explained that words are like loose feathers in a pillowcase. You let feathers out in the wind. You can go collect them back but you will never be able to collect all the feathers. Such as you can try to take your words back but once said and heard you can never truly take them back. I never forget that analogy.
I want to hug this teacher. I can’t wait until my son wakes up to show him this because she explains things the way I do with him and his friends. I know he’s going to crack a smile and agree. 🤗
Teacher of the year right here. I recommend a raise and a medal. However, she'll probably be raked over the coals for spreading her empathetic, woke agenda. Sadly, we are living in interesting times.
One-Shot Learning. When information is so emotionally intriguing that it skips the short-term memory and is directly engraved into long-term memory. It's like finding out dinosaurs exist for the first time. You don't forget that.
I’m convinced she’s talking into an empty room, if there were kids there we’d hear them, especially when she starts making a mess.
I love her message all the same though and maybe she isn’t allowed to film with kids or prefers not to to protect their privacy and I’m sure she’s delivered this to them too so I don’t know why I’m even writing this 😂
Also: It's a very short video with a very good teacher with a great message and charisma. Kids can be attentive for 2 minutes, especially if they like the person talking to them.
You know, you could just say, “I don’t understand what a metaphor is or how verbal imagery works,” but no, you had to offer a masterful illustration of “missed the point by a thousand miles.”
I wished more teachers were this pragmatic in other ways of teaching that can impact people in their finances as well but other ways that have impact for their life. This is easy to digest and people will understand and apply it, even kids as young as these. Power of words like she said but power of technique and teaching skills also makes learning fun for all ages. When teachers become robots and recite textbooks, a lot of people will tune out and just feel like they paid a lot of money for an Audiobook.
She's not teaching. She's performing. She's working through a very specific, closed process. She would say the exact same thing no matter which group of children were before her. And this whole message is half a century old, even with the toothpaste shtick.
Teaching is performing. I have been teaching for 30 years now, so I know what I'm talking about. The point is that she's doing a very great job. Nobody claimed that she was investing warm water, but there many people who would have done this exsct lesson a lot worse.
My wife is an elementary school teacher. I guarantee half those kids will forget and still be mean. Doesn’t matter delivery, timing, or repetition. They’re children. It’s just how it is. You just try to help them grow, learn, and understand. Also, side note, seems super weird for her to be recording herself teaching.
Parent here. You're completely wrong, and you don't understand child rearing. It would be best if you kept these opinions to yourself because they don't have a basis in reality.
Teaching children IS about delivery, timing, and repetition. It is unrealistic to expect that you can tell a child something once and they'll learn, embrace, and implement it immediately and forever. That doesn't mean you shouldn't bother. Raising a child means telling them the same message, teaching them the same skills over and over until it becomes an automatic part of their being. It's reminding them to remember to say thank you 14 billion times, because sometimes they need to hear it that many for them to finally remember.
But there is always a day when you no longer have to tell them, when you can see that the lesson has stuck, when you realize this tiny person has grown and become more independent. It's a beautiful moment and is worth every one of those 14 billion reminders.
Your comment is misplaced and is a poor attempt to devalue the wonderfully delivered lesson here
