Why argue about age, education, or even the fact that he is talking back to his teacher? He is standing up for what he believes in and if he thinks that the teacher is doing a half *** job then I respect him for voicing his opinion. It's HIS education after all.

Yes, because we know what's going down on a measly wittle video. Well played sir. :clap

If only life were that easy.
 
No, I believe calling the kid a jerk is acceptable. Here is why. He was out of line talking to an adult like that. Period. This is what parents aren’t teaching their kids anymore. It’s called respect for your elders. If he had a problem he could have gone about it a different way. Instead the little **** disrupts the entire class and acts like an douche bag. If he wants to be treated like an adult he needs to act like one.

Just my opinion homey!

Apparently she had just kicked him out of class and that was his parting shot. All most teachers do is maintain the status quo, and they do THAT vigorously. If he had voiced his concerns in private, she would have just swept it under the rug like teachers always do, and no change would ever happen. Any request for change MUST be made public if it is going to be effective.
I respect competence, not age. Just because someone is older doesn't mean they are worthy of respect. They could have just sat on their ***** and gotten old, doing little of merit, and then they want respect because they got old? Nonsense.
If the "teacher" was worthy of respect, she would have gotten it.

Is everyone who speaks out with passion about an issue not acting as an adult?

Maybe unwavering compliance to the status quo and saying yes massa is your definition of acting like an adult, by accepting without question the status quo. People like that don't make any changes.
How would you suggest he get changes made that will actually spark action? Maybe a public rally would be in order, in front of the whole school.
I once told my teacher of a better way to multiply in 1982 when I was 12, by multiplying left to right instead of right to left, and holding the tally in your head. It's faster and easier that way. She said it was extremely interesting, but no change ever came of it.
I know from experience that speaking in private does nothing.

What beneficial changes did you innovate that you spoke" like an adult" about to your teachers that actually got implemented?

Recite your success story and your winning approach to making real improvements in the public school system.
 
My success story? Pretty much my life. One big great success and I have done it without being a whiney disrespectful douche bag. Blackthorne that's about all the response you will get from me because frankly I believe you are the type of cancer that plagues this Earth. A real lunatic. And that's me being nice. :duff
 
Am I the only one who think this was set up in advance? I mean the camera was rolling at the perfect time, in the perfect spot, and he even looked at it. I bet he knew coming into this class he was going to do something to warrant getting kicked out and told his friend to have his phone ready to record. Just my opinion though.

I meant your success story in changing the school system for the better. You just brought up a red herring.
How exactly would you have him convey his concerns? His concerns HAVE been brought up before, in private, many many times. What did it solve?
You are basically saying there is nothing wrong with the system. You are basically a pro establishment person who thinks there is nothing wrong with it, because if you succeeded in it, there is no reason to change it whatsoever.
You have no interest in any real improvement, basically because you are anti change. Improvement is change, and change is bad to you. Isn't that the REAL reason why you don't like what he said? I don't think you disagree with his method so much as his message. If you agree with the message, how should he have proceeded, exactly? It sounds to me like you would just want him to say his concerns in private to make his opinion known to the teacher, but then let the teacher essentially ignore it since the system is just so perfect how it is. That's being an adult. Say your opinion quietly, and then get back in line and then nothing improves.

Actually, the camera was rolling at the most imperfect time. We did not see the lead up.

Plus, do you know how long it takes someone to whip out the camera feature on their iphone? 3 seconds.
 
There's good and bad teachers, I had one that came into class and simply said he going to go to the back of the class and sleep., which he did.

Why would they roll for the lead up? It wouldn't make him look good. If he did something to get kicked out then they wouldn't record that part. Just saying. Just throwing something else out there for discussion.

I am sure those ideas were just brewing for a long time, and when he got kicked out, he vented his frustrations. If he didn't plan to be recorded, I think he hoped he was being recorded.

He's completely misguided in thinking that the teacher, in 'handing out packets' is not doing her job. If he has a problem with the way the curriculum is developed and administered, then he should be pro-active rather than spontaneously reactive and engage the proper and appropriate channels for effecting change. His outburst has likely achieved absolutely nothing of value in terms of the outcomes he's seeking. What's to respect about that? If I see him in another video picketing the department of education over their policies, with a clear set of grievances and proposed solutions, I'll pay him some respect. Better still he can enrol himself in a teacher training program and try to inspire students as a teacher himself. I wonder how long he'd last.
 
Maybe the kid realized he was in indoctrination camp which is the public school system
