In the interest of full disclosure, I’m a big Obama supporter, and this video is from Obama’s website.
Having said that, I urge you to watch this video, not to make you support Obama, but to see what a high school classroom is like at its best. This isn’t a room full of next year’s Harvard freshmen. It’s a group of kids in a Bronx high school class with a teacher who is . . . not a one-in-a-million, TV-movie-of-the-week teacher, just a teacher who loves his students and knows how to use his dedication to help them grow as people.
As a high school teacher, I can tell you, this is real. It’s the way high school students are when they’re involved and unafraid. As an old softie who is a sucker for a great classroom moment, I was in tears most of the second half.
It’s a little over 10 minutes, and well worth your time.
