Hello mi amores! Like a few days ago my
brother showed me this video about a student that is just an amazing human being (video). I
applaud him and honestly, being completely real here, I
admire what he did. Coming from studying in a public school and then moving to Brazil and studying in a private school what he said is
99.9% accurate and true, the difference is uncanny! Our generation needs a voice to bring to life what's important and what we need to open our eyes to... One of the things he
said that caught my attention was "If you want a kid to change, to do
better, you got to touch his freaking heart, you can't expect them to change if
all you do is tell 'em..." I tutor and teach to ages
of 3 to like idk 20 and you can tell that when you love what you do and you're not there simply for your benefit, it's different and it not only makes lessons fun it helps the whole learning process.. So anyways, I think that he shouldn't suffer any type of punishment, could he maybe have said it better? Yeah, for sure! But let’s consider the fact he DROPPED OUT of school and CAME BACK a year later realizing that his education is important, like my momma always says there's no such thing as too much Knowledge! And with those words i'm leaving, buh-byeeeeeee!
