I posted this one several months back - I love it. Thanks for posting it - it can't get enough play.
I suppose it's also a good litmus test to see if someone's a moron or lacking a soul, because every good teacher - and everyone who's had at least one good teacher - will get this video.
That is one good dose of truth.

ReplyDeleteHe is terrific (Mali)--I had the pleasure of seeing one of his poetry performances a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteHe's a former teacher? That's the saddest part of this - I'd love to know he's till out there inspiring our kids.
ReplyDeleteI think he does still teach, gretchen, but he's a poet and "slam" performer as well
