This video still gives me the shivers after a decade or more online I thought I remembered it from before 2009? I think this speech will go down in history as one of the greats

You make an average of $30 k above the mean usa salary with a guaranteed 10 weeks paid vacationbrbrGet off your cross
Comment from : @TOAOM123

Teachers average salary is higher than the average US salarybrbrMost American adults wish they made as much as the average teacher
Comment from : @JamesWelbes

LETS GOOOOOO!! “I make a goddamn difference Now, what about you?!”
Comment from : @gunnarpoulimas3046

As a teacher this is the motto I live by every Single Day I have a lot of the "noble students" because my first lesson of the year is protect each other because adults can't always do it A boy from my after-school program got into a fight with someone at recess and when asked why he said "that kid was picking on a first grader and I told him to stop, but he didn't listen so him and I got into a fight" If that's not courage and dedication I don't know what is
Comment from : @nicoledeclue3759

That's the kind of propaganda my English teacher shows my class
Comment from : @Schneter

I wish I had had more teachers that actually cared about their job, like this The only things I really learned about, were the things I occupied myself with outside of school

"Those who can do, do those who can't teach"
Comment from : @firstlast7090

Meanwhile, nine years later, in 2021, half the teachers have lost hope and stopped trying Most the students are so distracted by bullying, problems at home and addictions, that they can't concentrate Bad kids dominate the classrooms and belittle learning Education and curriculum are driven by DC politicians who have no idea what it means to teach And computers have replaced instruction I know this first hand And this is why I retired from teaching
Comment from : @civilization57

My professor showed us this on the first day of education classes in my teaching program So damn motivating
Comment from : @luridfox

I wish all teachers had this passion Great speech

Comment from : @teribayahia7169

Well done Mr Mali
Comment from : @sociologybydesign5004

Thank you Taylor! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Comment from : @nyima04011

i performed this in hs speech and debate, and my conservative christian coach kicked me off the team for making an "obscene gesture "
Comment from : @bennyghazi

This will bNEVER/b get old I can't tell you how many times I have watched it and recommended it to friends I am a retired teacher - 34 years in public schools - and it does my heart good to watch this every time Thank you so much, Taylor Mali
Comment from : @jd3422

What a fabulous routine and reply I love that you have a policy about honesty and ass kicking Unfortunately, after teaching for only one year, and being unable to support my family back in 1974, I went into sales But 25 years ago I went back into teaching at UCLA Again I can see how I really make a difference Money is no longer an issue when I learned how to become wealthy Now I can donate 100 of my coaching, book and program profits to charity

I directly quoted this so much when I ran an after school program Especially the bathroom line during homework time This guy is a genius I listen to this once a year for the last 10 years
Comment from : @kellyfarrar6639

Comment from : @kayleahmorris7587

I am a retired teacher, 34 years in public schools This is always a go-to for me I have shared it numerous times Thank you so much, Taylor Mali If I ever meet you I would love to give you a hug
Comment from : @jd3422

The sheer indignation of those last few lines is awe-inspiring
Comment from : @nekroz_of_super_dora3477

Every time I listen to this, I always shed a tear and keep on teaching I need to listen to this more often
Comment from : @PyroMynx

Anyone here been slapped in the face with an A-?
Comment from : @Wolfmyth100

So I think there was a bit of a misunderstanding here The attorney was asking you how much is your annual salary? That's kind of a fuck questions though He was merely attempting to illustrate as a teacher you likely earn 1/3-1/4 as much as him
Comment from : @amateuroverlord8007

Arrogant self righteous bully Typical teacher,this is why they people should homeschool

What a bully,typical teachers Self righteous thug
Comment from : @brianchandler1966

i love this video I watch it over and over again whenever I get depressed as a teacher Taylor Mali is the teacher of teachers
Comment from : @oghanayou

In one of my classes we started slam poetry and this was shown to us Everyone knows that teachers are paid way less than they should because teachers are who make use lawyers, doctors, chefs, even teachers Someone said that because of the low pay, you'll know who loves the job and is not in it for the money The teacher teaching slam poetry said that she loves being a teach I don't know why someone who rates kids or the job would stay a teacher because when they are miserable, they make others miserable but I know there are some

I love this
Comment from : @josueguillen8209

Teachers make a small amount teaching children to work carefully and not make mistakes Many lawyers prefer to defend a person's big mistake or go after another's small mistakes
Comment from : @Sporadicus1976

I understand that "education" needs a "career path", but administration has devoured public education at all levels When I attended K-12, there were more students and a fraction of the "administration" there is now (with the efficiency of computers now)brNow teachers are being weaseled into bringing materials to school to use in the classroom, and there is a big noise about tax deductions for it! (when I worked in the corporate world, no one brought anything to work!)brIf administration were cut, not only would teachers have what they need, we'd still have funding for art and music!
Comment from : @hughhemington9559

That guy is so cool!
Comment from : @katelynnemece581

The world would be a much worse place without teachers They teach you how to get through life They teach you simple math and complicated trigonometry but they also teach you how to be you The most important things they teach, are not in a textbook or on a worksheet I will forever be grateful for my teachers
Comment from : @haleybriggs3248

I cringe hard when I see people misspelling words like definitely and beautiful

This arrogant, self-rightous bully is why I believe in homeschooling
Comment from : @brianchandler1966

I love this guy I hung out with him a few years back, while he was in Qatar Very inspiring Keep it up Taylor!!
Comment from : @cronkitesatellite

If I had a dollar for every time I've shared or referenced this EPIC performance, I could retire from teachingbrbrbrbrBut why would I want to?
Comment from : @CorrieBergeron

This guy is what is wrong with teachers,an arrogant,narcissistic and self righteous bully
Comment from : @brianchandler1966

There is a war on teachers by PARENTS and ADMINISTRATORSif I did what Taylor suggests, I would be fired This message needs to get to the PARENTS and the ADMINISTRATORSthe teachers already know this!

Comment from : @zachcarpenter2410

this is an interesting poem because it flips back and forth between narrative storytelling, and abstract ideals
Comment from : @zachcarpenter2410

the only things that bugs me are that my teacher was telling my class about him and she said he started writing poetry and was successful, so he quit teaching Also, for a teacher i think its inappropriate that he swears
Comment from : @cawa3896

I cannot love this enough This is such an inspiring piece I come back to it to remind myself why I do what I do and renew my vigor for finishing my degree
