Inspired by the Love of Jesus Christ
Verse of the Day (as related to the topic of this video):
"For the Lord your God is the God of gods and Lord of lords. He is the great God, the mighty and awesome God, who shows no partiality and cannot be bribed." - Deuteronomy 10:17 (NLT)
A movie I highly recommend: The Gospel According to Matthew (starring a very animated and engaging acting performance by Bruce Marchiano, who plays Jesus). This is a word-for-word adaptation that has a unique take on the body language and charisma of Jesus, and also makes it easier to understand and quicker to read the story. I am hopeful that this movie gives you peace, love, hope, security, comfort, and answers, as it did me, and continues to do to this day. God bless you.

Hey guys, if you have a different opinion that’s cool! It creates discussion. However, I do ask that you keep the comments respectful as that’s one the most important lessons to take away from this video.
Fun fact, Einstein hated school. He was extremely critical of it
Conversation a kid had with my teacher:
When Bart said “This is as good as I can do, and I still failed” a tear rolled down my eye. That hit me hard.
I had a math teacher in college, Greek guy. He always complained that the American School system was "too much testing, not enough teaching".
If a student is stressed or literally crying over a bad grade, then something is really fucked up about this system
I get yelled at for not caring about my grades. I mean they ”define if I’m gonna have a good and steady future” but I think my mental health right at the moment is more important than numbers. I’m not gonna have a future if I’m 15 years old and already ready to jump off a roof.
Teacher: "Class, why do you think students cheat on tests"
"If you judge a fish by his ability to climb a tree the fish would think he cant do anything" -Einstein
You know the school system is bad when students are happy when they get sick
The school system is terrible. Kids are literally killing themselves because of a letter, and when they hold memorial assemblies they know why that kid ended their life and choose to do nothing about it. The US school system sucks.
I feel that many students nowadays, myself included, are more concerned about getting a decent grade than actually learning. I nearly failed my first semester in my math class during my senior year. I have literally never been more anxious in my entire life, and literally no one cared except one of my teachers. She was cool. I like her.
I failed so much in school as a kid.
Thing is, Bart is actually real smart. Dude learnt French and Mandarin in like, a week each.
I hate that people call this "learning". Things you learn usually stick with you for the rest of your life, like drawing for example. You study stuff for a test and then forget about it.
The moment when someone's crying because of a single math problem, you know something's wrong
This is a perfect representation of ADHD. I feel like most school systems needs to aknowledge that everyone is different and needs specific programs to strive.
As someone who was always an A and B student, I agree with this so much. I remember when I got an F and I was so scared because I always did well in school. I’m an advanced student and it’s generally difficult because everyone (ex. teachers, parents, classmates, etc.) excepts something that’s extraordinary from you. But when you give them something that doesn’t meet their expectations, you get called a failure and people question how you’re advanced. It really sucks because then, you get all these high expectations of yourself because you were always given the upper hand just because you were “brighter” and “smarter” than everyone else. And when you don’t reach those expectations, you beat yourself up for it because you’re not used to failure. The education system doesn’t care about your health or mental health, they only care about your grade and that is what’s harming students. The system doesn’t care and that’s the issue. If you bring it up they will look at you like you’re crazy and just say, “Oh, don’t be silly. Just study more. Do your homework.” But that won’t help. To sum it up, the education system needs to change for the better, not for the worst.
The saddest part is: Everytime I get a bad grade I feel horrible. Everytime I get a good grade I feel... indifferent. Even though I usually work my ass off for it.
Schools is legit all about grades now and it’s sad how they enforce it
