- When Jim O'Connor's students at St. Francis High School in La Canada, Calif., learned where the Vietnam veteran and math teacher spends his free time outside of the classroom, their respect for him multiplied exponentially. Steve Hartman reports.
When he's not torturing kids with calculus, he's on a whole other tangent. I see what you did there!
haha
Dammit, math puns.
Is not about being fun, is about teaching kids how to grow up....this guys is the best.
One of the great things about this is no selfies. Ppl today are quick to show the world their good deeds on social media...instead of just doing it because it's the right thing to do. Bravo
A real man does what he does.
Your services have influenced the kids, and babies, of our future in a very positive matter.
Thank you.
Omy omy i really pray for this man to find a good companion so he wont be so lonely. He is one of a kind! Now please stop chopping those onions. People! 👼🏼
Oh.God.. I have to get off this channel..the tears are rolling.
Very loving and caring man!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those babies are blessed!!!!!!
he is such a big inspiration and do loving and caring
Quiet giants like this make all the difference.
Just made me smile
This made me cry. 😢 I am going to be a math teacher and I want to be like him. Supporting the community.
What a remarkably touching story about an amazing man, teacher, volunteer and veteran. Thank you for your service sir!!! 💙🙏💜

Reminds me of my dance teacher. An observer sees good in everything.
Yes this Chanel makes you cry
My hat is off to you Jim.

He reminds me of my language arts teacher
Did anybody read the title i teach a math class while my teacher helps gives birth
aw I wonder why he never married. XD explains why he loves kids so much. he doesn't have any of his own.
Of only he would realise that some adults (his students) have missed out on love too, and need some of that good stuff just like those babies. School shouldn't be fun? Might as well bring out the whips again. Learning is only effective when you like what you're doing.
0:33 but the seven year old .... god dammit Brian you fucked up agian
1:29 "Centro de donantes de sangre?" Oh, what has happened to you America?
Nah, just kidding..
I was always pretty good at math. Especially algebra and geometry. Although I sort of got lost in calculus. But, I really believe that math can be a fun course. You just have to teach real world math. Even the ability to build an audio speaker cabinet involves complex math and physics. Also, math courses should teach students how to think. Not how to use calculators.
School can be fun....I was a Poster Child for that way of thinking....and I knew my teachers were NOT going to hold me back....they wanted "this Child from HELL" gone....period. I did learn from them in so many ways too....I do wish O had been a bit less rambunctious too...oh well...live and learn! This is a wonderful story! Cheers All....and I'm STILL having FUN
Does it mean o connor hospital who knows???
"School isn't fun. ." yeah but with our education is mostly consists of nothing useful. Most kids find a wholleelelel lot more interest in things they know they will need to use later in life. 😂
If he hadn't become a math teacher, he probably would have become a priest. A great man. When Christ separates the Sheep from the Goats, there is no question about Jim.
Not all great people have to be religious
still..............i would prefer a fun teacher......
you should be able to make school fun because kids will not want to come and will be bored
make a balance between learning and fun
@ 2:20 Why is that childs ear pierced?
+nodnod winkwink - that's what we did whenever we found a kid in 'Nam. Took'em, taught'em calculus and pierced their ear. Then we'd set them free so the Viet Cong would know "hey, a kid with a pierced ear doing calculus. The US is here!".
I guess old habits die hard for Mr. O'Connor.
+nodnod winkwink They do it @ dr. offices now @ 6 months of age. Some friends of ours had their daughters ears pierced @ the dr., when they went to get their 6 month booster shots. It's better than getting it done in some unsanitary mall I guess? We did not get our daughters ears pierced btw.
I got my ears pierced as a baby, I'm also Mexican.
