"You think you know anything about me?"
I know you had your baby child filling out a job application for you. Now sit down and turn to page three hundred and ninety four.
Haha good one
Haha.
You madam earned my respect for the page reference 😂
Bold of you to assume she can read numbers 😂
But professor Snape
This movie is called Beyond the Blackboard I believe. It’s free to watch on CZcams and is a true story of a teacher in a homeless shelter changing the whole system and her students lives were forever changed as was hers
Thank you for the context that apparently the garbage Creator couldn't even bother to do.
Edit;
Yeah it's in the fucking description. Which (in my defense) almost NEVER happens.
Oh yeah, changing the whole system huh? No. Because the system HASNT changed and it’s in more trouble currently than it EVER has been because we are passing and graduating students with this SAME EXACT PROBLEM!!! Reading, writing, math levels all below grade level 4. Maybe look into what’s going on Baltimore RIGHT NOW and finding out that 75% of graduating seniors couldn’t pass the state wide test MADE FOR FIFTH GRADERS. And they’re hardly the only district facing these issues. Kids are in 1st, 2nd, 3rd grade and aren’t potty trained. They can’t sit still long enough to learn simple math and reading and are just being passed because of no child left behind. We are currently in the most technological advanced phase in history and churning out adults who won’t know how to count to 10 without their fingers, they can’t tell time, they don’t know who the first president was, they can’t fathom how math and science work, how very simple things work. It’s not a joke- we are currently 25% lower for our average IQ than in our ENTIRE HISTORY. That’s AVERAGE IQ meaning that there’s plenty of people who are much dumber than that. We currently have more mentally ill, autistic, adhd etc people than has ever been recorded. Ask yourself how it’s now 2 in 5 people have one of these or a mixture of these things that used to affect less than 1% of the ENTIRE population on earth- ENTIRE POPULATION. That means it’s now increasing at a rate of 38% a year now in order to be 2 in 5 against the current world population. And I would bet 90% of people who read that, don’t understand how to calculate statistics so don’t understand how you find that number.
You should be worried and stop believing in the fantasy of feel good movies. SMH.
@@bradenharris8718 wow Braden, it's crazy how you make such an insanely long comment and completely missed the context. Obviously this is a movie. So it doesn't directly translate to real life, so you need to chill...also this movie is in the context of the teacher teaching homeless kids, so it has nothing to do with your regular youth in the United states. I'm sure that you know a lot about it and yes it's a problem, but aside from talking statistics, what do you propose that anyone does to solve the issue? What do YOU do to help the problem? Or do you just like to complain about shit online every single time that you have the chance?
@@bradenharris8718 I meant the system they had in place for homeless children. They eventually made it easier for homeless children to attend regular public schools and not just a one room classroom without any resources or support. I’m by no means saying the public school system has been fixed she just improved the circumstances for homeless children to be able to learn.
Thank you!! They never give the name!! Ik why they don't but it's still exhausting lol
“The things we take for granted, someone is praying for.”
I’m reminded of this little saying everyday. This was today’s reminder.
That's so true
Facts❤
preach it
negative. if you're praying you suddenly learn to read you have bigger problems than being illiterate. Bullshit like this is also meaningless white knighting and virtue signaling. Get out there and actually do something about it rather than spouting nonsense in a youtube comment section.
Or the fact your Lord is The Most Merciful and has been taking care of you since you came to life in the womb…The Lord All Mighty is Forever Living and takes care of all His Creation
I like how she's initially defensive but lets up after being told it will help her kids, like she puts aside her pride for her kids :)
Edit: I got a ton of likes but at what cost 🥲
Only when it benefits her. She still was willing to pull them out of school when while relying on their education. She did not put aside when it mattered.
@@PhotoJeticPoetShe kinda had to no job means no income. No income means not enough mouths to feed along with no roof over their heads. Time is also money and in the end she did throw away her pride because she didn't want to rely and make things harder for her kids just because of her ego.
@tempest8746 I'm really happy to know there are people like you who have never encountered these kinds of parents. You have no understanding of how they think or their patterns of behavior. Keep believing in people man it's cute.
@@PhotoJeticPoet 🤣Bruh this is a literal movie. Her story and characteristics are literally designed to be this way. Do you need help understanding how to identify the difference between reality and fiction? Or do you just wanna get upset and feel like you were right about something? I'm genuinely curious about your response.
@tempest8746 so movies and characters are never based in reality right? I spent 5 years in childcare and 2 years as a teacher. These kinds of people exist. I didn't say this is real video footage I am just saying these types of people don't deserve praise for being selfish af. Yes it is a character do you think that means we can't have a conversation about the damn character?
Untwist your panties and chill you didn't even have to respond to me I was talking to OP about and in reference to the comment they made.
We are aware it's a movie, does it offend you that I'm discussing the character or you just bored?
My grandpa couldn’t even spell his own name, but he worked his butt off his entire life. Life is what you make it.
👍
What is that even supposed to mean?
Times are different now
As well how you make this whole comment making it sound like you're going to be inspirational and then you proceed to end it with "life is what you make it' even though that has absolutely nothing to do with what you said before. What are you talking about??
Lmfao my grandpa could read and had an easy and very lucrative life 😂🎉
Learn to read its not 1800 anymore
Knowledge is a treasure which increases the more you share.
Sadness is an affliction which decreases the more you share.
That's a good point.
unfortunatly knowledge is overpowered by stupidity
An old man told me when I was 12 to always remember this: Knowledge is wisdom and wisdom is infinite,I asked him what it meant, he told me that I had to find the meaning of it
That was back in 1980 and I try to give that nugget of wisdom to anyone who would want to learn
Oh that's good I'm keeping that one
Knowledge, or actually wisdom, paired with love is the most beautiful, powerful combination!
The thing about people who need help, is often that they want it, but are defensive about receiving it. Often attributing it to others trying to get one over on them or trying to get something from them or even making fun of them. Good intentions can lead to hell, but at the end of it, you know you did your best.
Sad part is that it's not even based on assumptions they usually feel and react that way because of something or things things that have already happened.
Because most of the time that is exactly what they get
@@brendafite I know. Trusting people is the hardest thing at times, but we learn who we can and cannot.
That's called an inferiority complex
You know, for all the terrible things that happened to me in my childhood, I am grateful I was given the chance to learn to read. Sometimes it's nice to appreciate things like this that we take for granted.
Agreed. Reading has been one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever received in my life - so grateful.
To be totally honest, i wouldve been a lot better off working than being in school past about grade 2.
@adararelgnel2695 so you'd rather be stupid?
@@mkg2124You don't know what their situation was like or what their struggles are/were, so there's no need to be rude.
@@mkg2124there’s a huge difference between uneducated and stupid. And a lot of education systems are pretty crappy in recent years so….. maybe they meant school was a waste of time in that way.
What got you so hostile? Wanna talk about it?
I say it all the time "Teachers should be paid like sports stars" Our future depends on them.
Here in the Philippines, they used to post this in every primary school: "Be proud you are a teacher, the future depends on you."
How much do you want to pay in taxes? I disagree with public education. Parents are responsible to teach their children and not the State.
@@TexasHoosier3118 I'm sure you do.
You are absolutely right. People playing with their balls shouldn't make as much as those that form the future.
@@TexasHoosier3118well maybe if the assholes running the country would stop giving our money to other countries we'd have more for teachers
A great teacher doesn't just help the kids usually. They help the whole family. Teachers truly are great and important pillars to our society. I wish more people would realize that.
The actress who played the mom died from cancer a few years ago. Very very sad… RIP Queen
That’s so AWFUL!!💔😢

People like the teacher are true human beings.
I like how the teacher met the mother where she was. Where she was needed. ❤❤❤
Was a lovely experience to help my grandma learn to read and write.
Same for me❤
😢 heart breaking is that this is actually true.
My Dad had no real education, before he ran away and signed up for service during WW2 he was 14 and a tall lad for his age and able to conceal his true age for the next few years and into the Korean conflict. When he got back to Canada 🍁 and met his love of his life, Mom a part of veterans care hospital were they met. Dad had about a grade 4 education but he had been given a blessing because Mom had been teaching in the village where she grew up in. And as all us came along he would do homework and lessons with us all and he would go on to be a crossword fanatic scrabble in English and French. And then numerically he could see the numbers as monetary fractions could add subtract multiply divide columns upon columns without a mistake. And his hand writing still gives me a glow in my heart that his writing was like a swans grace it was so beautiful flowing and I have never seen anyone else that could match it. Not even calligraphy could compare it was that beautiful.

My heart breaks for the Mother. She has to act the way she does because she is sooo vulnerable and feels so helpless and weak. The teacher is an Angel. I could hug them both.
I think, some of the schools, that have pushed through students and not done their jobs, while the children are growing up. I've known some of these people, and yes, they are good people, but they lose so much from life. And, when something comes up in the future, who can they truly trust?
It’s people like this that change the world and don’t even know it
We all will be that person ❤
A teachers calling.....teach...no matter the perceived barriers.....
I helped my mother to read English. Our tongue is Polynesian dialect. She was fluent in Japanese so English became her third language. ❤ I was 10. I'm 72 now.
What is this movie? The gal playing the mom is Nikki Aycox from my town. She died a couple years ago from leukemia. What a great actress she was. More importantly a great person.
Rest in peace Nikki Acyox. She was such a great actress

@@FionaApplewright she died November 2022 from Leukemia. She was only 47

My family is Mexican and my grandmother and great aunt had to live with separate white foster parents for a while. My aunt couldn’t read for years and I found out it was bc her foster parents didn’t teach her bc she was Mexican. Only 2 generations ago that’s wild to me how things have changed so drastically from then to now I still help her write from time to time.
My daughters BFF was mixed and wasn't allowed to sit and eat at the table with everyone else at her grandmothers house.
I love how the teacher wanted to help the mother learn to read it would definitely make the mother feel better about herself and it helps her child know that she’s willing to learn right along with her so she can learn to help in her in the future
A teacher is always looking for ways to help people improve their education to improve their life
I know so many adults who can't read. I do my best to help them and not make a big deal deal about it because they are so embarrassed. Like one time a coworker was trying to figure out this paperwork, not many knew he couldn't read well. So I grabbed it from him and said, "dude your hand writing is horrible, (just covering that he couldn't read) let me do it for you." He was really greatful.
Sometimes-- OFFERING Help is easy but,Accepting HELP n maintaing ur own self esteem is Hardd 😢
She's got a sweet smile. I'm so in love with her smile.
She's A GREAT Teacher and Human❤
I love this movie. She makes a difference in all the people's (adults and children) lives at this shelter.
What's the movie?
@@kmk09 Beyond the Blackboard.
It can be really frustrating for adults who never have the chance to learn admin they need help, that teacher was the best
My wonderful uncle doesn't know how to read or write but that man can build you a house from the bottom to the roof, plumbing and electrical included. He has worked for this company in 👉🇵🇷 for 42 years. When he died his supervisor for 42 years told us at his funeral; my uncle helped the maintenance engineer when the machines broke. Not bad at all for someone who just has 2nd grade of elementary school. I miss my uncle and the summers we spent together. See you soon tio Ruben.
Back in the day at 🇵🇷 it was like that. They did not know how to write or read, yet they learn other skills to survive and provide for their families. It was a sad and hard life, "el campo es triste", como dicen, but you know how our culture is and we never let it take us down.
My grandma never went to school while my other grandma was a schoolteacher. I love both but when I came home crying after class cuz I couldnt write my name in Mandarin (my schoolteacher grandma taught me, I just couldnt grasp it) my illiterate grandma sat me down and helped me practice until I got it write. Until now, all she can write is our names but she made sure she memorized them so we could at least write that.
Many teachers have gone out of their way to confidently teach parents how to help their children at home. They are not paid or recognized for what they’ve done because it was just between them.
There's so much shame and stigma about not being literate but people forget that knowledge and education are privileges, not rights. It's sad that's it's that way, and it shouldn't be. People that can't read and/or write should never be made to feel shame for it. You don't know what someone's been through, you don't know their life.
It cost nothing to offer kindness and compassion. ❤
if it isn't the child its the parent and just helping is WHAT teaching is all about. peace
My dad was like this.
Would pull us (my brother and I) out of school to bale hay or go to horse shows or if one of our mares (female horse) were in labor.
I grew up in a very small town in central Ohio late 90’s early 2000’s. His dad did the same when he was growing up in the 70’s and 80’s. My dad always said “our life is a little different on the farm” it was just our way of life.
never too late to learn, theres a saying "live till old, learn till old"
I had a pretty horrible childhood but my escape was school. I'm sitting here now with a BA a MSc and I'm about to start law school. I'm thankful for those teachers who understood dirty clothes, dark circles under my eyes, missed days because my parents were strung out and the days when no one showed up to get me
Both are truly good actresses!
I wondered what happened to the actress playing the teacher. Haven’t seen her in anything in YEARS. I like her.
I think that's Emily VanCamp, she was in a bunch of Marvel movies!
All I see is Nic Nevin
I love the Resident
Me too
I was just about to comment the same thing
Nice was my favorite character I cried when she died
That is a wonderful person and what being a great teacher should be as a goal in life.
And so shines a good deed in a weary world
I never did understand why people who have never been taught how to read and write would feel any shame at all. It would mean that the school system failed you if they allowed you to pass out of school without having those skills. I find it highly admirable that anybody can be illiterate in this day and age and managed to survive when reading and writing or so necessary to survival. Clearly they are far from dumb because they definitely managed to hide the fact that they cannot read or write and still survive still hold a job still provide for their families. Nobody should ever be ashamed of not being able to read and write and everybody around them who knows they can't should help them as much as possible to learn those skills.
Again I highly admire anybody who can survive in the world without those skills period to be able to do so is a great accomplishment
Literally one of my favorite movies ever
What's the name of the movie please?
What is it?
Beyond the blackboard
@@blake_bean_16 thank you 💜
This is a perfect example of how stupidity makes you angry
Pop was only able to pass 11th grade as the 12th grade English teacher hated him, so he failed in her class twice, married Mom at 20 and her only 15. She and he raised 5 kids, adopted one and she home schooled the last. That one went to college beside two of their grandchildren, my Son and Nephew. Now my Granddaughter is in college, and doing well. And we still respect his Silver Star from the Air Force. He didn't need a degree to get that.
I remember my late grandma. She can cook rice cakes of all sorts, can cook the best meals I know...but can count money, read and even write in cursive but in a slower phase. Can sign her name slowly. She didn't get the chance to have a formal education but she's the best mother figure I ever had. No shame on my own mother, but my grandma has always been gentle. I miss her so much.😢 She died at 83. 😢
If you steal the damn footage, add the name of the movie to look it up
Hit the three buttons in the upper right hand corner, and you'll see the info in the description. I just saw someone explain it below and its been so long since I've done it myself, I forgot about it until the reminder.
This is such a powerful lesson. If we offer help. Encourage the person with kind words and reminders of why its important such as it helps your children if you can read. And letting the person know that you will match their efforts and will be there for them. The reason we have such a hard time getting through to people usually is because we can't see that they are struggling and sometimes that means they will lash out. Fighting fire with fire just causes an out of control fire so if we take a breath and remember to be kind, give them some grace and continue to encourage them to take our hand so we can help them we can actually make differences in all our lives. Honestly it would even allow for those who don't care or don't want to be bothered by difficult people or stupid people to have a "better" - easier and more efficient life. Because these people would be reached and able to function better meaning there would be less difficult people. I say that because at the end of the day if the intentions are wrong but the actions make the world a better place its not that bad and definitely better than staying ignorant and continuing the vicious cycle those people are in.
She has grown in to a very solid actress. Her emotions are realistic and responses not overplayed.
Best gift you can give anyone is knowledge
I'm so scared and saddened that young women rely on social media and are not educating themselves where it matters. They are easy targets to be taken advantage of, manipulated into crime and sex careers. The public education system as a whole is so focused on nonsense and not our children, we need to make a change and make it fast before its to late.
I guess it is a worldwide problem nowadays..so sad..
Teachers are not the enemy
Ones like her yes but I've had teachers who should be in jail for life so it can go both ways. I choose to believe there are good people out there even if you have many bad experiences there's always good ones to be had as well. Nothing is ever just black and white in life. Honesty, kindness and understanding are qualities we as humans should value above money, background or status imho.
@reneecrimson937 I agree and have met bad teachers who should not be in the profession but the profession as a whole are not the enemy and there are many teachers who provide a safe space in a world of chaos for kids.
Good loving kind teaching empathy the world needs more teachers like this❤😢😢😢😮😮❤❤❤😊
She is so kind 😊
My mom had to ask my eldest sister to fill out birth certificates for the younger children, and they were messed up. Smh when I was pregnant the doctor asked if my parents couldn't read and write and I had to tell them, in front of my child's father, that my mother was illiterate. 😢 He never made any comments on it or ever brought it up again but I was still embarrassed
If you hit the 3 buttons at the top right corner you magically have the ability to choose to read the description. Usually the movie name is there. @ everyone asking for the movie name
Thank you for that information. 👍🏽
RIP Nicki Aycox. ❤
The moment she said “you’d do that?” You could see her inner child longing to be given a chance
When the teacher says, "WE could do that!" ❤❤❤
warms my cynical heart 😳
Mom wasn't having it until the teacher showed it's for the children, not for Mom.
I had a friend, now deceased, who was in his 50s, and still somewhat childlike. He was illiterate. The local library had volunteer literacy coaches. Someone suggested that my friend go there to learn how to read. It changed his life. He became a voracious reader and was so proud. It was wonderful to see.
👍
Aw so wholesome
That's to show most of our parents don't know how to read but still put in the effort for us to learn and not to follow the path
Many libraries offer reading programs to teach people how to read and write and they're usually free
is the kid primrose from hunger games?
That’s what I was thinking, I think it is!’
My son recently enrolled in primary school and it turns out this is something they actually offer. They made it known to all parents that if you do have trouble reading or writing yourself, to just have a discreet chat with one of the teachers after picking your kid up and they would help you out
Really？
Kindness goes further than judgement

My grandfather was a block Mason for 40+ years. He provided for his family and he is the funniest and most humble man you could come across. He was never taught to read because he had to leave school in elementary to help the family run their truck farm. That's why he had such amazing work ethic. People are on here criticizing something they REALLY know nothing about. My well read grandmother could have taught him to read. Some people prefer to leave others ignorant for the sake of their own gain. Or he was just not at all interested. He made great money and never wanted for anything. Because he made sure with his own hands to literally build a life, along with building much of Columbus, Ohio. Why bother reading?
Because it is essential.
Because reading opens your entire world to new views and people and ideas that you didn't even know you could think about dude
It's great your grandaddy was okay not reading but firstly that doesn't work in modern day and secondly being kept ignorant or being willfully ignorant is the saddest existence you can lead
Knowledge is a beautiful thing although no one should EVER be shamed for not being able to read EVERYONE should have the opportunity and everyone should be able to so they can seek their own knowledge and views of the world
reading is essential. it’s not possible in modern day to succeed without reading. my grandparents couldn’t read either and had to rely on their children to decode basic paperwork. my grandfather managed to build a house and support a large family, but couldn’t fill out hospital paperwork when my mother got sick as a child. your grandfather did well, so did mine - but that’s an exception not the rule.
So people won't take advantage of you. Knowledge is power. There's no shame if somebody doesn't know how to read. That's not their fault that they weren't taught as a kid. Now as an adult in control of your life, to willingly choose not to learn something is staying ignorant.
If you can't read a contract, you don't know if the terms and conditions are in your favor or out to trick you and put you at a disadvantage. There are evil people who will take advantage of your ignorance. They can lie to you something means something because how would you know any better? This doesn't diminish any of your grandfather's accomplishments. He sounds like an amazing person otherwise you wouldn't be so proud of him. But please do not belittle the importance of reading.
Great man indeed. It wouldn't make him less to know how to read and write.
“You think you know anything about me?”
I know you can’t read or spell 😂
I wish I had a teacher like that back when I was in school.
You'll meet.
Since I grew up in the city, I never seen anyone who cant read or write or do basic maths
I went to a remote village for a road trip, thats where I found out, that the village of 400 people and only 14 people were educated, knew how to read and write.
I planned with the 14 people and came up and set up school and facilities after much pressure to the govt.
I also went up there and taught the kida english, maths and basic science
This was 10 years ago, so proud to know that kids from that village has now have access to good educational opportunities and doing well.
People dump
Like how she doesn't judge her but offers to help her, beginning of a good friend let's work together
Thats actual compassion
👍
You actually put a full description in the DESCRIPTION! I wish I could give it 2 thumbs up.😊
When I worked in a nursing home, there was a navy vet who couldn't read or write, he wanted to be able to write to his great-grandkids and show his kids and grandkids that he could learn because he wanted to be able to read what they wrote to him, and because he wanted to write letters for every one of him great-grandkids milestones because he had a chronic illness that was going to kill him before he would be able to see the first of them start middle school, me and a few others sat down with him a couple times a day and we taught him how to read and write, in the months before his passing he would only ever leave his room to eat and to show his friends the letters he wrote for his family, I got to proofread a couple of them, they were such sweet letters, he also wrote a bunch of little notes for them like "Grandpappy loves you and is so proud of you!"
Emily is a wonderful actress
I'm borrowing my Mom's story here. My parents were teaching in a tiny Iowa town, like 300 people. She was leading some Sunday school/Bible study class of other adults and proposed that everyone would read aloud. Someone pulled her aside after and said she probably shouldn't do that as it embarrasses the people who couldn't read. Blew my mom away. This was a group of modern day adults (it was the late 70s) how could they not have learned to read by the time they were adults?! So yeah, don't assume everyone your age has had your level of education!
My mom is taking her citizenship test in a few weeks. While I was in school learning she did night classes just to get at a third grade reading level. Growing up I did the job applications for her because she didn’t know what some of the words even meant. I’m so happy and she’s so excited we’ve been doing reading and writing after work to make sure she’s ready!
Trying to cover it up with anger doesn't work. Yes, for your children learn to read! I went and got my GED because my children were going to graduate school someday and I was embarrassed that I had quit school. I was proud of myself for getting and told them that I had got it. They said that they were very proud of me and at my age to ace it! I studied up on my algebra while helping my son with his homework. He didn't know that I was doing it. He loved it when I told him!
Always put your kids first,no question
She didn’t say yeah I can do that. She said yeah WE can do that.
There are actually some parents like this now.
I was 12 before I realised my grandfather couldn't read.Unbelievably,he'd somehow managed to hide it his entire life- my grandmother had apparently known but she had died long before Ii was born.He could scrawl his signature but couldn't write anything else.My four year old little brother was learning to read before he went to school so I borrowed his books in secret then sat with my lovely grandpa.I know now there are books more suitable for adult learners but I had no idea then.He lived in the next street so I saw him every day.-he minded myself and my brother until my parents finished work at 6pm.Once he had the basics of the alphabet,he caught on very quickly although my "teaching"method probably left lots to be desired-I just made it up as I went along.Of course,it was secret but occasionally,when at my own home and he came round,he'd remark on something written,such as a birthday card,saying that's a lovely card from Jack.By the time I was fourteen,he was an avid reader and able to read whole adult books-he practically lived at the library.I never told anyone-no one knows to this day-but he lived for another thirty seven years with a completely new outlook on life.
Yes people, KNOWLEDGE IS POWER and it can help you And your children be better in the world we live in now ❤❤❤ SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE SINGLE MOTHERS❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ YOU DESERVE LOVE TOO!!!!!
Ik this doesn't connect to the video but I screamed "IS THAT PRIM FROM THE HUNGER GAMES?!?!?"
SAMEEE
An inspiring true story is that of Ben Carson the surgeon who ran for president. His own mother could not read. He and his brother were unaware as she made them recite their homework daily and redo it if it didn’t sound right…..instilled a work ethic and learning ethos that is often missing today. I believe she did eventually go back to school and now has a masters or doctorate. Her encouragement gave him the fortitude to keep pushing and never believe he would not succeed.
