    This clip not only makes me emotional every time i see it, but it also resonates with me so much! I spent two years in an english school and suffered horrible racial abuse, bullying and alienation! None of the teachers ever stood up for me bar just one! My history teacher! Looking back, he would look out for me on the playground and whenever he could see I was close to having enough, he would call me over, and ask me history related questions knowing how passionate i was about the subject! But also because i didnt want to disappoint him! Great great man who Im still in touch with, and even had over for christmas dinner two years ago!
    School can be a tough place for many, but one role model can make a hell of a difference!

    I love this and can relate to it.
    I began my teaching career wearing an academic gown preparing lads for university and finished it teaching troubled lads in a PRU in Liverpool.
    I had the honour to be one lad’s best man at his wedding but stood at the graveside of one of my lads who was out of reach and took 8 bullets to the chest.
    I am now 68 years of age and recovering from surgery for cancer but I owe everything to a teacher named Alan Jackson who fired a passion in me and inspired me.
    I am proud to have once been a member of the teaching profession.

      ​​@@michelericca6728t was 'Public' last week. Wonder why they've changed it
      Looking at their feed, most long (longer than a minute) videos seem to have been taken down. Maybe they can't be bothered any more. Shame.

    I’m so glad that Ian got to be reunited with his beloved former teacher, and I’m even more happy that it was caught on camera so that Ian can relive it and cherish it for the rest of his life. Rest In Peace, Mr. Pigden.

    It goes to show you how important in society that caring adult mentors can have a positive impact in children's life for their lifetime. This nurturing and positivity makes for better society that gets carried on decade after decade.

    The honor, respect, love! He has and, still does for that man’ who is no longer blessing this world, with his Kindness.
