I agree wholeheartedly with the message being presented in this video. I'm a yellow bus driver, and I've implemented the fist bumps, high fives, and hug and the smaller children have responded very positively. Some of my worst behavioral issues were resolved by simply hugging the child acting out, and whispering softly in their ear. They now come on the bus looking for their hug, and many times exit the bus also expecting that hug. We can do a lot of harm or a lot of good. I choose to do a lot of good.
We need more people like you, God bless you

All children need to be loved and respected
Came for the “did you see that” meme, stayed for the message. Sooooooo so important.
Great video and conversation starter. Parents need to think as well about how they communicate with children; the responsibility is shared. It takes a village to raise a child.
A smile with a 5 second compliment can change someone's entire day. BE KIND.
LOVE this!! Always make children feel loved, valued and heard! Such an awful thing to smother their creativity and individual personalities.
I am proud of this video and applaud the Atlanta Speech School for sharing it with the world. I am a mother, advocate for excellence in education, and a former Board member of the Atlanta Speech School. Despite my community advocacy, my own daughter suffered academic neglect and personal rejections by several teachers in her private middle school in Atlanta. My daughter was damaged from this abuse that was simply rooted in racism and she suffered. She grew in strength though, and is now thriving as a lovely, focused, ambitious and intelligent young woman. She knew she was loved. Still as her mother, I cannot forget the cruelty she suffered and love the models of care and kindness shown in this video that all children deserve. Children are our innocence and our hope, all children, each one.
This just got all of my feelings!! I was homeschooled and only had a similar experience to this a few of the times I attempted to go to private/public school. I was overwhelmed by being told to "sit" "hush" multiple times a day. So glad my mom was able to provide a great education for me and that schools like this one provide amazing experiences for students!! Great video!
If you smile at a child remember it might be the only Smile that child ever gets! Who knows what they get at home.
Powerful! How adults treat children matters. Every human being should be treated with dignity and respect regardless of a persons age, race, or gender. Love and kindness makes a difference.
I love this video. I've always remembered the teachers, bus drivers, and lunch ladies who were nice to me at school. It would always make my day. I work with elementary school kids and I always ask them how their day went and have actual conversations with them. Instead of yelling at them for every little thing they do I try see things from their perspective. You can't tell kids to be nice and respectful to other kids if all you do is yell at them and are always in a bad mood. You have to set an example for them. When you treat kids with kindness and respect, they'll do the same for you!
This is so powerful! We must help our children by making a difference every day!
The video makes a valid point very smoothly, although any qualified teacher worth their salt already does this. Anyone needing a film like this to tell them not to be obnoxious to kids shouldn't be in a classroom to begin with.
Well it is for the teachers or staff who need a reminder, so times we get in our own way and think this is ok and forget about how the students feel
0:08 is a perfect reaction meme
You predicted the future
This is my new favorite video. It eloquently shows us how our attitudes affect those we serve, whether in a school setting or anywhere where people rely on us. Please share widely.
I am so guilty of this sometimes. this hurts.
It is wonderful when you can recognize this behavior on your self and CHANGE for the BEST!
then the video did its job, sometimes we need a reminder, I sure did and the next day I was the Happy Teacher
Waldorf Education GETS THIS. It takes practice and intention, but developing respectful relationships with our students is Priority One, from Day One: for example, children are greeted at the classroom door Every Day by their teachers, who shake their hands and look them in the eye - Every Day. Waldorf students are Seen, and Acknowledged, and Encouraged - this is not the exception, it's the community culture that we intentionally strive to create. This video brought tears to my eyes - both remembering my time teaching (and being taught) in public schools, and then knowing how transformative the Waldorf school experience was for my own kids. THIS MATTERS. WaldorfEducation.org
1:55 made me happy
Everyone loves to be celebrated. Take out time to be nice to that child.
I am going to show this as a part of my monthly new classified orientation. What a great opportunity to show classified staff they will have an impact on students one way or the other. This will help them understand the value of choosing the positive path!
I love this video so much!!! Yes!! Yes!! Yes!! How you treat people absolutely matters!! YOU can change someone's whole trajectory just by showing that you genuinely care about them. Be the difference!!
Why is this private? The world needs to see this!! :(
Hi, we have updated the settings. Please feel free to share.
Thank you very much. This is a vitally needed message, and a well-done video. I really appreciate this.
We don't need different teachers, we need More teachers so they're not trying to handle such huge numbers of students, and we need parents who don't insist that schools be run perfectly while not doing anywhere near enough of the work of raising their kids. And we need politicians who'll properly fund education, not endlessly demand that educators do more with less. Corporate tax cuts won't help long term economic prosperity if tomorrow's workers didn't get an education.
agreed. ☺
All research shows it's not class size but the quality of the person conducting the class. Small classes meant more union members not improved education. As a matter of fact, the quality of education has declined over the years that union control (and government control) increased.
Research shows it's not class size "past a certain size", which where I live is considered to be 28. Teachers will tell me that more than 28 really starts to get out of hand, even with normally behaved students. As to your second point, do you have a citation for that?
Your comment is not supported by evidence. It is the opposite. Less overworked teachers, smaller size classrooms, teachers who have a realistic/fair earning wage tend to care more. Of course there are always exceptions. Some people do not love kids and the work they as teachers do. So that is another story.
True, motivation and training really do count, but can the best teacher handle 60 students who've had energy drinks for breakfast instead of food and who aren't engaged in the curriculum? It's a Lot of factors that make up a good school environment. Having a working education system helps retain the good teachers and prevent them being burned out.
How can anyone tell a child the world is worst get use to it. We need to make that change. When ppl smile at you or just help out alot is communicated there saying I can make a difference. Tell yourself I am the change I want to see in this world.
Wonderful Atlanta Speech School!!
Thank you all the way from The Netherlands!
Smile for all of you from a Dutch teacher (30 years!) and counsellor and " Create Energizing Communication with Troubled Youth " trainer !
A clear message! (and everyone knows that the hugs are not always possible, but a genuine smile and really looking in the children's eyes have almost the same effect!!)
Wow! Just Wow! This really spoke to me today. Thanks so much for reminding me I do what I do for a reason!!
Hands DOWN THE BEST VIDEO TO DATE. I'm sending to our school principal here in Southern California.. It can definitely be USED and our school with the teachers to students. It's baffling how teachers treat the students.
Nice video. Common respect - we should respect students because they are people (and my momma taught me so). Nice reminders.
I will always treat children as if they were my own you never know how they are feeling🤩
Life don't give a crap about your sensitive feelings, just pay attention what other's are trying to teach you!
Always positive attitude make you work better
What an excellent video! This is the sad reality of many schools in the USA. I have witness this myself as an occupational therapist working in different schools. Education in USA needs to be a priority. There needs to be more humanism and more money invested towards this purpose vs allocating so much money towards the military.
i was shaking my head the whole time, you have no idea
This is perfect. I watched a teacher crush two students into tears within fifteen minutes of each other. Made me want to be physically ill.
So true! This is beautifully executed!
Lil bro SPINNIN with the 360s
Always be nice to children. Always.
I've been bragging on this video since I first saw it. It convicts me as a teacher and as a future administrator. Thanks.
Thank you! I will share with my college students who plan to work with your youth.
Jordan Carter?! 😳 Playboi Carti?! 😳😳
Excellent!
The kid in the seat at 2:01 lmaooo
So powerful! Love this!
I loved 🥰, totally agree make feel warm welcome all kiddos is extremely important this video has strong points!!!
This is just like my school, they always want respect and always say “no talking”. I believe what the teachers are saying is actually true. We should not talk during school time or class time.
factory line school teaching has been proven to be a bad way of teaching, students should be allowed to communicate with each other and figure out problems together. was quite the shock when i finally got a job and realized im actually allowed to get help from coworkers or use the internet as a resource to help with my job
there’s a time to talk and a time to listen
this is amazing!!!
Is that playboi carti?
This is amazing. Thank you so much for posting!
I have had only one teacher growing up in scenario one. It happens, but is more rare than they are implying.
i am a teacher and am sure you would agree in the life a child even one is too many
I can sadly assure you scenario 1 is way too common.
Give them Compassion👌

I think that this is a tremendous video and it was shown to a group of educational stakeholders in our community. I think that the examples here are subtle and no teacher or cafeteria worker can avoid sometimes appearing uninterested or uninvolved. I agree with comments that this does not show children with serious behavioral challenges, and it does not address the critical need for smaller class sizes, more time, and more support for teachers, administrators, cafeteria workers and others. We need to better support employees so that they can better support students. I do realize that families are more stressed and that teachers alone cannot meet the needs of children faced with poverty and trauma. It requires an integrated approach with many partners. And yes, as someone commented, sadly, the "real world" is harsher. However, those points do not diminish the importance of this video. Think what we would gain as a nation if we provided proactive compassion, interest, and enthusiasm for our students and created an engaged culture that celebrated learning and each child's potential. I have worked with children and parents for decades, and I can tell you when I went the extra mile students and others noticed. I don't think that anything can replace genuine caring. You can be firm with students and set boundaries in ways that are compassionate and supportive. Just setting positive expectations rather than always negative ones makes a difference. I applaud the persons that made this video.
I'm extremely frustrated by this video, but more than that, I'm saddened. It is another slap in the face. It is just more of the on-going media-bashing of teachers that is prevalent all over this country. It is the video our helicopter parents arm themselves with, and share excitedly, with other helicopter parents, or worse yet, with bulldozer parents. Teachers are in the profession because they love kids, and we put our heart and soul into the job. We are passionate about what we do. We spend 60 hours a week at work, then take work home on weekends. We rarely get praise or any sort of acknowledgement from parents. We take a beating in the media daily. We do not teach because we have summers off (can we stop saying that old, tired line, please?). Do a little research and find out just how many teachers quit in the first 5 years of this career. It's always been near 60%, and climbing rapidly these days. Then the "summers off" line carries no weight what-so-ever. This video implies the well-behaved and respectful children are all being treated this way in an unwarranted manner... and by every staff member at the school. Maybe if they would have shown the children who didn't follow the rules in the lunchroom, being rowdy and loud, the silent lunch consequence would be seen as, indeed, warranted. And it likely was. Having a silent lunch as a consequence? How horrible!! This depicts poor, little angels who did nothing wrong and aren't those teachers so mean? The media teacher clearly is explaining expectations in the center. What's wrong with that? Taken SO out of context there as well. This video isn't the real world or a real school. These kids were quiet, respectful, cheerful angels in every clip...didn't you see their halos? Please! Many kids today are rude, disrespectful, and entitled. If a teacher tells a child to be quiet, trust me, there is good reason. They also lack self-efficacy, independence, a work ethic, and confidence. Why? Their parents don't hold them accountable, coddle them, make excuses, and belittle teachers in front of them. They don't want poor little Johnny to experience any sort of pressure, age-appropriate stress, normal conflict with peers, disappointment, or failure. In truth, all of these things are great teachers! I wish I could tell parents to land that helicopter already and let us teach your children what you are not. But we no longer can even try. Our hands are slapped, or worse, if we do. We can't teach valuable life skills or discipline children when they need it (and they all do at times) because parents head to the principal or superintendent when we do. Wow! What a lopsided view of reality this video is. Again, so sad!!
You are soooooo right on so many things you said. Parents, not teachers, are the point that needs focus in the triangle of growing students. First, we, as educators have to accept we work with STUDENTS and not children. Parents own children, Teachers work with STUDENTS. Many of the things we deal with as teachers we CANNOT FIX because that is the responsibility of the PARENTS to establish in their CHILD. From that, we can be teachers for their child. We can be Teachers for OUR Students. We can never think we are parents for our Students. Define the roles or fail the child AND the student.
Kids have no expectation to carry on being "angels" regardless of who is in front of them. Want to find the real child in our students, put a substitute in a classroom. I honestly don't know how people teach above 3rd grade in some schools. I've subbed. Some schools, I would take any assignment in the building. When you look at the makeup of the children coming into the building, almost every child makes the daily transition to STUDENT. Yes, they bring an apple into the room. Other schools, you couldn't pay me enough to sub in 3rd grade and above because so many children never transition to Student. Their parents haven't instilled upon them that they must RESPECT (not do blind obedience) to competent authority figures. That means Teachers, bus drivers, janitors, their peers, whomever is in the school.
Some of these children are going to end up in jail for most of their adult lives because they have been taught that it is OK for the world to change for them. That thanks to things like equity thinking, they are entitled to do as they freaking please. That is an attitude that will fail the child. It is NOT an attitude that a Teacher teaches. It is also an attitude that a Teacher can not unteach.
Teahers do love teaching and teaching to their students. As a 50 year old man, I went to a community college and university near me. One of the things I spotted is even with young adults, or really adults, they were never taught how to appreciate the educational opportunity presented to them. They don't know HOW to study. They don't know how to interact as a student. They don't know what it means to be a student even though most of their life they have been a student. Parents need to be doing that for their child. Notice all the people these children came in contact with were NOT their parent yet these people were shown to be the ones who are responsible for showing children how to be productive members of their community. The traits the video shows as good and bad in a Teacher/school staff are the same things parents do to their children. Yet where is the video for that?
We want to fix the education system in America, it will start with the parents. Period.
Well the truth hurts. Stop being so mean
YOU ARE SO RIGHT! However, parents will not learn until it is too late and their kids become childish adults that never grow up.
It is indeed sad that this was 6 years ago and yet the problem persists and parents are still blaming teachers 😢 for how unruly their children are.😮
Instead of showing the frustration in only one side that u think it’s students the problem. Why not make it a positive issue. One where u speak of making a video addressing both sides both parties being the problem, because teachers, and staff can be cruel as well. Yes parents need to educate their children at home better in giving respect. But I remember being a child going to school and having all this staff being so rude and showing favoritism to others. But u can’t speak of this because in ur world this doesn’t happen with staff it’s the children and parents right?
Well done.
Why does this feel nostalgic to me
It is hard to watch the first part of the video. I think I am always careful about how I communicate with students. Even if I am not having a good day I don't let it affect how I treat the students.
That made me about 😢 this is 😢.
This are really great messages 🙏🏼
Beautiful :) Well done
Muito bom video...os felicitamos desde Brasil...:)
Powerful!!!
Potent message!

This is on point!!!!!
This is awesome !
Bring back recess!
There is no recess anymore!?
In many schools in the US, it doesn't exist or has it's playtime greatly reduced. It's a sad world we live in.
Recess now is extra test taking strategy time
At my high school, all I get is a 40 minute lunch break to eat and talk with my friends. The other 8 hours of the day are spent in the classroom.
Alex Liang 40 minutes we only got 20
love this!
Wowww. Powerful. Real. Painful.
Excellent message in this video!! Side note, is it appropriate for teachers to be hugging students?
The question we should be asking is why should it *not* be appropriate for children to grow up and learn in an atmosphere of love and affection?
Another question is who does it benefit to raise a generation of children to be suspicious and paranoid around adults?
Hi, Steven, this is a great question. Actually, we call appropriate hugs "side hugs". They are definitely acceptable. It's very sad to say, but in the demographics I teach in many of our school children never get an appropriate, meaningful hug from an adult unless it's at school. Most of them are lucky to get fed after they go home from school. Yep, that is in America.
Aaaaaaand, that's part of the problem. Why shouldn't teachers be allowed to hug students? Are we afraid that it will turn them into pedophiles? Seriously, it's a hug. A HUG!
To be fair, they've earned it. About 1 in 5 girls are the victims of sexual abuse, and that often begins with slowly breaking down barriers (i.e. evolving to full-frontal hugs).
Ideally, professionals should be using a "side-hug" and it should be initiated by the youth.
No, a child hugging an adult does not trigger sexual abuse. sexual abuse is initiated and maintained by the adult only. The child goes along with it out of fear of being harmed, fear of being blamed, feelings of guilt, feelings of shame/ embarrassment, and overall grooming.
beautiful
I love this
3:23 that scene could have been made better those 3 just had the door shut in their face but this video though the feels I wish much elementary year was like this why cant they show this at schools
very powerful
This was a really good video
At school I'm so used to the first part of the video I didn't know anything different
So that where that meme came from
Such a sweet video. That makes so much sense. I have a query here. I run a coaching center called The Learning Institute here in Lahore, Pakistan. I have several kids coming here, out of them all, one is extra naughty or somewhat uncontrollable. He is sharp in mind with big dreams but absolutely out of track. His concentration span is next to none on studies. He's always being naughty and detract, therefore I do alot of counselling and at times get harsh with him too, to make him realize that how he's playing with his life. I have countless times let his parents know about his behavior aswell and found them too helpless. Can any body tell me please how to tackle such child and get him focused on studies. Mind you all the lovely counselling techniques are being experimented.
wow! beautiful
Awesome Video
Pretty accurate
i love this video
It’s true, the educators need to shaping up, but students are just as bad. It’s a two-way street educators are over, burdened with misbehaving children who don’t get the proper discipline and can run amok, it starts in the child’s home.
I know what this is saying and I agree with the message, but you have to look at it from both sides. You can’t just have a one sided view and say “all teachers are negative because of blah blah blah.
Children are learning how to navigate the world. How to deal with emotions, how to behave. It is completely normal for children to be children. And if a child is systematically misbehaving, there's probably a deeper meaning behind that. Schools need to be trauma informed and try to teach the kids strategies of how they can soothe themselves and communicate their needs. A lot of kids experience abuse at home so they lack this skills.
very nice video.
great video
Children need to be respected and protected but unfortunately we , teachers and students , must follow rules. It seems that this child like so many is looking for affection from adults.
Where can i get this video in spanish, so everyone understand 100% of what this is about; i would really love to reproduce this into our school where teachers need to learn the difference between a happy education by being yourself kind, and a forced induction education where you just follow the rules.
It’s really sad how education has changed a lot
who's cutting onions
Is there a copy of this in Spanish??
im crying
How do I get permission to share this video in my training class?
Is that Priah speaking in the background?
That's how the teachers used to talk to us old heads.
What is the song name?
