What Students Really Need to Hear :

Thought this was a pretty good video, worth a watch.

got through 3 minutes.....would have been better spent listening to the sunscreen 'song'

The guys is married.

I could tell him what to do to go to sleep.

Watch his own video?

While I can't say I enjoyed his presentation skills, I did think that the message was good.

Ya I wasn't all into the "waving your hands like a gangsta rapper" mumbo jumbo.... But then again it's focused on us younger hoodlums and a lot of people like to see the gangsta hands hahaha

Wasn't aware clan meetings had wifi.

 

grow up.

Our public schools preach something different

Nice.  But only good for a receptive audience.  One that already agrees.  The rest will stop watching long before it's over.

What? Accusing me of being a clan member because I made fun of someone's hand motions? Wow, and your telling me to grow up?

If this guy really is a teacher, I find his description of the main event, being "Adversity", quite interesting.

Isn't this probably more of a lesson learned by those who drop out of school rather than those that stay?

Comparing somebody's hand motions as "ghetto mumble jumble" is childish and small minded. So yes...grow up.

Sorry if I think its stupid to wave and point like he is spitting a sweet rhyme while trying to make a serious video.

Never did I call it "ghetto" and I don't see how that makes me a clan member? Am I a white suprimist because I think someone is waving their hands inappropriately??

Do not compare me to a KKK member. It makes you look like a huge A-hole

I was trying to make the point that the reason he was making gestures like that is because the video is focused on High schoolers and a lot of high schoolers now a days listen to rappers who make the exact same gestures, at least that's my theory.

The video & the response here are decent display of just how challenging effective communication really is when attempting to appeal to the masses.

 

A-Jay

Next....

Unless you dont' equate "gangsta" /w "ghetto", then what you're trying to defend is a real mind boggler.

I mean...I seriously don't even know where to start. He's using hand gestures to get his point across to a certain demographic that will respond to something they see through media day in and day out that is driven towards them. I would hardly accuse him of attempting to "look like he's spitting a sweet rhyme." These "gangsta hand gestures" aren't limited to "gangstas" Open up your eyes (and clearly your mind.) They are seen all over media by different cultures, races, w/e.  my god...

I understand where you are going /w this and I don't believe you thought it through. You're clearly stereotyping which makes you come across as..well...If a rapper starts doing backflips are those "gangsta backflips"? If I see a guy walking down the street 4 times a week in a Steelers hat, is that now a "gangsta hat"? Would that make you gangsta now? See where I'm going /w this.   

I hate full moons...
