High School Student’s Rant About Teacher Goes Viral

[Google]

In case you didn’t know, Tuesday May 7[SUP]th[/SUP] was teacher Appreciation Day. Well someone should tell that to Jeff Bliss from Duncanville Texas. A new viral video of the high school student was posted to YouTube on Monday. The video, which was shot by a fellow student, features Bliss ripping his teacher for what he believes are poor teaching practices.

And if you think Bliss regrets his actions, then you are mistaken. He spoke to about why he decided to lash out at his world history teacher. He said " "I believe that somebody needed to say this. I want to see a teacher stand up and interact with the students, get involved, discuss, talk, question, and get deep into the subject,"

The Duncanville School District Chief Communications Officer Tammy Kuykendall responded to the Bliss’ actions saying “The district is aware of the video and we are currently addressing the situation."

Since the video was posted to YouTube on Wednesday, it has been viewed more than 140,000 times! Reactions from Bliss’ rant have been mostly positive. With one YouTube commenter writing “Nice one Jeff. At least one person in that room was giving a damn about educating the students. Shame it wasn't the teacher.” Hmm now there’s an idea for you Jeff, use that passion to become a good teacher yourself one day.

Wow! wonder what his Mother who is a teacher has to say.

Bliss told News 8 the situation began when he questioned the teacher about why students did not have more time to prepare for the STAAR test. But he said the conversation escalated after the teacher told him to stop complaining. After a brief verbal exchange, Bliss said the teacher told him to leave her class. That's when a classmate begins recording the video that has gone viral.

In it, Bliss unloads on his instructor's teaching style — specifically critical of her passing out worksheets rather than creating lively and engaging discussions.
Bliss' mother is a teacher at another large district in North Texas.

The 18-year-old is currently a sophomore because he dropped out of school for a year. Only then did he discover the value of education.
"What I soon realized is without that education I'm not going to make any steps forward into my future," he said.

Bliss said he didn't know a classmate recorded his rant, but he's not embarrassed about what he said.
He said the school's principal requested a meeting with him on Thursday to discuss what happened. Bliss said so far he has not been reprimanded.
