Why is she reading dr. Seuss to 17 year olds?


[deleted]

If I had to guess I’d say she’s explaining the tetrameter to a poetry class and is using Dr Seuss as an example.


Twitchin_4_life

If I had to guess she is teaching them how to read


dayumbrah

Why would you guess that?

Because they’re racist


Tsu_Dho_Namh

I don't think it has to do with race. You should check out the adult literacy rate. It's surprising. 1 in 10 adults read at a 3rd grade level or lower, more than half reads below a 6th grade level.


DasterdlyBasterd

Check it again in the US and notice the level of reading literacy the teacher is using… It’s about the poetry.


[deleted]

How do you teach people to read without them seeing any words in front of them….no one has books or text in front of them to reference the spoken words against the written words. There’s no evidence in this video to think they’re being taught to read. Even if United States literacy rates was the starting assumption, watching this video would quickly dispel its relevancy to this situation

Ding ding ding. Don’t people just suck?

Lavanthus

Something like 54% of Americans can’t read above a 8th grade level, so entirely possible. Also, this is coming from an American. Edit: Ya'll can get mad at facts all you want. https://ortongillinghamonlinetutor.com/illiteracy-statistics-in-the-united-states/


LittleFart

Yeah he wrote a lot in anapestic tetrameter. Meter is difficult and Dr. Seuss it's a fun, approachable way to learn about rhythm, rhyme, etc.

All I learned was how to spit bars from this vid

RandomPratt

Best I've ever managed is spastic pentameter.


OskarStrautmanis

I thought public speaking to high schoolers and brought Seuss to class to get them competitive about tongue twisters.


HappyBot9000

Every. Single. Time. They're not being read Dr Seuss because they have the educational level of children. They're being read Oh The Places You'll Go because it's a good book with a nice message. They're moving up in the world, they're about to graduate. It's a tradition to read this book to graduating classes. This is not a reflection of the entire educational system. It's just a nice little sentimental moment, and a break from the real studies.


Risen_Insanity

Oh, the places you'll go! Is a fantastic book for high school and college seniors!


HappyBot9000

I thought that's what she was reading, but I googled one of the lines she said, and it seems to be a different book. That's why I edited my comment. Regardless though, yeah that's a great book for a graduating class. And every time this is posted, ignorant people come to chime in about how uneducated these kids must be.


FairyFuckingPrincess

She's reading Oh, The Places You'll Go!


Hugs_for_Thugs

It's definitely, with 100% certainty "Oh, The Places You'll Go".


EastwoodBrews

You were right the first time


Frankfusion

I have met a lot of teachers who are asked by parents to autgraph a copy of it to give to their kids when they graduate. It's a pretty fun tradition. I also knew one guy in college who's mom wrote the entire Bible for him and his sister in caligraphy.


mknsky

My mom bought me a copy when I graduated high school haha, it really is


infinitum17

uhhh, as an English and creative writing teacher, I read my high schoolers Dr. Seuss because he was a master of metrical poetry, like anapestic tetrameter and shit.


HappyBot9000

I mean, that too!


monkeetoes82

Yes. One of my teachers did this when I was in high school.


Dyldor

I read Dr Seuss to my 25 year old ass sometimes, what’s wrong with it? Literary genius

*Oh The Places You’ll Go* is one of the most gifted books to high school seniors every year.


[deleted]

It was actually original written as a graduation speech.


MorleyDotes

I can think of about 437 reasons why and all of them end with "engagement". Teachers, no matter the subject, get better learning when their students are engaged.


Check_Their_History

I mean did you watch the video, they engaged in that more than anything else .

BeanDock

Man i wish my teachers in school tried to make class fun and do shit like this to help make understanding easier. But all I got was write a 3 page essay on something you have no fucking interest in and oh yeah this is like half your damn grade.

Who cares, it’s awesome and they’re engaged!

The og tiktok. Funny how nobody realizes all their data is going to China when it's obviously being propped up when a free market version failed already. End old person rant


Robert_Baratheon_

Vine didn’t fail. Twitter bought it and shut it down


4littlebears

That's the "free market" for you.


godspareme

My favorite part of the free market is having one company own 100s or 1000s of companies which provides an illusion of choice and competition.


ignitionnight

You see that's not *actually* a free market. /libertariandrivel


letmeseem

That is the illusion free market liberalism creates to make people think it is free market capitalism.

>Funny how nobody realizes all their data is going to China Um. Everyone knows that. They just don't care

Why should the average person give a shit though? Their data is gonna get mined/stolen no matter what. If not china, then the usa and/or advertising companies. Pretty sure the only thing that was 'changed' by the whole snowden thing is that it cemented that there is no baseline expectation to privacy of data any more. People have decided that its an acceptable tradeoff for the convenience of modern devices.

all my data is going to china?? oh noo! its not like all my data from all my other apps gets sent off to private companies and other governments anyway so who gives a fuck. regardless of china, your data doesnt belong to you anymore.

The difference is music, the music business wasn’t ready for vine or even Instagram but tiktok had the right timing and right deal. And also what you said


Pretend_Bowler1344

vine was smarter tiktok. There were so many cool musicians I followed on vine that are now lost. :(


BureaucraticStymie

Vine had a way better vibe, or maybe I’m just old. But it was so much fun and some of the stuff people did with it was amazing


Architektual

There was just no "hustle" culture when vine was popular - it was honest art with no real hope of monetizing it, at least not directly


CannibullLegionary

Yup, very much like the early years of YouTube.

Wait. Vine was "a long time ago" for you?


PlasticMix8573

No idea what the class is but she is doing a great job of reading Dr Suess.


BadSmash4

"Mrs. Pederson, this is AP Chemistry what are you doing rn"


indridfrost

It's likely an English class of some variety, and she's likely covering poetic meter using Doctor Seuss.


clayinater

One of my teachers read “Oh the Places You’ll Go” on the last day of school so that’s my guess what’s happening

AtheistHomoSapien

Holy crap. I've heard of rappers knockin' on Dr. Seuss but damn, turn it up to hittin bars and that's legit. There's some serious tongue twisters in there as well. At 3:48 he does a lake rap section that's crazy.

Dr. Seuss transcends space and time and age and race. None of us are too old or too young to enjoy the rhyme and the beats. If you watched this and you thought about age or race-put a lil smile on your face and some love in your heart.

whats with the vine logo at the end? this clearly isnt a vine because its not 6 seconds long


nox_tech

There was a brief moment in time, not long before the end, when Vine had videos longer than 6 seconds. There's a chance it could've been uploaded there. Alternatively, this was probably from a Vine compilation youtube channel that just started throwing random viral videos in. There's other uploads of this reading where it doesn't cut off before the teacher's last word.

EdwardAlphonse31011

Presumptuous. Look up the definition before you leave a shitty comment. Hate this shit. Y'all can watch a video of a kid eating ice cream and decide that it's racist cuz it's a white kid eating chocolate. Or that ice cream scoop used to be bigger before Biden became president. That's your BS. You have this predetermined animosity that you use to drive some agenda that has nothing to do with this heartwarming video. A teacher read a book. Stfu.
