I was shown this video during college, and it made me sit and really think about teaching for once. I love this video, which is also slam poetry. It's a great video from a teacher's perspective, and it so emotional that it makes me want to cry every time I watch it. Take a minute and watch, you'll be surprised.  

This is for all of you who think poetry is slow, read from pages, boring, and uninteresting. This is slam poetry, a form of poetry that is about rhythm, emotion, performing, and heart. This is a great poem, a great poet, and an awesome performance. Take a minute, listen to this poem and think about what it says, you'll be surprised.
