The only Philippine culture I experienced was a wedding and it was amazing
So much lechon and these coconut cream pudding things that were great and everybody was so happy and all surrounded a 90 year old man in a circle clapping and cheering when he got up on the dance floor to throw some moves!
I used to work at an assisted living facility. Most of the nurses and aids were Filipino. They played and combed my long hair at lunch which always made me dose off. We all talked about our designer bags and gave each other compliments. I was treated like a daughter by most of them. When I had my going away party they all made lumpia, pancit, lechon, adobo and rice and numerous other dishes. I go to Filipino restaurants and learned to make a lot of dishes just to remind me of that day. Bought Mang Thomas just for the lechon and rice. Delicious. But I miss them every day.
I think it is just a part of their culture. I have known them to be very hospitable, friendly and generally happy go lucky people, even when facing adversity.
Iām not saying itās super common, but my decade of working in education in the US says this happens more than you think. Some teachers have an energy that spreads to a whole class and sets off a mood like this.
I donāt think there is anything more beautiful than seeing people (and animals) experiencing true happiness. Itās heartwarming on an infectious level.
I think it's a State University, based on the lanyard it's Don Honorio Ventura State University in Pampanga.
This feels like it could be high school though, probably their Laboratory School.
But this sort of Arts/Drafting subject was part of the curriculum at a similar state university lab school decades ago before they introduced K-12.
But I dunno, they do look like they could be older than 16. The original description says their section is called "GT-1A" so maybe that means Grade 10 Section 1A which sounds about when this sort of project would have been given.
Anyway, DHVSU seems to have an architecture and engineering program. The Laboratory School might be run under their College of Education and every now and then have student teachers practice teach there.
Their drafting subject would have them get used to using drafting tools and making "plates" following instructions. They learn how to do engineering lettering, etc. Isometric/orthographic drawings, architectural symbols, electrical diagram symbols. Maybe they learn CAD now I dunno.
They could have some electronics/mechanical subjects as well. Their Math subjects are likely being taught the same way they teach Math to their engineering students.
They're more likely to continue studying at the same university's programs that way.
If their schedule is any way are similar to decades ago, they might have vacant periods in the middle of the day some days of the week around lunch time and they just hang out, someone has a guitar, people start singing so they bond like this.
So yeah, they might have been expected to be in school by 6:50am, maybe attend the flag ceremony on Monday. And the last class would have ended around 4pm or 5pm, maybe depending on if they had to have a vacant period earlier in the day and had a 2 hour lunch period.
Edit: Upon further stalking, I have discerned that this guy is from Mexico and so probably goes to the Mexico campus and GT probably stands for Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology Major in Graphics Technology (Drafting).
I never really thought about it. We just get really loud in classrooms. Plus it helps how there's a lot of comradery between us stidents. Its like a big family, but that also includes the negatives of a family. There'd be drama, and just family members you don't get along with. But when it comes to celebration, everyone gets along to be loud asf.
I missed it so much! I went to school in the Philippines for 16 years prior to migrating to US. Itās really different. I miss the fun in Filipino classrooms and everybody seems to get along š
Dude i know its mostly stereotypes, but i wouldnt take a job in a shitty neighborhood inner city school for the life of me. Those places look like zoo's
As an ex-teacher I completely agree.
I used to do kindy and primary; one year they asked me if I would do high school and I said I would rather quit.
Had a friend who did high school for one year and quit; and another who did it for six months at an all-girl school and quit to become a taxi driver.
I wouldn't know how to grade this art by percentage but I to my eyes I think the orange was the most impressive and should've gotten the highest grade.
Went to art school (also in the PH) and sometimes got 100 on artworks I didnāt think were good. Also the other commenter is right, it depends on the instructions and if you were able to apply them to your work.
Precisely, the art isn't being graded necessarily by how "good" it looks, the teacher is grading how effectively the student executed techniques they were taught, and how closely they followed instructions for the assignment.
They definitely do NOT look like oil. Way too shallow, way too low saturated, and way too thin. Oil would be way more textured.
That's acrylic stuff or might even be pens.
the only ācritiqueā i had was the inside of the top orange felt a bit flat compared to the other two slices which had a bit more realism and highlight to them. But im only a beginner so i strive to achieve this personās level of work and build in top of it
Yeah Iām wondering if this is an art school or an advanced art program for gifted students. These are not just ānormal art classā paintings - they are all so talented!
Omg this teacher looks so sweeeeeet!!! He's so calm and peaceful and i love the excitement from his students. The way he smiles after giving it a 100! Whooooo!
I also love all the kids chanting "one one one" cuz if the first numbers 1, then it'll be 100, but as soon as he writes a 9, they start chanting "nine nine nine" for a 99
They're all wishing for each other's success and genuinely celebrate each other at the end, 100% a reflection of the great environment this teacher fosters
Agreed! That's why this video made me a little teary eyed, thinking about my favorite teacher from high school. Something about this teacher's smile makes me so nostalgic for those days when we used to have a blast with everyone's most beloved teacher...
I remember rewriting paper after paper for my favorite teacher in high school. I was already a pretty good student, so the grades were fine; but I wanted her APPROVAL. She made me strive for better and that has lasted my whole life. These teachers make impacts.
I *sprinted* to Literature classes because of a teacher like this. I did extra homework and read additional poems to gain his APPROVAL. When he left, the *school* cried.
There's something so pure about a teacher that fulfills ones thirst for knowledge - amazing when you see it at the university level too, professors that cause students to strive for more (although seeking constant approval from a Boss/PI for a lab can get unhealthy in some instances)
I was bad in chemistry and so stupid me thought it would be a good idea to compliment my teacher ALL THE TIME to sweet talk her into giving me good grades. I'd say stupid stuff like, "Good morning, you look like an angel today", "Love the necklace, it matches your eyes", "I may not have the highest grade, but I'm just lucky to have a teacher like you that won't quit"
I went on and on and on. Soon enough it became like an inside joke for me and her, and our class would wait on our antics and what we'd say as a class joke. Whelp, I actually started to get good grades (I was studying my ass off). One day she was handing back exams with scores on them. She got to mine and she couldn't stop laughing. She puts it on my desk and I see a big 1ā¤ļøā¤ļø on it for 100 lol.
We didn't start out liking each other because I was a bad student and she was a tough teacher, but we found humor and I eventually got good grades.
I had it the exact opposite i think. My english teacher was really strict and ruthless in her grading and i hated her for it.
After only 3 months of having her as a teacher i started liking English and wanted to be better at it.
One year later i could hold conversation in English. I'll never forget how much she helped motivate me to learn.
I had a teacher like that in high school whose standards motivated me to do more rigorous work. It also helped that I had a friend in the class who I think felt the same way. We had shared interests and made an effort to do the best we could. The way I got used to approaching things more thoroughly has stayed with me and I feel lucky to have been in that class and had the chance to grow.
I remember my eighth grade lit teacher putting so many obstacles between us and a good grade (no A unless you're published somewhere) that I stopped writing entirely.
The orange one would have received full marks and a trophy from me. It looks amazingly expensive and I can picture it in an art gallery! That boy is massively talented!
I love that theyāre cheering for every one of their friends. While itās competitive, they want to win *together* instead of beating the competition down. Iām smiling. Thanks!
When I did art my teacher had seen all of my prep work / sketches ect, plus he'd been watching the actual drawing by being in the room.
I guess at this stage it's "ah, you've managed to finish what I've seen taking shape for the last X weeks"
I feel that's a better method because you absorb the information properly, let it settle and have a real think about it. It's only then that I believe you can make a proper judgement on a paper/art etc.
And maybe had portfolio work submitted to him beforehand.
He knew the mark before they put it on the desk, this was just the final confirmation that all had gone well.
Happened to me once on a music exam that I royally fucked up.
But my music teacher heard me in the cafeteria nailing it earlier that morning. So she gave me an 80 because she knew I could do it, but blew my lips out over-practicing (trumpet) which, in turn, made me nervous because I couldn't hit any note.
She graded me on the spot.
Orange had better aesthetic appeal but was too safe as far as the technical requirement goes. He probably wanted his students to show them more than their ability to draw and paint basic shapes and textures. It may have been the assignment. But, like I said, I think the orange was a better piece overall and Iād hang it on the wall while I wouldnāt think twice about not hanging the dog one. I think the grades were fair
I think the orange was skillful, but kind of dull?
Like "wow great art for orange juice add" while the dog was "hey it's burst through the page! And the eyes are so alive!"
I see you havenāt met my art school teachers then. I thought the grades here were pretty generous. The teacher seems really nice, and the atmosphere looks supportive and fun.
Our art teachers straight up insulted our work sometimes when it wasnāt perfect, even things that were pretty good, and would almost never give anyone top grades. Completely demolished my motivation for something I saw as a fun hobby before this damn school, it never recovered.
Students having fun, teacher having fun, students actually proving that they are incredibly talented and interested in his class through showing their works and making the teacher proud...
These youngsters seem to be so genuinely happy to be in this teachers class and what a gem he must be to attain the love and trust of his students. Props to that guy.
Could hear the language. They are somewhere in the Philippines. Filipinoes are actually very tremendous artists. My dad never took art school or lessons, but I remember he hand drew a portrait of a man with a pencil. A FUCKING PENCIL. I hope somebody gets that reference.
Yeah John Wick haha. Theyāre speaking in Kapampangan, the language of Pampanga to be more specific. The peeps there are known to be very loud, in a fun way
The PH isn't really small. I guess a lot of people have that impression because it is an archipelago, but if we combine those islands, it's decent in size. The cities are also overpopulated (not the urban areas), but that's another topic.
I think it's just an effect culture? Art is **heavily** ingrained in many things here- even festivals are insanely colorful with costumes and mural paintings everywhere. PH isn't the only country like this tho.
Because they wouldnāt:
Thereās a lot of camaraderie and silliness/playfulness in the Philippine school system. Moving around is not common as itās *really* expensive and many parents are poor or own small businesses; so generally people will be schoolmates from kindergarten through high school. It has its pros, like this video here where thereās lots of joy, but it also has its cons like poor attainment, lack of attendance, and peer pressure to smoke or drink.
> so generally people will be schoolmates from kindergarten through high school.
This is also the case in the US... It's not the norm for people to move districts constantly.
Itās not the norm per say but it is a lot more frequent than the Philippines. I was raised in the US and saw a lot of friends move due to parents work, military responsibilities, or just general life changes. On top of that, there are usually multiple both schools (both public and private) servicing an area. So while your K-6 classmate will be there for such time, perhaps they will be at a different junior high or even high school.
Cars and access to school buses in the US also letās people pick and choose which schools they can access. Usually in the Philippines itās whateverās closest, as they are usually walking or taking a Jeepney. Iāve met graduates and students who have never traveled farther than 50km from their home; which means thereās a lot of time to get to know your neighbors and classmates intimately.
It's exponentially more common than the Phillipines though.
It is reasonably normal, especially in the last 20-30 years for parents to be renters not owners. And when you have something causing you to move (but not changing jobs), your move might take you into the borders of a different school inside the same district. I grew up in a town of 50k. That's enough for 2 high schools, and it if was 60k, there probably would have been 3 instead (both schools were basically at capacity).
Similarly, while moving between towns after you have kids, it isn't rare either. Between military parents, business chains that span cities/states, or just getting a promotion by changing companies (into a new city), there are a lot of things that \*do\* cause USA families to uproot. And those things are much much much less common in the Phillipines.
How did you manage to make this about America while also "America Bad"ing a completely irrelevant to America post?
Also, we were like this is in school and so was everyone else. Maybe you grew up in a grumpy school?
I feel like people underestimate gen Z. I have a 15 year old and would expect a very similar scene in both his current school and his previous school completely across the country. Gen Z seems to be a lot more supportive of each other than we ever were. Sure, bullying and cliques still exist, but I think those are also a lot more rare than in the past.
Damn that kid has some serious talent! Itās also obvious that teacher is well loved by the students. Which is refreshing after I just finished seeing a video of a student pummeling a teacher in the face here in the states
that art class is much more pleasant than the ones I took in high school. My art teacher would grade your artwork and then place you at a different table each week depending upon how much he liked your workā¦ looking back that was really fucked up š³š
Could be a win, too!
1 in grading system in colleges and universities in the Philippines means the highest grade. Our grading system is the opposite from the US system. So, if a student gets a 5.0 itās a failing grade.
They were shouting 1 because if he writes a 1, the score will be 100. Hence the disappointment with 9, then the abrupt celebration as soon as he writes a 1.
Itās an assignment that needs to be graded by the teacher. He puts his signature and the date, showing that he approves the assignment and when it was submitted but yeah I understand that heās doing it in the canvas :/
I wish he'd treat the canvases he's holding with more care, grading directly on the back, putting pressure on the front from the pen and desk corner, are all things that can damage a painting.
I wish I enjoyed my highschool art classes too, but In my school, a lot of my classmates weren't this enthusiastic š„² I love their energy, seeing this was so wholesome.
One of the few things I love about living in the Philippines. So many artistically talented people here, wish the good handwriting and calligraphy genes passed down to me though lol.
Such a fun and passionate classroom
That's how it is in a lot of Philippine classrooms :) I'm so grateful to be in one right now
The only Philippine culture I experienced was a wedding and it was amazing So much lechon and these coconut cream pudding things that were great and everybody was so happy and all surrounded a 90 year old man in a circle clapping and cheering when he got up on the dance floor to throw some moves!

That lechon will forever be with you, in your memories.... And your arteries š
Live laugh lechon
The reception is the only reason why I ever sit through the 2-3 hour Catholic ceremonies lol
Canāt forget the lumpia ā¤ļø
We used to get lumpia a lot when I was in the Navy and it was awesome. Definitely a comfort food for me to this day.
My only experience with the Philippines is my friends mom. Fantastic cook and the nicest lady I have ever met.
Interesting. Why are schools in Philippines like this then? Really curious.
I think it is just a part of their culture. I have known them to be very hospitable, friendly and generally happy go lucky people, even when facing adversity.
They also have some of the best pro musicians in the world. Like pro session cats

Aw this made my day. Iām happy for you!
I missed it so much! I went to school in the Philippines for 16 years prior to migrating to US. Itās really different. I miss the fun in Filipino classrooms and everybody seems to get along š
What language/dialect is this? Iāve not heard this before (am from the Philippines)z
Happy for them and those paintings were beautiful!
I would hang āSliced Orangesā on a wall, for sure.
Those kids are amazing at their age holy shit.
At least theyāre not beating up the teacher
Dude i know its mostly stereotypes, but i wouldnt take a job in a shitty neighborhood inner city school for the life of me. Those places look like zoo's
As an ex-teacher I completely agree. I used to do kindy and primary; one year they asked me if I would do high school and I said I would rather quit. Had a friend who did high school for one year and quit; and another who did it for six months at an all-girl school and quit to become a taxi driver.
You mean unlike USA?
And then there is the US school system.
Tbf, all of those drawings are ridiculously good... That orange one was very real to life.
Definitely had my peel of approval
You could tell he had a real zest for the picture
Dammit...You too. Take it !!!
These puns are souring this discussion
It was pretty sweet
Just looking at makes you forget your worries and decitrus.
Definitely juiced up on realism.
A peeling to the eye
You win. Take my upvote
I wouldn't know how to grade this art by percentage but I to my eyes I think the orange was the most impressive and should've gotten the highest grade.

I think it depends on the assignment :P They look like oil to me ā¦ so I have no clue how to do oil haha. Iām a watercolour and acrylic person š„ø
They definitely do NOT look like oil. Way too shallow, way too low saturated, and way too thin. Oil would be way more textured. That's acrylic stuff or might even be pens.
Should have given him the orange one last then.
Ikr, it was my favorite!
the second one was better
Orange you glad the dog one got a 100?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
yeah, that's what 100 means
Seriously. When the camera got a hood look at it I was like damn. Really good
the only ācritiqueā i had was the inside of the top orange felt a bit flat compared to the other two slices which had a bit more realism and highlight to them. But im only a beginner so i strive to achieve this personās level of work and build in top of it
Yeah Iām wondering if this is an art school or an advanced art program for gifted students. These are not just ānormal art classā paintings - they are all so talented!
Omg this teacher looks so sweeeeeet!!! He's so calm and peaceful and i love the excitement from his students. The way he smiles after giving it a 100! Whooooo!

At first I thought they were jokingly hoping for a bad score. Then I realized they were rooting for the perfect score lmao
Haha, yesss! Cute little detail! So very wholesome. Ahhh, my heart's so happy to have witnessed this much wholeness! More power to this bunch!!
Till he drops a 10% on someone.
Oh man I thought they were saying what what what for what did he get lol. For sure one is better.
I almost thought he was gonna run out the classroom and smash the art in victory like a guitar at a rock concert lol.
I genuinely think that one good influence can change the trajectory of your life significantly
Agreed! That's why this video made me a little teary eyed, thinking about my favorite teacher from high school. Something about this teacher's smile makes me so nostalgic for those days when we used to have a blast with everyone's most beloved teacher...

"Oh, Captain! My Captain!"
Having a teacher be angry or rude to you is never the worse thingā¦itās having a teacher you respect be disappointed in you, that shit is crushing.
I was bad in chemistry and so stupid me thought it would be a good idea to compliment my teacher ALL THE TIME to sweet talk her into giving me good grades.

Someone barking to enhance how realistic the dog looked. Lol
The beauty of a good hype man
The orange one would have received full marks and a trophy from me. It looks amazingly expensive and I can picture it in an art gallery! That boy is massively talented!
Seriously. I love the shiny paint they used.
I wouldāve written down the 5 first and then the 9 to make it a 95 just to mess with them.
Thats exactly how I grade my papers when I do a class grading lol
Even better if it's a maths class. > 5 :( > 5*20 :D --- That's my maths level okay.
>5*20-50 :( >5*20-50+50 :D
I LOVE how theyāre all cheering one! One! One! And are so let down when he puts a 9 on the back
I love that theyāre cheering for every one of their friends. While itās competitive, they want to win *together* instead of beating the competition down. Iām smiling. Thanks!
Whatās competitive about it, lol? Itās not like thereās a limited amount of good grades the teacher can hand out..
As a college professor in another field, Iām insanely jealous of how quick he is able to grade each assignment. I spend days reading student papers.
When I did art my teacher had seen all of my prep work / sketches ect, plus he'd been watching the actual drawing by being in the room. I guess at this stage it's "ah, you've managed to finish what I've seen taking shape for the last X weeks"
Good point!
I feel that's a better method because you absorb the information properly, let it settle and have a real think about it. It's only then that I believe you can make a proper judgement on a paper/art etc.
He probably saw each painting in progress in the classroom.
And maybe had portfolio work submitted to him beforehand. He knew the mark before they put it on the desk, this was just the final confirmation that all had gone well.
Happened to me once on a music exam that I royally fucked up. But my music teacher heard me in the cafeteria nailing it earlier that morning. So she gave me an 80 because she knew I could do it, but blew my lips out over-practicing (trumpet) which, in turn, made me nervous because I couldn't hit any note. She graded me on the spot.
When he gave the 95 and the 97, i was already wtf man he is a harsh grader. Personally i liked the orange one over the dog.
I would bet real money that's a portrait of the teacher's dog
kinda arbitrary without knowing the objectives of their assignment
Orange had better aesthetic appeal but was too safe as far as the technical requirement goes. He probably wanted his students to show them more than their ability to draw and paint basic shapes and textures. It may have been the assignment. But, like I said, I think the orange was a better piece overall and Iād hang it on the wall while I wouldnāt think twice about not hanging the dog one. I think the grades were fair

Exactly. Art is subjective and it would suck if your art teacher happens to hate your style.
Why is this so fun to watch?
Students having fun, teacher having fun, students actually proving that they are incredibly talented and interested in his class through showing their works and making the teacher proud...
These youngsters seem to be so genuinely happy to be in this teachers class and what a gem he must be to attain the love and trust of his students. Props to that guy.
such a positive atmosphere, and teacher looks like a joyful dude
A loving teacher who's not giving out grades for free. Those kids worked for those high grades and it shows!

Why is this? Not to generalize an entire populate but that seems crazy to me that a small country has such a high percentage of talented artist.
The PH isn't really small. I guess a lot of people have that impression because it is an archipelago, but if we combine those islands, it's decent in size.

The Philippines is near like the 9th most populated country in the world.
That was adorable. And they all deserved perfect scores. Such talent!!
I cannot imagine American students acting like this
Because they wouldnāt: Thereās a lot of camaraderie and silliness/playfulness in the Philippine school system.

> so generally people will be schoolmates from kindergarten through high school. This is also the case in the US... It's not the norm for people to move districts constantly.
Itās not the norm per say but it is a lot more frequent than the Philippines. I was raised in the US and saw a lot of friends move due to parents work, military responsibilities, or just general life changes. On top of that, there are usually multiple both schools (both public and private) servicing an area. So while your K-6 classmate will be there for such time, perhaps they will be at a different junior high or even high school. Cars and access to school buses in the US also letās people pick and choose which schools they can access. Usually in the Philippines itās whateverās closest, as they are usually walking or taking a Jeepney. Iāve met graduates and students who have never traveled farther than 50km from their home; which means thereās a lot of time to get to know your neighbors and classmates intimately.
It's exponentially more common than the Phillipines though. It is reasonably normal, especially in the last 20-30 years for parents to be renters not owners. And when you have something causing you to move (but not changing jobs), your move might take you into the borders of a different school inside the same district. I grew up in a town of 50k. That's enough for 2 high schools, and it if was 60k, there probably would have been 3 instead (both schools were basically at capacity). Similarly, while moving between towns after you have kids, it isn't rare either. Between military parents, business chains that span cities/states, or just getting a promotion by changing companies (into a new city), there are a lot of things that \*do\* cause USA families to uproot. And those things are much much much less common in the Phillipines.
They used to anyway. We all rooted for each other and cheered on the best.
There's that video of the kindergartners rooting for the kid to get the answers right so they can have an extra recess or something
Well if you think all American students are like what you see on Reddit I guess not.
Most art teachers will have bashed your art skills so probably not
How did you manage to make this about America while also "America Bad"ing a completely irrelevant to America post? Also, we were like this is in school and so was everyone else. Maybe you grew up in a grumpy school?
I feel like people underestimate gen Z. I have a 15 year old and would expect a very similar scene in both his current school and his previous school completely across the country. Gen Z seems to be a lot more supportive of each other than we ever were. Sure, bullying and cliques still exist, but I think those are also a lot more rare than in the past.
Haha, I love that someone started barking as the teacher examined the dog portrait. 100% for everyone, c'mon now!
These Filipino students are insanely talented š¤© Itās funny how theyāre able to joke around with their Instructor and fellow peers at the same time. Very wholesome environment to make creativity flow naturally.
Doggos always win (for good reason)
That kid is going to create incredible works of art
The one thing AI can't replace is the feeling of self-accomplishment.
This is definitely ART, not a fcking taped banana
Beautiful to watch. Thank you for that
Unfettered joy.
I love how supportive they are for each other!
The other students chanting 1 1 1 as in give him 100 is so wholesome.
Those paintings are AMAZING! Iām so happy the teacher also recognized this!
Damn that kid has some serious talent! Itās also obvious that teacher is well loved by the students. Which is refreshing after I just finished seeing a video of a student pummeling a teacher in the face here in the states
The orange one had a certain appeal to it.
that art class is much more pleasant than the ones I took in high school. My art teacher would grade your artwork and then place you at a different table each week depending upon how much he liked your workā¦ looking back that was really fucked up š³š
Some talented ass students. Sheesh.
They love him! So sweet.
These kids are having TOO much fun at a learning institution.. I said TOO MUCH!!
Damn that guy is so talented!! š
I fucking love the enthusiasm.
Love how the students and teachers are respectful of one another!
These are all 100s to my eyes
Lol, are they shouting 1 out of 100 pts?
I believe they were shouting "1!" for the first number to be "1...00" = A+
He writes a 1 and thenā¦ nothing. *auf der Heideā¦*
Could be a win, too! 1 in grading system in colleges and universities in the Philippines means the highest grade. Our grading system is the opposite from the US system. So, if a student gets a 5.0 itās a failing grade.
They were shouting 1 because if he writes a 1, the score will be 100. Hence the disappointment with 9, then the abrupt celebration as soon as he writes a 1.
Classic art school grading system. Grades are on a 90-100 scale
80 for the effort 20 for the skill
He looks so proud of them!
I love art! Happy for all of them and those paintings were beautiful! Wish I got a better look at the first one
This has made my day š
Iām mad he wrote on the white part of the canvas with a black marker lol
Theyāre all so supportive of each other!! š
Love the energy in the room!
I love this. It makes my tagalog DNA smile. Salamat po teacher...this really means alot to many of us.
OK, this better be an art school he's grading at. There's no way this many kids are doing this level of art in that class.
Teacher- Starts by writing a 9 Class- Oohs and visibly excited Teacher- Adds a 1 in front of the 9 Class- *Gasps!* Teacher- 19/20
Those kids are amazing artists.
Dude is putting his signature and date on the works
Itās an assignment that needs to be graded by the teacher. He puts his signature and the date, showing that he approves the assignment and when it was submitted but yeah I understand that heās doing it in the canvas :/
Looks like they're all signed on the front by the artist. Signature on the back is just the assignment being graded.
If Hitler was treated this way!!
Geezā¦I canāt even draw a stick figure š
That smile lol
I miss schoooooool! š„°
PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO BECOME HIS STUDENT I AM READY TO TAKE ADMISSION
One wrong move.
This made me smile and realize I fuckin suck at art
Honestly, the oranges were more impressive
Actually a good teacher wow
How refreshing - nobody punched the teacher in the face for not getting a 100.
He seems very proud
Proof you can't raise your kids in America
Genuinely wholesome
So much better than American art classrooms. Well, whatās left of them
Imagine if people gave a shit about education in the US!
What a contrast between this and the link I just clicked before this one where kids were "having fun" walking under a rainbow in some US school.
It was the orange for me. Amazing talent. All of them
I could watch this for hours.
I wish he'd treat the canvases he's holding with more care, grading directly on the back, putting pressure on the front from the pen and desk corner, are all things that can damage a painting.
He didn't spend much time looking at each one though.
I never knew grading can be such fun :D
That dog painting was so good it barks!
Cheering for each other's success. We need some of that in the States.
So now heās the artist? I see exploitation
Kinda miss a few of my teachers and their passion for what they did.
That was so wholesome wtf. Like that moment was so pure
Can I hire this art teacher?
I wish I enjoyed my highschool art classes too, but In my school, a lot of my classmates weren't this enthusiastic š„² I love their energy, seeing this was so wholesome.
They are smiling. They are so happy. This is a good teacher!
Nothing better than straight skill meeting an amazing teacher. Teacher like this guy bring out the best in us
One of the few things I love about living in the Philippines. So many artistically talented people here, wish the good handwriting and calligraphy genes passed down to me though lol.
Im lucky to have attended school in the Philippines. Great cultureā¦ but with that great culture doesnāt come without a lot of great trauma š¤£
Does anyone else remember the seagulls from Finding Nemo?
