He really is ❤

Michael, our paths are very similar. I'm a retired ART teacher. I worked with At Risk students in a Juvenile Hall in the 1970's. In the 1980's at a Children's Shelter, and then at a Community School for those on Probation and Parole. Gang members, violent offender's and abused Children. In my own education I struggled to learn. School was too slow for me. My mind was all over the place, seldom on task. I always excelled at Art, my saving grace. Many of my Students were way behind in most subjects. Finding creative solutions to problems was their saving grace thru Art.

As an Art teacher I can relate to your POV this is what a caring educator looks like!

I'm an artist problem solving is my greatest strength, I agree with you I have a learning disability same as you, I was told I was no good, I won a national art comp at age 6.

I am touched (way to bury the lede by the way!). You and your message are so inspirational and I am glad I came across you.

Creating something new requires imagination and knowledge, fear & being judged are the biggest blockers of creativity, as a teacher we have a collective responsibility to guide our students to find their authentic self (creativity) and part of that process is teaching them, how to avoid all the external noises around them and embrace their artwork. - Love your passion and truly you are an inspiration

Love him! So compassionate and encouraging of those who often don’t get seen that should be.

I commend your efforts. I am an x art teacher recently learning I am autistic. So I relate. Grades were always my biggest issue as teaching self evaluation and appreciation for growing from one's experiences should be enough. It seems you have found a small way to use the system to grow students. It gives me hope.

Michael Bingham, you are a wonderful person. This video is highly informative and made me so happy that I'm taking the Art Education route. Thank YOU so much for this talk!!

Absolutely magical Michael. Thank you so much 💕M💕

You are now one of my HEROes

Thanks for all the kind words

Very moving, thanks a lot Michael!

Wonderful! Love it. This talk helps show how creative types are pushed out of the American education system.

WOW... What an amazing Man!!! Such an inspiration how he's made a difference through his passion to help others who may be considered less fortunate!

very moving, evocative and inspiring- thanks Michael

We need much more teachers like him!

Hey Michael! Just found you here by accident. This should be required viewing for all BTS teachers.....heck! For ALL teachers! Well said.

He needs to speak to the politicians in Florida.

This guy was my art teacher haha

Who’s here from online school?

In Chines high school, practicing fine art would be treated as freaks. That's why I study art outside this country.

+Maxwell Lin In germany the same... People tell me you can't afford a apartment with creativity but with "hard work" or some s*it I dont want to do! Sometimes I wish people could look into my mind and see what is truly important to me.
