Ordinary science teacher becomes icon among educators

Eddie Brown is a teacher in Houston who gets a lot of laughs outside the classroom. It turns out his comedy routine spreads an important message about our educators. Steve Hartman has his story "On the Road."

Everything he said at the end I was about to comment before he said it. Teachers definitely don’t get paid enough and don’t especially now have a lot of freedom to teach. It’s basically teaching to a test. I know heaps of teachers who have quit because it’s not fun anymore and they are making way less then they even used to make 10 years ago.

This man is hilarious! I hope to see your show with some of my educator friends! We get you!

OMGosh!! I totally get this!! I’m a first responder, we take every precaution...but sometimes, you have to vent!!
Those outside of your field won’t understand, but it’s what most of us in said field want to say!

You're not crazy man I've been a teacher for 20 years and I couldn't control a classroom if my life depended on it.
I do not have the presents to instill the fear of God and to children.
I actually am a Christian missionary but God had a sense of humor and made me a teacher.
I'm what you call a tent Maker missionary basically I work and do whatever God asked me to do.
It's not that I don't enjoy teaching I do if I could live in Taiwan and tutor as much as I teach now and still pay taxes I would do that.
I'm a resident in Taiwan. I spent 15 years loving the people of Taiwan whether they find Jesus or not but of course I'm always praying they do.
It's not about religion it's about finding freedom. That's why America was once a great country they had the right foundation.
Sadly that foundation is being crushed and destroyed. It's always been the plan to destroy that foundation it's a global plan but nonetheless I do find it sad but usually in the midst of darkness is one God pulls you out of the darkness and into the light

"Teachers would like to be trusted again." So many educators are filling kids' heads with lies; I kinda hope they watch them closely! Gender is a choice, gender pay gap, police brutality...all absurd lies that some teachers get away with spouting. This can easily do irreparable damage to these kids' understanding of the world.

I don't want to hear that teachers don't get paid enough teachers around here where I live make 60-120 thou a year for a part time job and you don't work during the summer you make more than enough money I don't want to hear it
