[Anonymous]

A suburban Chicago student-teacher’s passion for music and his classroom has garnered internet acclaim and offers of school supplies after a rap video he made was posted to social media.
Dwayne Reed, 25, a first-year student teacher at Jane Stenson Elementary School in Skokie, posted a rap video titled “Welcome to The Fourth Grade” on YouTube over the weekend. He said he chose a more creative and engaging way to introduce himself than a boring old newsletter so many students have grown accustomed to.

How freaking awesome -- wouldn't you be so excited for your kid to have him as a teacher?

I hope he is having a great year with his students and I hope he goes on to change the face of education. Having teachers like this in the classroom is awesome, but I love seeing them get even larger influence and really modernize the whole education system.

My kindergartener just watched this with me and says she wants him to be her teacher.

LOVE this! I hope he has a youtube channel with more wrapping teaching subjects. He is so cool!!! I wish my kids could have him as a teacher! This is what we need-more thinking outside the box and trying to relate to the kids.
