Stephen Round is a very unhappy teacher who has decided to quit teaching at his elementary school. He made this video via youtube not only to explain his resignation, but to also get the point across to many others who are willing to listen.

I agree completely with what Stephen Round was saying. These children were being taught to become good test takers. They had no interest in creating an individual plan for the children, due to the "One-size fits all curriculum", that they have been going by. Not all kids are the same and education boards should know that. We all learn differently, some people learn visually and some people learn hands on. How can a single curriculum cater to all of these different kids? It cant and thats why Round is deciding to stop teaching. Hes finally fed up and can no longer take it.

Round obviously has a strong set of morals if he is willing to give up his comfortable salary from many years of being a teacher, just to get a point across. Good on this man. If the school board had more men or women like him, who are willing to stand up for what they believe in, who knows what could be accomplished in schools. Unfortunately in the world we live in, this is rare. Thats why people like Round are special and great role models for future generations.
