Very beautiful! And so simple, but yet it grabbed my feelings in my heart and moved them, to my eyes where some drops of waters appeared. (I am a norwegian teacherstudent)

All teachers everywhere should see this.

Beautifully …
Beautifully produced, inspiring people at their best: in a clear simple light that lets their uniqueness (and unity) shine through. Their candor and their impressive support for one another is admirable–The message is universal to all schools, and holds us all to a higher standard.

That includes videomakers: as Phil Shapiro suggested, those of us who can, should all consider creating media to support our school and community, as effectively as this excellent video.

Teachers , above …
Teachers , above all, are our future! Without their dedication and teaching skills our future would be condemned. Yet, we pay them a mere paltry wage, for them to try to live and raise a family on. Shame on anyone who would vote NO on teachers salary hikes. I am not a teacher!

Brilliant and …
Brilliant and Beautiful. I agree with pshapiro, this is about all schools.

It would be nice to have a broadcastable MPEG-2 file that could be aired on local Educational Channels (and other community cable stations). This video deserves a wider audience and could have an impact in many places. Great job!

What a terrific and inspiring video for teachers, students, parents — anyone who cares about education — good preparation for back to school mind-set!

Absolutely …
Absolutely incredible. Its encouraging to see something so moving, when so many times I’ve complained about the lack of individual effort and support concerning MS school systems.

You make me proud to be in Education, and a member of the Starkville community.

Thumbs up to the Starkville School District for producing something wonderful and encouraging to all of us who are stake holders in this community…I Believe!!

Powerful. Moving. …
Powerful. Moving. Beautiful production value. Authentic.

This video is not only about your school, it’s about all schools. Kudos to all who had a part in making this. You have created something of universal value and you have planted this question in the minds of other schools: Is it possible for our school to create something as well made as this? Can we reach this level of excellence as a school community?
