mr. “setting the record straight,” -
because you are so nogah badavar, you are blinded – the poster himself wrote, ” I think that the school should be notified…and an investigation should be made immediately.”
if you understand English, that means- THE POSTER DID NOT DO THIS BY HIMSELF! I’m not saying that there is not a problem by the teacher posting this. I’m not saying that the teacher did post this at all. I’m not saying anything because I don’t know the exact details. I AM MERELY BRINGING ACROSS A POINT that the poster did not deal with this correctly. If you discover something that needs immediate attention, you do not post it on a sight like Yeshivaworld where 20,000 people are going to read it. He should’ve called vien directly. I’m not saying the teacher shouldn’t be fired, but why did he have to be publicly humiliated? “hamalbin pnei chaveiro barabim…” It is the equivalent of murder. Now everyone is talking about this man who perhaps made an innocent mistake in poor judgement.Foolish, yes. Evil, no. False rumors are circulating…now how do you expect this man to find parnassa? And this is totally being blown out of proportion. What makes you think that this was done on purpose? Daas Torah would surely never permit someone to write something like this on a public forum. They read sefer Chofetz Chaim. You do not.

50- He recommended that the yeshiva be notified, this means he had not done so.

Hey everyone,
I was going to stay quiet, but to here this guy bashed like this, i must intervene. I am a current teacher at this Yeshiva, and I have been for sometime. This teacher has, until this point, done a wonderful job with his class. He is a real “computer guy” and his class and their parents were really loving his innovation and unique approach to parent-teacher communication, which he accomplished through the internet. I do deplore what was done, though I do not believe that he intended for the video to be made public. He is a really nice guy, he is NOT a “retard” and unfortunately now a good man has find a new job. Whether it was his doing or not is irrelevant. It did noone harm, nor is it able to be accessed by the general public anymore. I believe that he may have been a little naive towards the dangers of the internet; it was an innocent mistake if it was his doing. Please give him the benefit of the doubt, he has earned that much for his great work over the last three plus months.

there you go.
another genius…

How do you know that Daas Torah was not consulted?

How do you know that the school was not called?

How do you know that legal action should (& hopefully WILL) be taken against this monster?

Thanks god this English teacher got fired. There can’t possibly be an excuse for this.

Forget YouTube.

I don’t wan’t to see ANYONE with a camera in my kids classrooms EVER.

There are enough sicko’s out there (vehamayvin yavin) to know why someone would take pictures of CHILDREN!!!!!!!!

It’s about time that people start caring about what “really” goes on inside a classroom.

YOU PEOPLE ARE SICK.

Yeshivaworld, ignore these people.

The school should be gebetched for taking appropriate action.

THE REAL ISSUE HERE IS THE FACT that the original poster did not do the correct thing. THIS IS COMPLETE L”H – how dare you post this in a public forum without consulting daas torah or investigating by calling up the school? you have caused an uproar, probably thousands of people will now be talking about this rebbe, he might get fired, someone might sue the school… Averah gorreres aveira! you should not have been on youtube anyway. consult a shmiras haloshen book and you will see that you are 100% wrong. I am not saying this video was correct, I certainly do not think it was, I am just saying I think it is a tremendous averah to jump to conclusions and spread this to thousands of people before you have researched it thoroughly. the real dangers of the internet are things like this- with one pressof the button someone can send l”h to ten thousand people and destroy someone’s life. MR. POSTER TO YESHIVA WORLD- you have a lot of teshuva to do

Leave the man alone !! He has apologised and it was obviously a misunderstanding- To all you concerned parents…. You are now doing anything to make mincemeat out of this teacher who has been teaching your kids day in day out for months… Have you ever bothered to ring him and thank him for his efforts or is it only when you get the chance to destroy someone that you all jump at him like animals let out of a cage ! !What ever happened to giving someone the benefit of the doubt? It seems to be the acceptable thing these days to do your best to destroy another yids good reputation …Usually during chazoras hashatz !!! Go get a life.

Wow, I thought I’d have more support. Seeing how vild people behave in their cars I’m not surprised to see them support this behavior from children in a classroom. Like I said, I am scared for the future of klal yisroel- Chilul Hashem exists between yiddin as well.
To all those who believe children are supposed act this way, I welcome you to sit in any christian private school and observe. Its time to act our role.

This whole thing is so pathetic….BIG DEAL…WHO CARES for all you peopl that need something to talk about

BIG DEAL???? Yes this is a big deal.

I am a parent of one of the children in the video. To say that I am outraged would be an understatement. Myself and my wife are livid over this.

Who ever says “its no big deal” obviously does not have their kids on the video.

I have spoken to a lawyer, and what this man did is totally against the law.

He need the consent of parents and the school before doing this.

Boruch Hashem the Yeshiva has taken proper action.

I just happen to be an attorney, and let me just tell all you people out there that what this retard did is 100% against the law.

I have also called the school and offered my assistance to them free of charge.

Things like this should never take place.
