in atlanta usa i found ron hey nas daily what's up i'm ron clark and i build a school where learning is magical NUMBER_TOKEN years ago ron took up a job as a school teacher in a low wealth area and on his first day his students made him understand that they were not interested my students were bored they didn't want to learn they didn't want to learn out of a textbook and i realized that if my students were bored they weren't going to become lifelong learners so i knew i had to do something i had to find a way to fire it up so one day ron came to class and decided to do something different he put away the old textbooks and started singing NUMBER_TOKEN-NUMBER_TOKEN world war two there was this popular song at the time called the thong song inappropriate and i said i'm going to change the words of this song to geography and it was like geography is so good to us we practice and we learn so much we study that map from front to back get on the ball now don't be slack we like to learn about a lot of places that are cool and hot we study every single spot from spain to south dakota and then we went we'll plot our maps and the students loved it said oh this is so cool and so i made myself look kind of foolish to do it but when you're a teacher or a parent you got to be willing to sacrifice all of your humility and every bit of who you are to do what's best for kids and if you do that they're going to thrive they're going to try their best they're going to learn his class went from boring to a broadway show every day was a different performance and just like that his students went from hating school to loving it teachers have got to be better than video games look these kids they got their iphones they're all playing all kinds of technology these students are doing so many different things so you got to really be on you got to bring it to life and if you don't the kids aren't going to learn and he thought if he could change a class then he could change an entire school so he built his own ron went to atlanta found an empty warehouse and started his school during the first six months of opening our school we were robbed NUMBER_TOKEN times but we knew we couldn't give up we knew we had to keep pushing we knew we had to make the dream come to reality and after four years the ron clark academy was born welcome to
