    He’s absolutely profound, and funny to boot! My second favorite poem is “The The Impoetance of Proofreading.” You can find it on Youtube.

    Don’t miss this event for anything!

  4. I watched the youtube video and at first I thought that he was making fun of teachers! Then I reaized that he wasn’t and I found it to be really funny, but also an inspiration for future teachers because we will be doing all of those wonderful things!
