When teaching about 'The David' gets you fired in Florida - My Grade 7/8 Class steps up to educate. #thedavid #Florida #art #teacher

This is the teacher grade 7/8 students will remember the rest of their lives. This teacher lets students speak their minds and she encourages and respects their thinking. Well done.

Your students have just taught me all of those David facts for the first time. I’m 51 and did not know that it was based on David and Goliath. Thank you, students!

Joanna. You ARE a legend!!

I absolutely love this and if no one has told you today our youth are so fortunate to have you out here doing what you do! Thank you so much!

Students of all ages need an education that expands their mind & opens up the world to them, not slamming doors through ignorance & fear that will stunt their growth & crush their curiosity. Not one kid mentioned David is naked because that isn’t what is remarkable. Engagement!!

You assume your students are smart people. The parents and board at that Florida school don’t seem to think that about their kids.

I had the privilege to grow up for part of my younger years in Europe during the 1970s and 1980s, my Dad and Mom took me to the David when I was in primary school. I turned out ok. Art was a big part of growing up.

I saw the David at age 8, i still remember being in line and looking at the entire 5 metres of that scultpture in awe.
