According to YouTube, “A group of teachers gathered to poke a bit of fun at some bad habits exhibited by high school students.” They lip-sang to Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It.” These teachers are from Bloomingdale High School in Valrico, Florida. I think they look like they’d be a blast to work with, and I’m impressed by the creativity they showed. I think I might work something like this into my classes next year and have my students do something similar.
