What happened next between Amir, his former high school teacher Kevin, and Kevin's former student Lieutenant Andrew has a Hollywood ending even director Ron Howard can't believe.

I went to the high school where Mr. Haney taught and he also lives in my neighborhood, one of the greatest men I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting, always so nice when I see him around or in public and am not shocked at all he ended up doing something like this. He’s always had a huge impact in our community and always will.

You are so very lucky, I grew up in 80s/90s Scotland where racism was ignored by our teachers, we had an extremely small diverse number of pupils who were Muslim, mixed race from South Africa or Hindu. We also had clear sectarianism in our school between Celtic/Rangers or Catholic and Protestants and also homophobia but again nothing was done about it. I’m so glad that Scotland has become much more progressive and accepting of diversity now.

@evanrice4296 2 года назад

Grateful to say I have had him as my teacher TWICE. By far the most impactful teacher I have ever had

@elizabethhoover4672 Год назад

I love that he explicitly took him aside to tell him that if anybody made him feel uncomfortable that he would immediately take care of it. Love it. Bless this man.

@richardchiren2425 Год назад

Amir feeling uncomfortable halfway around the world and he still took care of it!

@alibear6695 2 года назад

I'm in his public speaking class right now and he is such an incredible supportive teacher. He is everyone's go to when they need advice and we are all so lucky to have teachers like him in our school

I think Ron Howard should make this story into a movie! Let the world hear of the incredible influence a teacher can have on the lives of young people. Our country needs more positivity and examples of people coming together to work through challenges. Teaching is a life changing profession.

@georgialee3432 11 месяцев назад

You may get your wish……I spoke with Kevin today. And that’s all I’ll say about that

@Toshawilson 2 года назад

Everyone is responding with, “we need more teachers like this.” I would encourage you to become invested in the teachers in your life, or your kids life. I am a teacher, and I know MANY amazing teachers DO already exist. There are so many good people in this world already, if only we open our hearts to see them💕

@kerrybreckle4589 2 года назад

Thank you so much for being a teacher! You are helping to shape the world with our future generation and are sadly underpaid and under valued. Teachers change lives and we need to re-examine our values so they can make a livable wage and get the respect they so badly need!

My godmother used to teach at my middle school and she made a huge impact in my life. Thank you for doing what you do…

@jadewolf22 Год назад

What we really need is better support and funding for teachers like this! So many of them are burnt out, overworked, and underfunded working in crowded environments with very little mental health support for their students and themselves. Local and federal governments need to invest more in schools to ensure we have as many teachers like him!

@sjed323 Год назад

You are absolutely right! I had a lot of amazing teachers in school! I definitely have a lot of respect for teachers and what you guys do! My Sister-in-Law is a teacher which has given me a just a peek into what goes into teaching. Thank you so much for what you do and all that you put into educating your students!

@Truther1903 2 года назад

Thank you Kelly for putting people who aren’t celebrities on your show! I wish more talk shows did this!!!!!!

@georgialee3432 11 месяцев назад

I finally ran into Kevin at the swimming club today. Is the first opportunity I had to talk to him and thank him for doing what he did for one of our own. He went more in depth into the story than daytime TV could allow. All of that was just divinely lined up.

@nathanielkent2487 2 года назад

Crazy to think I went to high school with Haney, Andre De Silva, and Mckeown. I still remember those days in Haney's public speaking class when Andrew would be too nervous to present. Jacob Mckeown would be there to save and encourage him. In a way... I think Mckeown inspired Andrew to be the best he could be. A true hero.

@jackfinley199 Год назад

And another thing that’s really cool is I’ve know Andrew DeSilva since we were in Elementary School. I was in 1st Grade when he was in 2nd. He’s a year above me.

@CryNoAngel 2 года назад

I love all the celebrities who appear on TKCS, but it's the stories of these amazing "normal" people that really melt my heart. They're so inspiring! It's honestly the best part of the show, other than having the coolest and most genuine talkshow host ever, Kelly freaking Clarkson! Thank you so much for this wonderful show - for sharing all these stories and for spreading love and positivity!

@h.a3567 2 года назад

Yes I agree, she really listens to people whoever they are and empathises with them. She is so much more genuine than most presenters. Keep up the good work Kelly!!! 🏆🏆🏆😁💟💟👍👍

And directed by Ron Howard

@howardbanks8585 2 года назад

Starring Jacob McKeown!

@Anna-ry4nz 2 года назад

It can’t be emphasised enough just how important teachers, especially GOOD teachers are. They can be the difference between their student having a good or bad outcome in life (no pressure 😳) This is why they deserve to be paid like CEO’s & have endless resources

@marietheresa7866 2 года назад

I read that in Merkel's Germany, teachers are very well paid. Her reasons are mind-blowing. Wish I could send you that WhatsApp post. Greetings from🇮🇳

@bevwood8210 2 года назад

If Ron Howard doesn't get a screen play done with the opening shot being the High School teacher walking into the shop and the store owner asking him what he's done wrong!? That's a movie I'd see!

@jfro3685 2 года назад

I’m not crying… nope… I’m not! Our world needs more people like that.

@itsjustmeflo8684 2 года назад

If Kelly wasn’t so good at being a celebrity 😉 I could see her being a teacher or nurse! More of a teacher though! I just know students would’ve loved her for life.

@jaejudges2442 2 года назад

STOP!!!!!!! omg i love mr. haney. i’m in his english class right now and he’s truly the sweetest guy. i have intense speaking anxiety and i always shook whenever i spoke, but he always listened closely and praised me about it. everything i did, he was proud of and it made me feel good about myself. i cried once even, when he told me how proud he was about me stepping out of my comfort zone to participate in the discussions during our presentations, and it really made me feel good for the rest of my day. this guy truly is one of the best people in my life. he’s entertaining, comforting, and just overall a great guy who continues to inspire and play throw footballs in the halls. i’m definitely gonna take another one of his courses just to have him teach me again

@blueturtle1719 Год назад

Amen. That's great that you had him as a teacher.

@Nakiesrussphynxcattery 2 года назад

What an amazing story. What an amazing teacher and students. I had a Teacher that had a BIG impact on me. She was my gd 6 teacher Mrs J Westmorland. From Bishop Townsend public school in London Ontario Canada. I WISH I could find her. To tell her just how much she helped me. She would prob be in her 70s-80s now. But I was going through a very HARD HARD time at home and unfortunately was removed from my home and put into children's grouphome/school but was able to still goto my reg school. She got me this Teddybear which I named snukums lol I had that bear for YEARS until my house flooded as an adult. Anyway her kindness and compassion during that time was the biggest impact ANYONE has EVER had on me in my life.

@samanthajade3782 Год назад

I think it's also nice when celebrities have to experience something with us normals. Like they meet fans all the time but they don't spend 10 solid minutes with them, even though these guest may not necessarily be fans of the celebs. So it's nice to see them interested in the story and these people's lives.

@Mimi-fe2gm Год назад

Wow, what a story!! What a teacher. Any kid lucky enough to have that amazing human as their teacher or neighbor or friend is really blessed. I wonder just how many kids' lives he changed. Me thinks a lot! Thank God Amir and his family got out. I cried many, many nights sick to my stomach thinking about good men and women like him who put their lives on the line for the U.S. and we left them there. So very happy to hear this story!! Want to hear more of these. Ron Howard, make a movie!! God bless them all. Still pray for all those not lucky enough to have a way out. 🙏💙

@georgialee3432 11 месяцев назад

Our school district is just outstanding. Kevin is great but I gotta say 95% of our teachers are also great. They care about our kids. They are in our community. We live among each other. When kids graduate from Strathaven they end up still living here raising their families here and a lot of them become teachers and work in the schools. It is a community and every sense of the word. I’ve lived here nearly 50 years. Generations of us live here. Not bad for a place just a few minutes It’s outside of Philadelphia.

@gailweatherall1215 Год назад

wonderful - tears are flowing.

@kevinwells4986 2 года назад

Incredible story, thanks Kelly & Team. Do teachers make a difference in our lives? I'd like to think they all do, even some by omission (no time to explain), but most by inspiring kids to think for themselves, and in a lot of cases to love others, and life. I don't know, but I wish I had Kevin as a teacher. Fortunately I did have Mr. G. Donald Dyer - my all time favorite. Anyway, this was so incredibly touching. I wish the best to all of them, and everyone that was fortunate to be part of that show.
