"UPDATE: When reached via email on Thursday, Duncanville Independent School District spokeswoman Tammy Kuykendall said the student and Duncanville High School's principal met Thursday morning, and \"no further action will be taken regarding the student.\"\"He makes a number of valid statements about how classrooms across America need to change and we view this as an opportunity to have more conversations about transforming our schools to better meet the needs of our students,\" Kuykendall told Mashable. \"As a district with a motto of Engaging Hearts and Minds we focus on building positive relationships with students and designing engaging work that is meaningful.  We want our students and teachers to be engaged in learning every day, and want classrooms to be reflective of that.\" On Wednesday, the school district told CBS, \"We want our students and teachers to be engaged, but the method by which the student expressed his concern could have been handled in a more appropriate way.\"\n\nWhat began as an outburst in class is now making the rounds online. Video of a student reprimanding his teacher for her allegedly poor teaching methods has gone viral. \nSeveral versions of the cell-phone video, which each have garnered hundreds of comments and thousands of likes since being uploaded to YouTube Wednesday, identify the school as Duncanville High School in Duncanville, Texas.\nIn an impassioned speech, the student criticizes his teacher for \"handing them a frickin' packet\" instead of providing \"face-to-face\" lessons.\n\"I'm telling you what you need to do. You want kids to come into your class, you want them to get excited for this? You gotta come in here, you gotta make them excited. You want a kid to change and start doing better? You gotta touch his frickin' heart. Can't expect a kid to change if all you do is just tell him,\" he says, as the teacher repeatedly tells him to leave the class.\n\"You've got to take this job serious. This is the future of this nation. And when you come in here like you did last time and make a statement about, 'Oh this is my paycheck,' indeed it is. But this is my country's future, and my education.\"\nMany online commenters support the student's views, with some condemning the teacher for her \"immature\" response.\nDuncanville High School did not immediately respond to a request for comment. \nWhat do you think of the student's message?
