Watch: Battle Creek Teacher Creates ‘Rap’ About New School Rules

When it comes to implementing new rules in school, it's not uncommon to perhaps hear some grumbling complaints. Especially, when it comes to cell phone use.

However, a local teacher has taken a new approach to explaining the new rules by creating an accompanying music video.

When it comes to creative ways to get students to not only pay attention but want to learn it should be acknowledged that it's not an easy task. Teachers, especially ones going above and beyond like Mr. Gilbert, deserve all of the respect and recognition.

Teachers literally shape the minds of future generations. Students that will grow up to be leaders in the community, doctors, lawyers, and even inventors. Speaking of inventions, did you know that these 5 things were all invented in Michigan?
