VietNamNet Bridge – A rap song by a young teacher has spread among young students who are fans of rap music.

The teacher-rapper
The song was composed and performed by Bui Nhu Lac, a young physics teacher at Nguyen Du High School in HCM City. The special performance clip of the teacher has been posted by a student on Internet, called “Teach or Rapper”.

The instructor wants to use music to make lessons more understandable for students.

The song has proven to be very interesting and attractive to the students, even though it is heavy on content. Lac’s rap advises students to study harder and not be lazy. It asserts that physics is a very interesting subject and that students need to exploit its beauty. It also teaches about electric charges and many other physics terms. The lyrics explain that their teacher wants students to study and get high marks in examinations.

Nearly everything about physics seems to be included in the song. He explained that so many students got below the average marks on physics tests, which made him sad as the lyrics reveal:

“Thay tu trach minh va thao thuc nhieu dem, suy nghi that nhieu va thay nhan ra mot dieu: Dam day dau rong going nhu trai banh, chi biet an dien nhu cai binh bong di dong”

(I had sleepless nights and blamed myself for the bad grades of my students. And I have realized one thing, that students are empty-headed and do not pay attention to their studies. They only know to wear colouful clothes like moving flower pots).

This innovative teacher says he will not give up. He will try to teach students and hopes that they can grow up into useful members of society.

The rap song has immediately become the hottest topic on education forums. It has been sung not only by Nguyen Du school’s students, but by students of many other high schools.

Students love the performance. Some note that, although the teacher is not a good rapper and that they can see a lot of problems in the song, the “lyrics are wonderful.”

Many students wrote on forums that they are impressed by the “teen style” of the teacher and hoped to see more such rap songs.

A former Nguyen Du School student commented that while some words are a bit rude, they say what the teacher wants to express. “The song makes the teacher closer with his students,” he remarked.

Students have not gotten angry at his criticism in the song, because they feel the teacher is so friendly.

However, some more conservative people have not applauded Lac’s rap song. “Nobita” wrote on the forum that teachers should spend time writing lectures instead of composing nonsensical songs.
