One of my kids' high school teachers posted this on Facebook, and it's about as touching as stories on youtube can be. I was in tears. As a side note, I could barely understand some of the adults in the video. Some irony there - the boy is hard to understand because of his extreme stammer, and the teachers are hard (for me) to understand because of their extreme accents!

Very moving. Both the staff and the young man are inspirational. Strong accents? By 'eck lass they talk like me!

Its a wonderful story. They were interviewed on the BBC. Yes it bought me to tears too.

Oh, I am crying, what a wonderful programme. thank you for posting that and reminding us how hard life can be for some people

I watched it when it was shown on tv. I'm not someone who cries easily but I had tears running down my face when he made the end of year speech. Such an amazing story and a very brave and inspirational young man.

I also watched this on the night it was transmitted here in the UK. Not a dry eye in the house! Loved watching Educating Yorkshire!
