Julius Sumner Miller Saw A Teacher Give Up On A Struggling Boy In Melbourne 1964 — He Took Over

Julius Sumner Miller Saw A Teacher Give Up On A Student In Melbourne 1964 — He Took The Lesson March 1964, Fitzroy Central Boys' High School, Melbourne. A tired teacher tells the whole class that fourteen-year-old Colin Deare simply isn't built for science. Julius Sumner Miller is standing in the corridor outside, waiting for an assembly he's booked to give that afternoon. He hears every word through the propped-open door. What happens in the next five minutes changes the rest of one boy's life — and it has nothing to do with charity, and everything to do with a raw egg, a metal ring, and a question nobody had bothered to ask him before. This is a true-to-character story inspired by the real teaching philosophy and spirit of Julius Sumner Miller, the physicist who taught a generation to ask "Why is it so?" — brought to life here as a dramatized tribute to the kind of teacher the comments under his videos keep begging for.
