This Kansas history teacher buries artifacts in students' desks

Hidden in a middle school in Shawnee, Kansas, there’s a treasure chest packed so full of historical relics that one might mistake it for an outpost of the Smithsonian. With more than 50,000 artifacts, Kansas teacher, Keil Hileman, has turned his classroom into a time-machine, where each object carries a distinct and sometimes graphic story. For the students in Hileman’s history class, they’ll never look at the world the same way again.

    #TAGNBCLF You should check out our director, Katherine Girvin, in San Diego, CA. We’re an extracurricular choir and she gives up countless hours of her week with no pay to run the group and get us to the skill level we need to be at. She is a principal in Borrego Springs, CA and drives two hours back and forth each week to have rehearsal with us. Because of her dedication, we have performed on many world stages including Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center in NY, the Vatican, the Sydney Opera House, and have toured over 9 European countries. Ms. Girvin is amazing and she should definitely be in your spotlight!

    I have him as one of my teachers and he is my favorite teacher and probably one of the best out there. I love his class and everything we do in it. Thank you Mr. Hileman for being such a amazing teacher and a great leader. If you disliked this video please comment and/or reply to this on why you did so.

  13. samthehumble on February 7, 2023 at 9:49 am

    I’m in his class right now, and even online, it has been my favorite class be far.

  14. confused sandwich on February 7, 2023 at 9:50 am

    I had him! Dude he was the best teacher ever!

  15. Ethan Thoughts on February 7, 2023 at 9:50 am

    So sad to see this. I really enjoyed his class, but there is no conviction yet. His trial is at 1:30. Hold off until then.

  16. Jacob Hingst on February 7, 2023 at 9:51 am

    He was a good teacher. Im pretty sure now the class is basically recess though.

  17. noob philosopher on February 7, 2023 at 9:52 am

    For the first time I’m grateful for a YouTube ad. Thank you

  18. varz on February 7, 2023 at 9:53 am

  21. Johnny 32 on February 7, 2023 at 9:56 am

  22. Anna Grier on February 7, 2023 at 9:56 am

  23. Hayley Puzo on February 7, 2023 at 9:57 am

  24. Keith M on February 7, 2023 at 9:57 am

    We need to pay good teachers what they are worth. Priceless.

  25. Audrey Lorhan on February 7, 2023 at 9:59 am

    It’s true bc I know that when I go to school everyday mr. Heilmen will be there to tell us another fun story and fun arts facts and videos to show us. I’m so thankful I’ve had him in my life!❤️

  26. Zarah Mallory on February 7, 2023 at 10:00 am

    OMG MR HILEMANN!!! HES AT MY SCHOOL FU-

  27. 𝕜_𝕠𝕕𝕖𝕝𝕝 on February 7, 2023 at 10:00 am

    He is actually one of my teachers

  28. Garrett Sharp on February 7, 2023 at 10:00 am

    Too bad he molested a bunch of kids

  29. Winds of March Journey/Perry tribute band on February 7, 2023 at 10:00 am

    Weird to read this after his arrest for bring a pervert. I don’t see how a kid can legally "consent," tho. It shouldn’t even count. Obviously.

  30. Rose on February 7, 2023 at 10:01 am

    He’s been burying more than that in his students….

  31. Wesley Smith on February 7, 2023 at 10:01 am

    I want to take this class.

  32. Lazola Javu on February 7, 2023 at 10:02 am

    I’m truly inspired. This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in a long time.

  38. OsiChris on February 7, 2023 at 10:11 am

    It’s weird to watch this now knowing what’s happening currently with him

  39. TapaL on February 7, 2023 at 10:14 am

    I go to this school lol

  40. Winds of March Journey/Perry tribute band on February 7, 2023 at 10:15 am

    "For now Kyle’s class is safe…" just odd.

  41. M. H. Mecklin on February 7, 2023 at 10:15 am

    This is definitely how classes should be done for people who learns hands on. And it’s definitely an experience and class worth remembering and won’t be forgotten. Einstein originally taught this way. In his first few classes he wasn’t good at lecturing so he quickly adapted and started taking his class on walks in the city where he explain his theories and physics. He used this to get past his autism until he could give lectures in a room. If you can’t bring the class on a field trip, bring the field trip to the class. Of course no a days we have videos and smart boards so it may just be a matter of finding a good source, generally speaking.

  42. RobertPollard on February 7, 2023 at 10:15 am

    Thank you for highliting excellent educator. Wow.

  43. Ninjacop Ex on February 7, 2023 at 10:18 am

  45. Ali Gina on February 7, 2023 at 10:23 am
