A dad have revealed how he pulled his kids out of mainstream school because one of their teachers was overweight. The father added that this made them 'uninspiring.'
Kris Krohn - who is described as a best-selling author, speaker, real estate guru, and influencer - shared his controversial views on TikTok where he boasts 1.2 million followers, The Mirror reports.
The American dad said: "The day I pulled my kids out of school was when I was in a parent-teacher conference and the teacher was 200 pounds overweight.

"I looked at her and I said, 'no, you're low energy, you're depressed. You're spending more time with my kid during the day probably than I am. And I'm concerned with the amount of influence that you're exerting’.
"Because what you're teaching is not what's in the book, it's how you're living your life. You are not an inspiring human being. Most teachers actually are uninspired and don't like what they do. And then there's a really cool system that will keep them job protection forever. You can't get fired, so they can hate it.
"They have one of the most important jobs under the worst paid. The whole system is wrong. If you were to put your kid in public school, what do you think the teacher should be? My teachers get a ten thousand dollar raise every year. There's 70, 80 thousand dollars a year.
"And I get to pick the teacher. I'm picking the coolest, most experienced, fittest. Teach me meaning, teach me fulfilment, and teach me happiness. A great teacher has world experience in their 40s and 50s and still can relate really well to a child. If I had a choice between a 30-year-old and a 50-year-old, I'd take the older one."
Some people agreed with the dad, with one person writing in the comments: "The best and most honest video I’ve seen!" However, another said: "I’m overweight and a great teacher! I may not be cool and fit but I’m really good at what I do. You make some great points but lost me on weight shame."
"The worst part of this is you led with body shaming," another said. "All of your points about the value of teachers and money make some sense, you just started with bias."
Someone else wrote: "Just another alpha male talking about something he knows nothing about. The reason teachers hate their job is because idiot adults have kids."
Another commenter said: "I’m glad you pulled your kids out. They would probably fat shame people like you do and we definitely don’t need any more negativity in this world!"
