Here is Brad Cohen who is depicted in the Halllmark movie Front of the Class tonight. Brad Cohen had Tourette Syndrome as a child. In Front of the Class, Cohen’s story tells how that didn’t stop him from becoming a teacher.

In fact, like any great teacher, Brad is even answering your questions. His website has posted a message that he will be answering any of your viewer questions after watching the movie tonight.

Brad’s site reads:

“When Brad was growing up, teachers and other adults — even his father — interpreted Brad’s involuntary sounds and sudden jerking movements as attempts to get attention or simply acting up. He was ridiculed and teased by other kids. As a result, he hated school…until a principal learned his “acting up” was a result of Tourette’s. The principal used an all-school assembly to educate the faculty and students, which helped Brad win their understanding and acceptance.

“That convinced Brad that he should be “the teacher he never had.” Brad had interviews with 24 schools in the Atlanta area that had teacher vacancies, but no one was willing to take a chance on him, despite an impressive college record and glowing recommendations. But he would not give up. On his 25th interview, he was offered a job as a 2nd grade teacher.”
