You know, most teachers do love kids. It's not like they entered the profession for the pay. It's the administration, the low pay and the rude, hostile parents that are wearing our teachers down and sending them into other professions.
She ate but what I LUV more is that baby boy gave her her props. He was a good, positive loser! No pouting, no making excuses and no being a brat about it. He took like a man and I’m SOO proud of him for that!! Somebody is raising him right💜
IKR? We see grown a males pout, make excuses, and act like brats all the time, especially when WOMEN are outpacing, outperforming, and soaring past them. Good job.👍. That teacher WORKED IT OUT!😂😂😂
I agree! With lessons like that, those students are going to grow into adulthood with respect for others without judging based on looks. Great job! 👍👍👍👍
OH my gosh I have a forever loved teacher that I contacted 20 years after I graduated. He remembered me, still teaching and I was shocked. He even asked me if I ended up with my HS sweetheart and I had to tell him no but it was for the best. Amazing teachers matter, I hope our country doesn't loose too many of them.
100% right, he will ALWAYS remember that day with a smile. I wish the reporters had posted a link to where their other videos are, I'm sure they're just as entertaining.
No teacher is doing it solely for the money. There's not enough money in it for that to be the motivator. At least not at her level. A professor in post secondary education, maybe.
This is fantastic! What a lovely teacher, and the little boy seemed good natured about it all. I also love that the one woman said that they let the children just be children at times. Much more of that is needed these days.
Well done that teacher. Instead of punishing or lecturing him for being disrespectful she made them both internet sensations and taught a lesson that will be remembered much longer than a scolding.
He still needs to be told not to be disrespectful. I can’t imagine talking like that to a teacher at 8 years old. There’s probably more where that came from…
@@user-hx7mi7ml8u it's not disrespectful to say someone is old or has gray hair. He likely said it with regards to her ability to still dance. I don't understand why some people are so quick to villainize children, especially black children You've ascribed malice to this child and implied there's more "where that came from" Re-examine your thought process
I love this. You couldn't wipe the smile off my face with anything. This is a teacher who still love to teach. Sometimes lifes lessons don't come in a book. Go teacher go. I love this.
Love It!! Love It!! Love It!! To see teachers and children having so much fun together like this just gives me Joy!! That young man is always going to remember this teacher with Fondness a Smile and a few giggles in his later years! What a Memory!!
@khaleesiy.7886. You are so right and I’m so glad you said it. I too, believe that our children have been way too sexualized at too young an age. It was all so wholesome and just a joy to watch.🤗👍👍
People would rather say something like this that is boarderline negative than say how great the little boy danced. He might have never ever thought of dancing any other way.
Danced circles around him with style and sass to spare! I love how the young man, with only a tiny bit of (very natural) embarrassment, owns up to the fact his old, gray-headed teacher beat him like a taiko drum -- _buh-WHAM!_
@@jackiesmith1325 Nobody is lying. @patrinapelton-smith1942 is pointing out how the teacher danced _in a circle_ around him. Not "danced rings around him," which is an expression with a wholly different meaning. So, maybe it's _you_ who's lying, if by "lying" you mean "mistaken."
I’m a retired educator. When I was 13, in ninth grade, the school I went to had a great idea for kids to get friendly, relaxed and enjoy each other’s company. The kids would go to eat lunch, every day, and as soon as you were finished eating we went to the gym where, usually an upper class student, was up on the stage or bleachers, or whatever. Where (in those days records) music was played……..good old rock and roll!!! And everybody danced until time to resume classes. It was great! It was a rural area so we often lived far apart from each other, with this lunchtime “playtime” we got to mix more with each other in a relaxed atmosphere. It helped foster good friendships and it released the stress of the classroom. After about 30 minutes we were happy and were ready to get back to work! It didn’t cost anybody anything and it created great personal interactions. I think that would be a good idea for kids today, rural and city schools. I would love to see that happen. I can hear everyone saying “we can’t waste classroom time like that!” But think about it! School is not and should not be just classroom time. We educators also have a responsibility to teach children how to LIVE! not go around bullying and shooting each other!!!!
Absolutely! And it’s also been proven time and time again that getting fun physical activity into your life improves focus, so it’d be a worthwhile investment in everyone’s time.
You are right. That's where "life skills" come in. Socialization was once part of teaching. It's every bit as important in society. Teachers who love their vocation are the best. 😊💕
She not only had fun with her students, she taught a very valuable lesson about not judging people by their looks. Most people would have probably looked at her and said "Nah she can't dance" but she just does it.
Nah, she didn't "just do it." She did it with miles and miles of sass and style. She not only proved a point about age, she proved one about size as well. She's a superstar teacher, and a danged good dancer.
@@tinamarie8061 Big mistake loool. Older ones are the one who dances looong before them, frequently acting as if they have invented dances or something, dumbass people.
I left the classroom and went into administration. This makes me miss those days. So happy that the teachers and administration has learned to take the time and connect with the students. They learn more when they are engaged and feel safe, heard and seen.
This truly stole my heart! I love educators who are real people allowing kids to still be kids! Thank you Educators for all the love! God Bless You All!
What a wonderful teacher and what a wonderful school. This is the kind of teacher -student relationship that creates an open and trusting learning environment. Thanks for sharing!
Hope lives in those halls and in their hearts! 💕 Thanks for sharing and giving us a reminder to be hopeful and kinder. Our children are watching and learning!

My hats go off to all the educators that go out of their way to find a way to encourage and motivate their students as well as protect their students 🙏🏾
What a wonderful teacher. XO I wish the news would show this kind of happiness, and love shared between adults and kids, instead of all the hate and violence, maybe if they did we'd have a lot less anger among people.
We all need it. In today's society where kids are hooked on screens and having their childhood experiences marred by the mess that going on around them and society at large, this is very joyful to see let alone be in that physical space where all that fun and excitement is taking place where children get to play and laugh and be themselves is priceless.❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤ that was really sweet and I agree if more teachers would be like this Woman apparently even though she has been a teacher for more than 30 years she's clearly not burnt out she still loves working with the children and the children love her. ❤❤❤❤
This video opened the flood gates, it landed very deep. I LOVE the teacher as she left no crumbs behind....kiddo, your teacher torn you up....Brilliant, beautiful, uplifting, encouraging, healthy video....I LOVE YOU BOTH
Love teachers who love kids.
They are easy to love, because they are so loveable! Even the difficult ones. 😅

Being a teacher is more than just following the curriculum. Either you have it or you don't. This lady has it in abundance.
You can tell a teacher that loves her job and her students. It's not just a pay check to her.
❤
I want to add, though, those wonderful teachers do deserve *better* pay checks!

With a head snap😅

honey that was fosse, that was bob fosse
She killed the walk lol I knew it was about to be a long day for the young bull lol
It was over right then😂😁

Yes,,, I'm crying happy tears!! ❤
Exactly! Kids are hearing & seeing too much negative & not enough positive.
I love this. You couldn't wipe the smile off my face with anything. This is a teacher who still love to teach. Sometimes lifes lessons don't come in a book. Go teacher go. I love this.
Teachers do so much more than standardized tests. She taught a life lesson that will be remembered far longer than any paper and pencil test
Teacher like this gives student hope and positivity in their lives
Honestly! This is a perfect example of why our teachers don't get paid fairly and or properly in America...
ALWAYS dance. . .as if nobody is watching!!
Life becomes more joyful, more vibrant, when we dance. 👍👍
As a Philly native I'm glad to see our schools being shown in a positive light.
I agree no Sexy Redd.
It’s hard for young people to believe that older people can dance. Good for her!
The old saying 'Never judge a book by it's cover is TRUE' hence why Schools exist, great job both of you, 😊👍

SHE DID THAT 😂😂😂😂😂
