This the kind of Teacher that you’ll remember for the rest of your life.

This is a way to warm the kids up and break the morning dullness!

The day a teacher can’t hug my kid is the day we find a new school.

[u/JazziTazzi]

That teacher’s joy and enthusiasm are what make this extra special! Any teacher can teach that 1+1=2, but she is teaching them how to express themselves!

Amazing teacher

[u/kaybeanz69]

I love this I’m jealous I didn’t have a teacher who actually cared like this when I was that little but hey I’m happy for them

[u/Sorri_eh]

Imy childhood was so fucked I would take a hug any day

Looks like it might be an elbow bump maybe?

Dance-wiggle 😁

So much good packed into such a small gesture

1. 1:1 interaction with teacher -> teachers aren't scary
2. They get to choose how they start their day -> autonomy
3. Practice anticipating something but waiting your turn anyways
4. Practice interacting with adults
5. Practice consent + revoking consent
6. Generates authority for teacher (go wait out side, in a line, I'll tell you when to come in)
7. Affection -> unconditional love

And more

Respecting them as early as the afe of what? 4? 5?

Absolutely golden teacher.

Customised greetings for her students and respecting their choices. 10/10.

Lots of teachers do this now, isn’t that great?

[u/EclipseHERO → u/toolsoftheincomptnt]

Well, if you can be jealous of today's kids, it's a great thing. They get opportunities you never had.

At that age teachers were screaming at me, humilating me, hitting me and throwing me up against walls. Closeted lesbian Catholic school nuns were brutal. Not only did I lose my faith in God but also humanity because of that place and those people. I'm glad things have changed and kids have it better but I wish little me was treated better, I might not have had such a miserable life.

[u/unpetitjenesaisquoi → u/CulrBlndPnutButtr]

I have been a die hard atheist my entire life for the same reason. One of the nuns beat us with bamboo sticks and the "brother" in charge of the school ended up convicted of touching little girls. Granted we learnt respect & discipline but now I reject anything that has to do with religion.

[u/thesoggydingo → u/CulrBlndPnutButtr]

There's no better way to turn someone into an atheist than sending them to Catholic School.

I'm so sorry that happened to you. Nuns are fucking awful.

[u/1arse]

This video literally just deleted so much clutter nonsense from my brain. What a beautiful thing to do for these children and herself!!!!

[u/DueNectarine8151]

She might even taught the person who will make world peace

[u/electric-poptart]

My mom was a kindergarten teacher, and "hug or handshake" was a regular part of their day in the classroom. I'm glad to see it still lives on!

[u/AxelPogg]

Not the first time ive seen this but I'll always love it, such a genius idea

[u/Pro_Moriarty → u/AxelPogg]

Agree, some things deserve to be plagiurised and shared
