An online user took to social media to share a video of a pupil who dozed off during class time and it has sparked opposing reactions from the Mzansi cyber community.

The video was shared on Twitter recently by @thapelo28137602 and shows the boy fast asleep on his chair during a lesson.

The teacher’s voice can be heard telling the rest of the learners to clap their hands. The sleeping child is frightened by the noise and quickly wakes up in confusion as he looks around the class to find his peers laughing at him.

Mzansi applauds teacher’s unique approach to helping a child struggling with maths homework

Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that when it comes to learning, the importance of great teachers can't be underestimated as they play a role in a child’s foundational learning and social development. An inspiring example of a teacher dedicated to helping her learners through their learning difficulties is Bonnie (@yafavoriteaunty), who recently shared she handled a situation in which one of her learners was struggling with maths.

Taking to Twitter without revealing the child’s identity, Bonnie shared a photo of a homework page where one of her ‘babies’, as she affectionately calls them, didn’t do his work. The young boy made a note on his homework page indicating that he found division hard.

“No kid should be embarrassed because they lack knowledge. So I tell them to write me notes and I write back. No outbursts, no displays. So he gets credit just for turning it in and letting me know he’s struggling,” she said in a tweet.
