The school are closing soon, and many teachers have completed their yearly tasks and are ready to hand their learners their report cards.

As most still need to go to school daily, one teacher and her colleagues found a way to entertain themselves on the school premises and shared a clip TikTok under her user handle @pamelajordan96.
