A primary school teacher’s quick thinking to preserve learners’ lunch became a viral hit, proving that creative teaching strategies work best for young learners.

The clip, shared on TikTok by @_lk246, was met with laughter and approval from fellow educators who also noted that once the kids finish their food, they run to them and report that they are hungry during excursions.

The video starts with the teacher, TikTok user by @_lk246, standing in the aisle of a bus full of learners, who were excitedly preparing for a school excursion to the zoo. She confronted them after noticing that they had eaten their packed lunches before the bus had even left the school premises. When the primary school learners replied with 'No’ to her question about wanting to stay behind, the teacher launched into her ingenious strategy.

School learners eat their food before the excursion

The teacher explained that the reason they couldn’t eat was simple; she said where they were going, they scan people, and if they found food in their stomach, they wouldn’t let them in. She dramatically emphasised that they were only interested in seeing the lions, advising them not to finish their food because they would be forced to enter the zoo without them.

SA loves the teacher’s creative thinking

The teacher’s TikTok feed was flooded with comments from social media users who were entertained by her imaginative discipline. Many viewers loved how convincing she was, noting that because learners tend to believe everything their teachers tell them, the students were likely to obey the rule. Other teachers agreed with the educator, sharing that their own learners eat all their food before they even reach the destination and then complain of hunger later. They promised to adopt the strategy for their next excursion.
