"This is so sweet, it is a calling for her. Wow, that is so refreshing to see. Love and happiness at school, not violence. God have mercy, can we see this all the time? This is not a teacher who tells our children that she has long been done with her studies. She wants to see them become better people. We appreciate teachers like her 🙌."
