A teacher shared a video showing how she deals with her class of unruly learners.

Teacher silences class

A TikTok video shared by Tashia Dusk Jones (@tashiaduskjones) shows the woman walking in the corridor as she walks to the classroom, where the learners can be heard from a distance making a loud and disruptive noise.

The furious teacher enters the class and didn't utter a word, giving a deadly "mother stare" that spoke volumes about how unimpressed she was as the terrified learners scrambled for their seats.

Tashia indicated that since teachers are advised against shouting at learners as it's intimidating, she had to get her "mother stare" game on.

"I know God placed me here to teach me something. I don’t know what exactly, but I trust God," Tashia said in her caption.
