Educator explains why she did her students' hair

Speaking to Briefly News, Amanda shared that the children worried they were not looking their best for their photos and approached her to style their hair.

She adds:

"I obviously could not refuse, and I found myself with a long queue of 'clients.' I was happy I could be of service."

Amanda adds that the children were happy and grateful, and she received no complaints.

When asked if there were similar gestures she did for her students, the young lady explained:

"I'm a teacher, so going the extra mile is inherent. Like doing their hair, I always try to find engaging ways to interact with them. This makes it easy for them to open up to me, which is always a challenge. Establishing great relationships with kids is key to educational development."
