Philadelphia teacher, student going viral for 'veggie dance' battle

[@pennymoore2143]

That teacher is the best. She is what ever one needs. This is Abbott elementary.

[@user-jz6sk8wj5u]

Go teacher😂. I love this

[@jeanetteh.9240]

Children love it when grown-ups play with them, no matter the activity, no matter the game.

[@sierraortiz967]

😮That was the best because I saw the news and stuff and I sold you preach Christ or Missouriebecca can

[@brl0522]

Absolutely

[@rosameijering5161]

So true

[@melaniestarkey7868]

And they make the best parents!

[@freedomlove1463]

Yes .. Indeed 🌹

[@jtsservice6074]

Let children be children. Factsssss. Teaching does not have to be strictly from a book. Loosen up teachers. You could make a difference in a child's life. Standing ovation and Teacher of the Year Award to her!!!

[@shanadelahaye1213]

I absolutely love teachers like this!

[@deniselong2045]

this is my granddaughters school she has all straight a's this was her first teacher and im happy to see this especially for a school in this area.😁

[@babyboyz100]

That's amazing ❤ Teachers can have such an amazing positive influence on children.

[@yo_darlin151]

Wow. She is lucky to be taught different. 😮😃😁🙂💯🙌🏼

[@SRambo-hx8sl]

This is a teacher who listened to her students. She is the type of teacher that talks to the students and not talk at them.😊 Thank you to teachers all over the Country. 😊

[@tinafreeman6937]

Every child deserves teachers & a school like this 💚

[@nubianpwr]

She reminds me of those true "old school" teachers - inspiring - all smiles😊❤

[@christinebritton444]

That lady played her ACE card!!

[@brianfarrawell3312]

What a great teacher a role model for her students 🎉🇦🇺🦘💙

[@ruthgiles8926]

Great to see a real teacher in action! She took the opportunity to teach him that he should never underestimate someone on superficial information. She taught him to like and respect her without shouting or pulling rank, and hopefully, never to mock someone again.

[@MichelleJones-p4e]

Yes! ‘Let kids be kids!’ I am not a schoolteacher, but I have always felt if you can have some fun, the LEARNING part comes easier and sticks with people better. What a great teacher and a great school !

[@DonJohn139]

Those kids love that teacher and she loves them too, you can tell by the kids hollering

[@WenD1908]

The lesson for the kids is to not judge a book by its cover. Kudos to these educators👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@CeeCeeB.]

Exactly. And so gently and kindly done! ❤🎉

[@patriciamcneil1781]

Great example for educators to follow as well! I like how the teacher didn’t take what the student said in a negative way, but was able to allow his comment be an opportunity for her to teach him a lesson in a creative way….and he did learn. 😂❤

[@respecthewoman]

So proud of this entire school, teachers students. Guidance and Blessings. Yes, let them feel connection, fun and love and it will enhance their learning..

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

She reminds me a lot of my second grade teacher. I loved her so much. She even recognized me when I was 17 and working in a restaurant even though we hadn’t seen each other since I was in her class. Incredible teacher. I will never forget her as long as I live. I only wish I could tell her how much she meant to me. I’ve tried to find her online, but no luck.

[@ashtonstout7375]

I absolutely adored my second grade teacher. She had a big impact on my character development.

[@BOAREDBEAUTY]

Wow, I love this school! What a beautiful positive story. Thank you. ❤🎉 I wish my children could have attended a school like this one.

[@ronascott4449]

Rofl, she left NO CRUMBS! Those babies had so much fun 😂 showing off their moves too. It's clear she genuinely loves them!

[@brl0522]

“Let them be kids” was the most profound statement in this whole thing

[@mildredpierce4506]

The students will remember that teacher forever

[@tachanyevans8329]

He got his booty handed to him on a platter. Way to represent the dancers of the world Miss Laurie

[@The.End.Begins24]

The teacher won the dance contest. We need more teachers like her.

[@rachelburgener819]

👏👏👏God Bless this staff and students!!! 🥰✝️🙏🏻❤️😀

[@carolchristiansen635]

This is the cutest child ever. So handsome, so respectful and so full of life.❤ she didn’t leave any crumbs for sure. And she’s wonderful too.

[@kath2432]

I love this teacher! I bet the whole school was surprised!

[@andreawill9017]

Thank you all the loving teachers!

[@andreal9238]

This made my day! She is a fantastic teacher and this young student will always remember that moment. 😍

[@renep4607]

Absolutely 💯 love this! People are kind to one another, and having a blast and loving every second 😊

[@griselapuerta8644]

Love that teacher her attitude and how she showed white hair doesn't make you old. Love the bots expression seeing his teacher dance. That shows not all teachers are boring. 😅

[@makeitmakesense2616]

She is so Principal Ava on a for real and fine as principal Coleman too

[@imcurlyblue]

The fact these kids are not robots, school , work and home is wonderful. These are the tools to make sure kids will succeed, which is let them be kids and have fun. Love this.

[@Theinspirationalrogue]

She definitely was an amazing dancer in her prime and most likely still is.

[@pinlight97]

“Old” doesn’t mean “stodgy”…I’m up there and surprise my students all the time. It is what connects us to them! Kudos to her and him both.

[@BiBlackCar1]

As soon as I started seeing her dance, The first thing that came to my mind was she had to do professional dancing at one point in her life. To find out she did you could tell by her posture.

[@simonevanleeuwaarde9974]

In looove with this teacher....❤❤❤❤❤what I should have been but too scared of violence these days.....my AA IN Education just dusty, but I'm alive....❤❤❤❤❤ God bless teachers

[@skylar1000]

SHE ATE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@LessettFoster479]

This teacher needs a raise we need more teachers like this. This brings back memories my teachers from middle school and high school were chill like this. God bless you ma'am.

[@Nurturing2]

BEAUTIFUL DANCER❣️ Thank you, Ma’am!!! This is a BEAUTIFUL connection. That’s what life is all about!!! ♥️❤️♥️

[@aussiedronephotography7260]

If this lady lived in Australia our government would have sent her to the Olympics.

[@ashtonstout7375]

She would have done a much better job than the 'b girl'.

[@freedomlove1463]

😄

[@Lolildoom]

@@aussiedronephotography7260 yeah they sent raygun why not 🤣

[@thethbchannel3225]

Such an adorable interaction! ❤ I’ve seen this before but every time I see a thumbnail of this video, as I scan KZbin, it makes me smile.

[@thethbchannel3225]

The little boy had such cute dance moves!😊

[@jessicaellina3878]

Wonderful, inspiring group of students and teachers! They have brought such fun and energy to their school ❤ Wishing them all every success 🎉🇬🇧

[@o.revi.]

I love this ❤ Thank you for sharing the happiness and positivity

[@nicolejohnson3354]

I love when young people underestimate older people's skills!

[@vocheseleon]

This is the kind of future that should win despite how hard it gets.

[@susiejones4610]

Oh my goodness, this is amazing and I love it! One of the things that stood out is when the CEO and principal said, let children be children.

[@henrypetty8073]

So wholesome!!

[@judymcguire9363]

she's a breath of fresh air. What a bunch of fortunate children to have her as a teacher!

[@melbrooks1192]

🌞🌞🌞🌞. Never judge a book by its cover. Great life lesson.

[@jaycharlton2085]

A beautiful story, absolutely wonderful!

[@edmariequinones6017]

😂❤👏🏻🙌Teacher remembered her times in the 70s & 80s❤👏🏻

[@Celisar1]

So no one is going to talk about how incredibly disrespect that little boy was? I would have never dared to even say half of it to any adult. This is incredibly disrespectful and impolite.

[@VelmaB1]

🙄 there is always one...

[@VelmaB1]

🙄 there is always one...

[@tealsquare]

You clearly skipped your childhood 😂😂. Show me one kid that doesn't think they are cooler than adults.

[@edithlenora9022]

What he said wasn’t even that bad. Teenagers called me old when I was 25.

[@GrandsonofSoul]

I saw this video on Facebook, and I'm very much alarmed that they are actually dancing to a veggie song because the video on Facebook is edited to them dancing to 'Knuck If You Buck'. It's so on point and on beat that you can't even tell it's an edit LOL But all in all, this is a really wholesome video!

[@MaurenEckersley]

This is why teachers are loved everywhere by everyone! Classy, classy lady❤

[@Lolildoom]

@@MaurenEckersley no they aren’t

[@sashaashby]

adults need fun fridays too, lolol, thanks for the great video

[@chanfitts5151]

So good to see positivity in the Chi

[@Noahidebc]

This is a real change for the news !❤ It’s nice to actually have a smile on your face after watching a news segment

[@notintohandles]

Absolutely beautiful. An example for the entire nation.

[@daveblack6951]

I'd imagine these kids wake up and can't wait to go to school

[@JudyAmey]

That is inspiring!! Yes! More videos like this! These darling children are our future! Let them be joyful! This made my day! ❤️

[@theoriginaleb9616]

I love to see teachers that have fun with their students! And I love to see students that love their teachers! In high school, we had some teachers who would dress up and do funny skits, etc.. Even our quiet, unassuming male geography teacher dressed up as a student one time at our all-girls school - uniform, saddle oxfords, wig, hairy legs and all! (This was the ‘90’s - there was nothing offensive about it.) It was always so much fun, and made us enjoy their classes more knowing they had a sense of humor and could laugh at themselves.

[@orlawalsh926]

Ive watched this so many times, i love it❤

[@sergioamador5196]

I need more happy videos like this today

[@zengal5685]

This put a huge smile on my face. Had been feeling crappy all day.

[@laura1195]

She’s the teacher every child should have ❤ Blessings

[@jacquelinedorseywilson7125]

See this is the wonderful part of having a great teacher.

[@MrX-gt2ei]

She is awesome. One of the coolest second grade teachers out there. Never stop teaching

[@mrrpswife]

Love this so much! Keep children excited to learn!

[@DrReju382]

As an educator…I just love this speechlessly

[@beverlywhitehurst3364]

That's a great teacher. She associates with the children. The more that the children have fun at school the better that they will learn and do their very best. God bless this school and all of the wonderful teachers and employees.

[@mimsicle1]

They are both great.

[@raquelroberts]

I love those teachers and that school so much! ❤😂

[@donyakusa9187]

The joy these kids are exuding in this video is palpable.

[@colorbugoriginals4457]

A teacher who really gets her kids ❤❤❤

[@JuMiMi86]

'Veggie Dance' deserves a Grammy ❤ how special is this school! 👩‍🏫🏫🎒

[@FormigaFit]

So he doesn’t get in trouble for saying look at your ass you're old.

[@RicheetheBee]

He didn’t say that 😂 but even so we’re here to teach not punish. And clearly he LEARNED

[@kellybrus8663]

Shes absolutely fabulous !! 💖💖💖

[@steellio5526]

Brilliant teacher. Now pay her a decent wage.

[@Bettinasisrg]

We learned square dancing, yeah I'm still in therapy.

[@ashtonstout7375]

We learned the electric slide and boot, scoot, and boogie. This was when Hammer pants were in style and I am also still in therapy.

[@elisaa9981]

What a great teacher! ❤

[@Snitzler4710]

Grownups sometimes forget how to play and have a good time. I’m sixty and still a kid at heart. ❤️

[@tinaturner3624]

Precious Lady ❤❤❤

[@miskittt]

This teacher gives me hope. 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

[@irynafox3593]

hope for what? lol

[@WhaleCommunicators]

Awesome Teacher!!! Love this - great lesson and even greater memory.

[@Sammie68]

So nice to see something so wholesome from the news

[@CikisHelyzet]

I remember every single teacher and principal I had, beginning in JK and SK including all the school and teacher changes. Kids don’t have much of a voice, so if you were unkind to them trust that they will always remember you. If you show a child you genuinely care for them, they can’t ever forget you. Those are simply facts.

[@lindalam6104]

Omg! This teacher is totally awesome!! A huge high 5 to her!! No matter how old we are! ❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@jazzibel1515]

Where can we find a link to the full dance?

[@travcat756]

It brings tears to my eyes to think how much better the future can be than the past

[@Tilly850]

Ageism is rampant. This is uplifting and heartwarming. Not only for kids, but for us older folks! Our bodies may age, but our hearts and minds are often just looking for a way to cut loose! YAY!

[@randygreen007]

Music and dance can bridge the gap between any age, race or economic scale! ❤

[@barbrice721]

Kids dont see the kids in adults. We need to show them the joy in childhood and learning. Great job.

[@bembeleza16]

Where boondocks when you need it!!!! This was wonderful😂 👏🏿 this teacher is awesome❤❤❤

[@sinsearjones6081]

She's the type of teacher that makes you wanna come to school. 💙💙

[@malcolmseales4833]

Its actually very imporant for us males to be humbled in a controlled non aggressive manner. Once humbled we in turn can learn humility, checking the ego and allowing for growth/learning etc.

[@rorriMMirror]

This is how we should teach Get those kiddos engaged and excited about learning.

[@sallygrover6263]

Great teacher❤

[@debbiebramwell]

Thats a whole lot of awesomeness. Everyone needs fun Friday!!

[@musicgram08]

I think the little man’s parents or guardians need to be congratulated on raising such a reasonable young man with proper attitude towards learning and cooperation.

[@metrisstarlover4405]

I like what she did, but I think the boy is too young to be disrespectful to the teacher by saying she’s too old and look at that gray hair. He shouldn’t talk to adults like that.
