Being a teacher is a calling as it takes someone truly dedicated to their job to invest their lives into educating children as young as they start kindergarten. This means that days and weeks are spent coming up with ideas on how to encourage little kids to want to learn, including being their “best friend” and relating to them so that they are more open to listening to their teachers.
With that being said, you might have seen videos circulating on social media where teachers give their students a choice on how they want to be greeted.
A teacher from Banpruewai School in Thailand started doing the same, and in a video she shared on her Facebook, she can be seen standing next to a wall where four options for greetings are placed: hug, handshake, fist bump and high-5.
Identified as Nattaya Nat, 25, she greets each student that enters the classroom with the greeting of their choice.
Here’s the video!

I kinda wanna be her student too, if that’s possible.
From the looks of it, she must’ve really won the hearts of her students and it’s so nice to see that she has found a way to make learning fun. Keep it up, Nattaya!
