WATCH: Funny thing teacher does to help kids learn
You can always tell the difference between a teacher who teaches out of passion and one who doesn’t – this video is a perfect example of a teacher who truly loves her job.
Teachers have certainly been in the social media spotlight recently with their creative approaches to content creation.
Some critics may disapprove, but educators are boldly expressing themselves online, using their platforms to inspire, share insights, and showcase their passion for teaching.
From including song and dance in lessons to using humour to connect with their learners, teachers are constantly finding innovative ways to engage their students.
One teacher recently took this to the next level while teaching positional words – quite literally! Instead of simply explaining concepts, she demonstrated them firsthand, moving under the table, over the table, and around the room to bring the lesson to life.

It's not unusual for teachers to go the extra mile to help their students to grasp key concepts, but we don't always expect them to go this far.
While some found her approach amusing, others saw it as a creative and inspiring way to make learning more engaging.
Take a look at some of the comments from the post below.
"I'm a teacher, and kids learn best by seeing this. They will never forget this lesson. Good job madam."
"Where some of us started, you come to Europe, and they say your English is good. Yes, the teacher did the teaching."
"I am 50, and this brought back sweet memories of my primary school days in Limpopo."
"To be a teacher is a calling. Amazing teacher."
"The kids will never forget since the teacher illustrated."
"Great job! Teacher."
"Love this, and I was busy finishing the sentences, too."
