This Teacher's 'Special' Technique To Record Her Little Students Will Make You Smile

A school teacher is being hailed as the “teacher of the year” after her unique way of capturing a video of her students is going viral. In the video, the teacher lays on her side and holds the camera close to her students who are sitting in a line to pose for the camera. The teacher is then dragged across the line of her students by another teacher. The students smile and wave to the camera. The end product shows a delightful zoomed-in video of the students. The video’s movement is so smooth that it looks like it was recorded with the help of an advanced stabilising device.

This clip was recently shared on X by a popular account. It was captioned, “Teacher of the Year”. It has gathered over three lakh views since it was shared on June 3. An X user commented on it, “Very lovely video. Little cute students are so happy with this gesture, something which they will always remember.”

The above-mentioned video was initially shared by Vriksha Montessori International, which is in Salem, Tamil Nadu. It was posted on March 14 and so far it has over 18 lakh likes. In the comments, people showered praises on the teacher and the school staff for going above and beyond to record this sweet video.

An Instagram user wrote, “The effort that teacher took to make the video and put those happy smiles…is priceless.” One person expressed interest in admitting their child to the school based on the video and wrote, “This has made my day. Appreciate teachers’ efforts to get those contagious waves of laughter. I want to put my girl in such a school.”

Some eagle-eyed people also noticed a small gesture by a student, who gently fixed his teacher’s saree as she was recording the video. Highlighting this, an Instagram user wrote, “The boy who corrects the teacher’s saree. Respect to my little man.” Another person wrote, “Respect for this teacher and the little boy correcting the teacher’s saree, lovely smile.”

It is interesting to note that the Montessori schools adopted their curriculum on the child-centred method of education that was developed in the 1990s by Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and educator best known for her work in the field of scientific pedagogy. Many Montessori schools do not have a conventional system of exams, grades, or punishments. This creates a much more relaxed environment between students and the teachers.
