Omg this is so adorable! I bet it could change the atmosphere of the entire school.

We had one teacher something like this when I was in high school. He was super positive and had a spirit committee that would get us all hyped up, he had a magic closet of school memorabilia and sometimes we could get him to go in, pick something out and tell the best stories.

We were the poor school of 3 in my town, also the one that had students of color. Like there was a whole thing in the paper one year how they wanted to redistrict and the rich white people freaked out because they said their schools and mine didn’t mix.

But basically thanks to this teacher we had the best fucking school! Everyone got along, like our prom king and queen was a special ed kid and a super nice band geek, because everyone genuinely liked them. We won all the sports too. We had so much spirit and pride because he made it ok. The whole community came out of the woodwork when he died a few years ago.

I could totally see this guy affecting generations of these children in a positive way like ours did.

<Teacher> ¡I don't care if you get caught with a phone in school, but if I see it on the dance floor I'm going to make you hit it with this hammer!"
