Local journalists tracked down the teacher for a brief interview after the video gained traction. She admitted she was surprised by the attention. “I was just doing what I love,” she explained. “I didn’t know I was being recorded, but I’m glad that
moment helped highlight the work teachers do.” Her humility only amplified the public’s admiration. Far from seeking fame, she seemed genuinely focused on her students and the craft of teaching itself. “I’ll keep teaching with the same heart as always,” she promised.
