Take teacher Veronica Duque, for example, who donned a special costume for her anatomy class.
“I’ve been teaching for 15 years. It’s a blend of science, art, English, and Spanish,” she says. Always on the lookout for ways to make her lessons more engaging, she stumbled upon an ad for this costume on AliExpress. Recognizing how challenging it can be for children to visualize the location of internal organs, she thought this might be the perfect solution. Her husband Michael shared a few photos from her lesson on Twitter, which quickly went viral, amassing over 65,000 likes and 14,000 comments.
“I decided long ago to incorporate costumes into history lessons. I also use cardboard boxes for grammar lessons, creating different ‘grammar realms,’ so to speak. I wish society would stop viewing teachers as lazy. We are passionate about our jobs.”
What qualities do you think make an ideal teacher?
