New West High School teacher does fun dance with students

Nowadays, we are seeing more and more teachers adopt new styles of teaching. 

Over the years, it seems that the generational rigidness that once came with teaching has faded away.

With teachers making more an effort to engage with their students on platforms that interest them, we see a more relaxed and trusting bond being created.

One teacher that we noticed who engages a lot in dance with his students has been hailed as inspirational. 

I attended this school and this is probably the only reason I recognise it, but it was so endearing to see a teacher have a light-hearted moment with his students. 

We had some great times growing up at my high school. Great teachers, wonderful bonds with friends, and huge opportunities to learn (both life lessons and educational ones). 

The difference is that nowadays teachers are more free to use mediums that are available to them with their students. 

And one such medium is TikTok. A platform that started off as one that delved specifically into dance has erupted as one that hosts inspiration, motivation, dance, and more.

Although many people were inspired and loved the vibe this teacher was displaying with his students, there was some hate. 

And it was refreshing to see how he addressed some of the negativity with one of his students. 

We wouldn't quite say it was the most orthodox way of addressing things as a teacher, but we guess that's what sets him apart from the conventional. 

Who knows what sort of difference it would've made having more teachers like him?
