Maybe if I had a teacher like this, I'd have paid attention in biology...
We all remember the good teachers - the ones that would go above and beyond and stop at nothing to make sure their students get the education they deserved. And Verónica Duque one of the good ones.
The relationship between a teacher and their students is important. This class obviously felt comfortable enough to prank their teacher - and they got a great reaction:During a recent class on the human anatomy, the 43-year-old decided to wear a full-bodysuit that mapped out the muscles and organs of the human body, all so her students would stay engaged throughout the lesson. Pictures of her class were later shared to Twitter by Verónica's husband, Michael.
Translated from Spanish, Michael's tweet read: "Very proud of this volcano of ideas that I am lucky to have as a woman. Today she explained the human body to his students in a very original way And the kids freaking out. Great Veronica!!!"
Speaking to Bored Panda about her class and newfound viral fame, Verónica said:
"I’ve been teaching for 15 years now. I teach natural and social science, art, as well as English and Spanish."
Verónica revealed how she currently teaches the third grade, and while surfing the internet, she thought of a way to make her biology lesson much more interesting:
"I was surfing the internet when an ad of an AliExpress swimsuit popped up. Knowing how hard it is for kids this young to visualize the disposition of internal organs, I thought it was worth it giving it a try."
Since her husband Michael tweeted some photos of the class, Verónica instantly went viral - and the original post has since amassed over 65,000 likes and 13,000 retweets.
But Verónica isn't going to stop there - as she revealed she has plenty of methods of teacher her classes, and that she's hoping to change the way many people view teachers:
“I decided long ago to use disguises for history lessons. I’m also using cardboard crowns for my students to learn grammatical categories such as nouns, adjectives, and verbs. Different grammar kingdoms, so to say.
"I’d like society to stop considering teachers to be lazy bureaucratic public servants. We’re certainly not."
And many Redditors couldn't help but be impressed with Verónica's dedication to teaching her students, and some even compared her to Slim Goodbody (a fictional character created John Burstein in 1975 and who would also wear a bodysuit like Verónica's).
Well done, Verónica! Your students are lucky to have a teacher like you!
