Attack of the Fanboy
She recently posted a video that has gained significant traction, racking up over 131,000 views and more than 22,000 likes.
The catalyst for her video was seeing a fellow teacher face backlash online simply for wearing vacation clothes.
She pointed out that teachers get policed in a way that virtually no other profession experiences.
It is easy to see her point when you compare the public reaction to teachers versus the way society views other professions like doctors or politicians.
In a follow-up video, the educator addressed those who argue that teachers should be held to higher standards because they are role models for children.
