Coach Goes Viral Online For Th

Teachers are among the most valuable members of society,

but they are also among the least compensated.

It takes a particular kind of person to spend their lives teaching,

mentoring, and guiding the next generation.

There are many examples of professors who have gone out of their way to assist their students.

For example, Jonathan Oliver, a physical education teacher at

WG Nunn Elementary School in Valdosta, Georgia, was recently honored for a selfless gesture he performed while coaching a basketball game for a group of kindergarteners.

When a student sought help from him, he was more than delighted to provide it.

Oliver, the basketball coach for the kindergarteners on Kristen Paulk’s squad, went into action when Paulk asked for help tying her hair up in a ponytail.

Oliver bent down to little Kristen’s level by kneeling on a basketball and appeared focused as he secured her locks out of her eyes. However, he was being recorded without even realizing it.

One of the elementary school’s teachers, Kandice Anderson, caught the coach’s kind act on camera; she later uploaded the video to YouTube, where it was met with widespread praise.

The video’s title was “When your job goes beyond teaching!” and it quickly went viral.
