Jonathan Oliver, a Valdosta, Georgia, physical education teacher, gained widespread admiration for his touching gesture. During a basketball game, he knelt down and tied kindergartener Kristen Paulk’s hair into a ponytail.
The video, titled “When your job goes beyond teaching!”, resonated with viewers. Oliver’s actions, which he considers a way to make students feel loved and at home, exemplify the dedication of educators.
Kristen’s mother, Miyah Cleckley, expressed gratitude, highlighting Oliver’s consistent care. “He does their hair a lot… he has to pick up the weight of doing their hair,” she explained.
