Teachers have an awesome responsibility, but it is one that is often overlooked by many. They are responsible for influencing the minds of the next generation and what they do with the children of today will have an impact on what happens with the adults of the future. Sometimes, that responsibility comes with some rather serious moments but in between those moments, they get to enjoy some of the fun that children have to offer. That is what happened with this teacher.
Her name is Anna Trupiano and she is a first-grade teacher. Now, if you were to pull aside any first-grade teacher and ask them to describe a typical day, they would probably talk about the stress they experience when the children misbehave. This teacher, however, had a moment that not only defined her role as a teacher, but it is also something that is making the rounds online and people everywhere are laughing out loud.
The subject that she was teaching that day was not math or science, it was the art of farting. You see, one of her deaf students broke wind in the middle of class and all of the other children were laughing. She saw this as an opportunity to teach something unique.
The original post made a big splash on Facebook so she followed up with some more information about getting involved with the American Sign Language community.
Funny how a little fart can travel such a long way.
