Being bullied during the Kindergarten haunts a person for the entire life. But when you have teachers who provide you with unconditional support, things start working in your favour.
In one such incident, a Kindergarten teacher Shannon Grimm discovered that one of her students, Prisilla Perez’ did not want to attend the school anymore. So, she decided to find out the reason why Prisilla was giving up on school.
The teacher had noticed her student’s behaviour change and found out that she was sad for being bullied by other kids for having short hair.
Shannon then decided to take a stand for Prisilla in solidarity. She chopped off her long hair to match the short hair with the bullied student. When the students returned from their winter break, they were shocked to see their teacher’s short hair. She also bought some matching hairbands for her student.
The Willis Independent School District lectured their students about bullying later on. They also took to their Facebook page to share the heart-warming gesture of Shannon Grimm. The teacher is being hailed by the netizens for her support and understanding.
