It’s touching that her 6th grade teacher had this much impact on her
Ms Abbott changing Quinta's life to the point where there's a hit TV show about teaching is literally going to change the world. ❤️
To have a WHOLE show named after YOU, means you definitely had an impact. And that impact keeps spreading. Well done and thank you for your service.
God bless teachers like Ms. Abbott. ❤
The fact she has a whole scrapbook of her students 😭 and she still has Quinta is crazy. I wish our teachers would be treated better than they were.
Ms Abbot is the best teacher I’ve ever had!! So gentle but firm, supportive, intelligent, kind.. I could go all day!! Always pushing her students to their highest potential!! She is truly an angel here on earth.. a GODSEND for sure. I feel blessed to have been able to be a part of her life. 🖤🖤🖤
She still has pictures of her students from all of those years ago 💞
When she called them “my children” you know its real
"It's overwhelming, but it's an honor." W O W that got me in the feels!!
Teachers like this are the backbone in so many children's development and aren't compensated nearly enough for the incredibly vital work they do. Hats off to Ms. Abbott and all the teachers like her!
The city has money to build sports stadiums, but no money for education. Really?! Teachers like
Teachers go through a LOT! We are mommies and daddies, doctors and nurses, friends to a degree, hairdressers, food suppliers, support givers, shoulders to cry on, actors and actresses, and the list goes on. It is absolute torture to hear such terms as "glorified babysitters" or "just a teacher". Here is my take on it, if you think so little of us YOU keep your kids. YOU make sure your kids are up to par academically. YOU deal with your kids behavior everyday, all day and your own lack of support. YOU keep being the perfect YOU who seems to have all the answers.BUT keep your child. And have a blessed day.🙏🏾
she's got Janine's infectious energy, Barbara's wisdom and classiness and Melissa's speech delivery and sense of humor.
I was so lucky to have a teacher like her. Mrs. Bair, we love you. She used to have soap for the kids who didn’t have plumbing at home so they could shower at school. She also always had toilet paper they could take home. She was also the best teacher in the school to cry to. I was going through a lot at the time and her room was always the one I went to when I needed to cry. Many times there would be several of us sitting together at a table who had come to her room to cry and to feel heard.
Imagine being so inspiration that one of your students decides to name a hit television show after you!
She is so correct about inner city. I interned a summer in high school at a grammar school in the Chicago projects and saw 1st hand how teachers go above & beyond as I went alongside to help lighten the load on them.
PLEASE write that book! Thank you for being an example. Thank you for having and keeping a heart. <3
May there be millions more teachers like Mrs. Abbott. Bless her always! 🙏🏾❤🌹👏🏾 She has given many kids hope and a different course of life projection...through her kindness.
Quinta was also inspired by her mom who was a school teacher in Philly for 20 years.
No wonder Quintal remembered you so dearly in honoring you with this fictitious elementary. Well done.
