Update from

Fredrick Mensah, a class one teacher in Ghana, has gone viral on social media after a video surfaced online of his method in welcoming each student into his class each day, Siggy reports.

Mensah, a teacher at the Mankessim M/A "A" School in the Central Region of Ghana, added the tension-easing practice of 'class entering greeter' to his special way of welcoming his pupils to class.

This adorable video shows him and the students bonding in a heartwarming way before entering his class.

Mensah could be seen hugging, dancing, handshaking, waving, fist and leg bumping with his pupils before entering his class for lessons.

Mensah, who started teaching at the Mankessim M/A "A" School in 2016, told Nigerian Campus news platform when contacted via instagram that ''teaching is my passion''.

In his words, "I have a passion for teaching even though I'm not a professional teacher. When my contract came to an end, the teachers in the school had a meeting with me and declared that they want me to stay and they will give me a token every month."

The video captured one morning shows the children in great excitement when their turn comes up to greet him.

"I play with them during break time [I] posted a video with my kids playing ''ampe'' during the break time", he said.

For me, I think it's a good innovation to make them pass this subject better... To whom a child loves, he listens to.
always feeding us with trendy gists. Don't forget that!

Okay

Not bad.

But some of the students will definitely take u for granted....

Whoever plays with children becomes their mate

Just keep it moderate

I know Nigerians will take this negatively...

He better start being subtle about it..fellow colleagues no d like when another teacher the show himself. They can even kill you

Do you know what being an idiot is?


Look into the mirror!

Not bad at all.

Better to have a stimulated and motivated learner.

Only in Ghana

That man should be watched closely.
What he's doing is not right. It's highly unethical.

There are behaviors and manners expected of a teacher. Comportment.

I can see this is going to be a new trend for teachers. There were viral videos last year of American teachers doing exactly the same thing.

Old news

I remembered our most loved teacher back then was our Agric teacher. It was fun when we have him and that helped us learn.. If a child is very comfortable with you, nothing will be difficult for that child to learn.

I remember it. There are different videos of teachers doing this both to welcome and say goodbye to class children.
Those americans are teachers that they pay well oo. I dont know where their nigerian counterparts with their 18k salary will get motivation to do this kain thing.

okay

In a formal setting like the school enviroment you should and must comport yourself! There's nothing like doing what makes you happy.

, I agree, but comportment is relative... I don't think he has broken any rules so far. like you say it's a school environment and not a military camp, his job as a teacher is to impact knowledge, the best way to go about that is gaining the trust of the kids.

that way they can open up to learn more. I've taught myself and I can assure you, he's doing a brilliant job...
