Chicago teachers were ecstatic this week when former President Barack Obama surprised them with one-on-one video chats to thank them during National Teacher Appreciation Week.
Obama, who has resided in Chicago for most of his life, decided to pay a virtual visit to teachers in the area who have been teaching online during the lockdown.
Their expressions say it all.
Obama took to Twitter to share a video of his conference calls.
He wrote the following:
“There’s no limit to the devotion I’ve seen in teachers like these @ChiPubSchools educators. Their dedication shapes the best parts of who we become. I couldn’t be more thankful for their work, especially as they shift lessons online to keep students on track during this crisis.”
