With her classes now all remote due to the coronavirus pandemic, this 12-year-old sought math help from her teacher over email. She was still struggling with it, so the teacher headed over for a special lesson — still complying with social distancing rules

Since her classes are now all remote due to the coronavirus pandemic, Anderson emailed her teacher for help, rather than ask for it in the classroom.She expected some emails, or maybe even a phone call from her teacher, Mr. Chris Waba. But then the doorbell rang -- and she saw Waba, standing on her porch, holding a whiteboard and marker, ready to teach.Anderson, like most students in the US, has been out of school and learning virtually because of the coronavirus outbreak.

Rylee stood on the other side of the screen door, nodding her head as she followed along and took notes. "He made it easier to understand," Rylee said."I appreciated him coming over." Chris Waba came over to Rylee Anderson's house to give her a face-to-face lesson while social distancing.

StudyAbroadAlum We the teachers are doing a tremendous effort not only teaching our students but also shaping their hearts at this difficult moment...God bless this marvelous teacher!!

Great!!! Mind the physical distancing.. However That thougtful move is inspiring

Teachers are special!❤️

Waoooo. I could do same to ensure mathematics is impacted for any level of mathematical inclination. He's being passionate, I'm more passionate.

Skype?

Could have just video chatted, people don't know social distancing

Not all heros wear capes 👍👍👍

Why couldn't the parents help her out instead

Mixed feelings about whether the additional risk of infection is justified by the need to understand and solve an algebra equation... especially with all the resources available online. Many think the teacher is a hero, but I’m not so sure.

pathetic

this is great and touching, but i would like to take this opportunity to point out that the whiteboard could be an app , and all this could be done virtually with meeting apps like webex, or probably zoom. trying to do it over email is like so 80s.

I just wish there was a way to communicate remotely from the comfort and safety of your own home.

We’re all trying to literally preserve lives right now. These stories are not news worthy.

Math beats every virus👏👏

No social distancing in NJ where GovMurphy welcomed all undocumented immigrants into the state. Kitchens, construction, and landscaping are still open for business every day and continue to spread the virus.

This is the education we are looking for, not some expensive fancy schooling attracting foreigners

🤗🤗😊😊👍👀💟

‘Rules’? This is America. You mean guidelines or recommendations.

CNN refused to air Trumps opening comments at yesterday’s briefing which were extremely informative. They only aired the briefing after he spoke. CNN is an enemy of the people now. They are desperately trying to stop his approval rating from going up, even if it cost lives.

One good egg does not make up for the vast liberal bent of public schools. I hope parents use this time to think critically of their children's education/indoctrination and push for 1) school choice vouchers 2) private schools 3) homeschool options, not in any order.

I adore hearing stories like this. It reminds us of all the Good in humanity.

Another hero...

Awesome teacher!!!!

Because that’s what we do! teachersrock

This is simply amazing!

So many under paid teachers are doing amazing things to stay connected with students

That is so beautiful ❤️

I think zoom would be just as effective

JoeBiden is a teacher now, creepy

Thank you sir.

Love this story. On a silly note, this would’ve been a nightmare come true for me if I was still a student and under normal circumstances. Go, teachers! ❤️
