MEXICO CITY, MEXICO - MAY 15: A list of beers are seen on a blackboard in a craft brewery on May 15, 2020 in Mexico City, Mexico.

<p>A <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/maryland-high-school-teacher-wins-1-million-global-teacher-prize/">Black educator</a> is causing a splash on Twitter over one of her teaching methods for her elementary school students. The teacher, listed as Bonnie with @yafavoriteaunty as her handle, shared a common practice with her followers. Within two days, the initial tweet received more than 43,000 retweets and over 408,000 likes.</p>
<p>&#8220;One of my babies didn&#8217;t do his homework. No kid should be embarrassed because they lack knowledge,&#8221; wrote Ms. H, as Bonnie described herself in a separate tweet. &#8220;So I tell them to write me notes and I write back. No outbursts, no displays. So he gets credit just for turning it in and letting me know he&#8217;s struggling.&#8221;</p>

<h6><strong>Ms.H&#8217;s Influence </strong></h6>
<p>One thing our new age <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/teachers-go-the-extra-mile-for-their-students-during-viral-pandemic-while-teaching-virtually/">educators</a> are doing is changing the way we think about teaching students! Ms. H&#8217;s focus for her students seems to be on learning. Along with the tweet, she shared a partial photo of a student&#8217;s homework with the written note &#8220;Division is hard.&#8221; In red ink, Ms. H responded &#8220;I will help you!&#8221;</p>
<p>In a response tweet to the compliment &#8220;awww that&#8217;s awesome,&#8221; Bonnie explained where her inspiration stems from.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was the kid that got put on display for not knowing something,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;It&#8217;s discouraging and embarrassing. I refuse to put my babies through that.&#8221;</p>
<h6><strong>A Wishlist Fulfilled</strong></h6>
<p>At the encouragement of users moved by her story, she shared a wish list for classroom items. She previously asked people not to send her money, but to purchase supplies for the students. Bonnie said she&#8217;s a inner city teacher who often funds supplies with her own pockets. Within hours, people online bought the list out.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am truly overwhelmed with the support and kind words from everyone,&#8221; Ms.H tweeted. &#8220;I just want to be the kind of teacher I wish I had growing up. I&#8217;ve been ugly crying the last 2 days,&#8221; she wrote on February 11.</p>
<p>As the initial tweet continued to receive attention, Bonnie gave insight on the visual aspect of her method.</p>
<p>&#8220;There seems to be some confusion here lol so I&#8217;ll clear it up,&#8221; Bonnie tweeted. &#8220;The check mark is his grade, nothing more or less. The 2/10 you see is today&#8217;s date lol. I do that on every paper so I know when I graded it.&#8221;</p>
