It needs to come from inside, just studying how to teach is not enough to be a teacher.<br>Jonathan Oliver, P.E. teacher at WG Nunn Elementary in Valdosta, Georgia, went viral after his action that got captured while coaching a kid&#8217;s basketball game.<br>When his student, little Kristen Paulk, asked his help for her hair to tie it, his response and mimics stole hearts.<br>He immediately took a knee and started to tie her hair in a ponytail as he was smiling doing it.<br>Kandice Anderson, another teacher from WG Nunn Elementary, had captured the moment as Jonathan helped his student Kristen.<br>\u201cWhen your job goes beyond teaching!\u201d captioned the video that went viral.<br>Good Morning America reached to the teacher and spoke.<br>\u201cIt was shocking to me that it got that much attention because we all do it,\u201d he said.<br>\u201cWe teachers want to make them feel like they\u2019re at home and that they enjoy being here,\u201d<br>\u201cWe try to love on them as much as possible. To me, it was just a ponytail.\u201d<br>\u201cIt was a good thing she asked for a ponytail. Anything else, I\u2019d say, \u2018You better ask your mom,\u2019\u201d<br>Little girl\u2019s mother, Miyah Cleckley, said that,<br>\u201cI always know that Kristen is in very good hands with him. I thought it was really cute because her father he does their hair a lot. We have five girls and one son so when I\u2019m working he has to pick up the weight of doing their hair.\u201d<br>What do you think?
