Why this principal wears PJs and reads bedtime stories on Facebook Live

By Allison Klein Allison Klein Anchor of the Inspired Life blog Email Bio Follow March 1 at 8:00 AM To foster a love of reading, elementary educators tell their students to read a book at night, or have someone read to them. One principal in Texas has made it personal: She snuggles into a pair of pajamas and reads to her students herself.

After watching George and listening to her animated character voices students will approach her to ask where they can find that book in the school library. “The bottom line is I love, love kids,” said George, adding she does not have any of her own. “I know if I don’t reach them outside of school I never reach them in school.”

The evening she read “Ladybug Girl,” she came to a page where Ladybug Girl’s brother says she can’t play with him because she’s too small. George paused and looked into the camera.

A lovely story. Perhaps it is a hazard of the job, but would have liked to have seen a sliver of discussion about whether and how FB can be used appropriately with elementary school children lest hundreds of teachers follow suit with no guardrails. privacy AlliKlein

ok ok

Actually it IS science. I hope it gets to the kids effectively. Love, not hate, is what the kids need.

Didn't Michael Jackson used to do the same thing minus the Facebook live part?

If a child is going to be on Facebook, then this woman's creativity is welcomed since today's parents are also on Facebook talking crap rather than reading to their children and bonding.

That''s all you have. I have more interesting news.

Reading to my kids was one of my favorite things to do! I miss it so much!

This. In every school everywhere. A child who doesn't feel loved has so many more hurdles.

No one cares
