The boy's mum said she doesn’t know where he got the idea that teachers are underpaid.

Parker Williams, a 9-year-old boy in Florida, felt that his teacher wasn’t getting proper recognition. So he gave her $15 from his birthday fund to show his respect for her profession.

Parker’s mom Jennifer tells Yahoo Lifestyle that her son never vocalized his plan; instead, he secretly wrote a note to his teacher. Since Parker was already back at his desk, Chambers quickly wrote a response: “I can’t accept this but appreciate the gesture, Parker. Students like you are the reason I teach.”
