He told the story about his idea through his video captions. “Online School Sucks,” he wrote.
“I feel bad for my students stuck at home on computers…But I still have a few students in the classroom…They work hard and I thought they deserved a win today,” he wrote.
In the now viral video, the masked students slowly stream into the classroom, and when they realize they will be allowed to play the new PS5 projected onto a whiteboard during class, the light in their eyes and their sounds of pure joy are heartwarming to say the least.
In a post on his Instagram page, Wolf_Duckworth responded to a follower who asked if he had always wanted to be a teacher. “Yes! I’ve always wanted to be a content creating teacher,” he said. He went on to say that after the video of students went viral, he feels blessed that his dream is finally coming true.
In celebration of 100K TikTok followers, Wolf_Duckworth posted a PS5 giveaway on Instagram. That giveaway will be announced on December 12.
