In a viral video, a number of school students were seen crowding around a man and breaking into tears. The video is reportedly from a school in Mizoram where students were bidding farewell to their beloved headmaster.
Lalram Mawia, taught in the same school for the past thirty-two years and held the position of headmaster for eleven years.
‘Good Teachers Are Always Remembered,’ Say Netizens
The video was shared widely on social media and has garnered a lot of reactions, with many applauding the connection that Mawia shares with his students.
According to a report in East Mojo, Mawia had asked his students to not venture out of their classrooms during school hours on his last day but, to his surprise, as he marched to leave, a huge crowd of students gathered to give him a farewell.
“I did not expect that kind of a reaction. I believe in discipline, and I thought the kids didn’t like me that much, but their reaction was unexpected,” Mawia was quoted as saying in the same report.
