  1. Is this something to be proud of? Smh

  2. much better than a chem teacher i knew who had to part time and ended up washing his student's car πŸ˜₯

  3. So happy for him and he’s family πŸ˜„πŸ‘πŸΌ

  4. AAHH I’m obsessed!!!

  5. There are always those special teachers you will remember forever….

  6. Welcome to America. Where teachers have to work off go fund me.

  7. How is he not able to afford a car on his own (a cheap used car even)? Do Jewish private schools in LA really pay their teachers that poorly?

  8. Wow πŸ˜πŸ˜ŠπŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—

  9. Wow. They used to just give the teachers an apple.

  10. Something to think about in cultures. If this were a black or Hispanic school they would’ve stole his clothes instead.

  11. A teacher can't afford a car on his pitiful salary and so his students pitch in to buy him one. How is this a feel-good story and not an indictment of a system that expects its educators to live on crumbs?

  12. I’m really glad his students did that for him but the fact a teachers pay is so bad they can’t afford a car says something about American. And then people are surprised when there is a teachers shortage

  13. That looks to be some kind of occult religious ritual. Nice try ABC News.

  14. This is so nice 😊. I’m a math teacher and I know how much work he does.

  15. This teacher has money to buy his own car, some people chose to be thrifty and drive a beater … these students should keep their money and invest in their own college plan instead

  16. Impoverished educator requires charity to work.

  17. love conquers all these people that did this are great

  18. πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

  19. What a wonderful story . Students making a difference to a Amazing teacher . ❀️

  20. Wow 😳 bravo β™₯️
    I like when some people restore my faith in humanity. Bravo, bravo β™₯️

  21. "Grossly underpaid teacher relies on charity from students to meet transportation needs." There, ABC, I fixed the title for you. You're welcome.
