Middle school teacher Ms. Amy Allen was on the receiving end of some serious hate when it came to how one stranger thought she conducted herself in the classroom. Thankfully, Ms. Allen was ready to teach this shamer a lesson — and in the most hilarious way possible.
This Middle School Teacher Just Wanted To Make Learning Fun Again
Middle school is notoriously some of the toughest years in a kid's life. Bodies are changing, their mind is growing, and they are making that critical transition in every kids life.
There's a reason you always hear celebrities thanking a teacher who always believed in them. Because growing up, we actually spend more face time with our teachers than our own parents. So the way they treat us has a serious effect on shaping our self-esteem. With the right tools and attitude, teachers have the power to transform learning from something daunting into something empowering!
"I love teaching middle schoolers because they are awkward, and I’m awkward, so we get along."
- Amy Allen
Thankfully, Ms. Allen is one teacher who understands the value of meeting kids on their level. And she's quick to share her tips and tricks with the world. On her TikTok channel, Ms. Allen proudly posts quick insights into how she runs her classroom.
In a recent post, the teacher shared a video of her playing a learning game called "Grudgeball" with her students. She even posted a handy link in the bio, incase other teachers wanted to steal her game template in order to play with their class. Behind the camera her students' laughter rang clear as a bell. Yes, they were learning, but they were having fun doing it too. And there's nothing wrong with that. At least, for most people.

The comment read: "your a teacher act like it." For those who paid attention in English class, you'll notice the glaring grammatical errors. It was almost too easy. School was in session, and this was one teacher-shamer who was not going to be saved by the bell.
Ms. Allen's response was a classic teacher move. In a follow up video, she wrote the troll's comment on the whiteboard, then humorously corrected the errors, turning it into a mini-lesson for everyone watching. She added proper punctuation, fixed the grammar, and even included a tongue-in-cheek reminder to "Come see me if you have any further questions." Talk about schooling the critics!
The video quickly went viral, garnering millions of views and cheers from her followers. It wasn't just her clever correction that resonated; it was the way she handled criticism with grace and a touch of humor. After all, teachers are no strangers to spelling and grammar lessons, even when they come from unexpected places.
Check out Ms. Allen's video below for her A+ comeback.

Despite the rude comment, Ms. Allen's students were firmly in her corner. They rallied behind her, tracking the video’s growing views like they were monitoring a pop quiz's success rate. As her comeback video gained traction, her class grew even more excited.
"What’s funny is I left my correction on the board accidentally, and the next day, students asked me what that was all about. When I explained it, they thought it was cool because 'why would anyone go after Ms. Allen'? At that point, the video had maybe 10,000 views. I never imagined the video would go viral."

It was a deal too good to pass up. When the millionth view hit, the room erupted in cheers. Ms. Allen shared she was a classroom "rockstar." The support from her students was overwhelming, and it showed that a teacher's connection with their class goes beyond the four walls of the classroom.
