Kidush Hashem real!!
Who say that Jewish are bad people?
Teachers need to be paid more!!!
Is this something to be proud of? Smh
much better than a chem teacher i knew who had to part time and ended up washing his student's car 😥
So happy for him and he’s family 😄👏🏼
AAHH I’m obsessed!!!
There are always those special teachers you will remember forever….
Welcome to America. Where teachers have to work off go fund me.
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?
Wow 😍😊💗💗💗💗💗💗
Wow. They used to just give the teachers an apple.
Something to think about in cultures. If this were a black or Hispanic school they would’ve stole his clothes instead.
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?
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
That looks to be some kind of occult religious ritual. Nice try ABC News.
This is so nice 😊. I’m a math teacher and I know how much work he does.
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
Impoverished educator requires charity to work.
mann this is great!
love conquers all these people that did this are great
🥰🥰🥰
What a wonderful story . Students making a difference to a Amazing teacher . ❤️
Wow 😳 bravo ♥️
I like when some people restore my faith in humanity. Bravo, bravo ♥️
"Grossly underpaid teacher relies on charity from students to meet transportation needs." There, ABC, I fixed the title for you. You're welcome.
There is a huge wow I’m very blessed
Wow. Awesome.
Bloody disgusting, a gas guzzling, enviroment destroying tool of republicans. Just appalling
The article in Los Angeles Times gave more insight to this story. Unique pupils for an extra unique teacher. Bless you all.
It’s a great thing that all of the students pitched in did a wonderful thing. But it’s a sad thing that a teachers salary can not afford to get a newer vehicle. So messed up.
Wow I wish I was friends with Jewish people and they help me.
So being a teacher doesn't pay enough, good thing he's getting a handout
The real story should be about teachers not being paid enough to even afford a car.
The biggest hearts are the best part of this world. Bless them.
10 of the top 11 states with the lowest funding for education are the Republican-led states of Florida, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Utah, South Dakota, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Idaho. 11 of the top 12 states with the highest poverty rate are the Republican-led states of Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Arkansas, West Virginia, Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina and Texas.
THIS is news. Let’s see more of this and less political division.
Awesome seems like such a cool teacher
