When she got back she found emails from some of her&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.upworthy.com\/teachers-share-tell-tale-signs-they-know-a-parent-truly-cares-about-their-kid-ex1\/\">students\u2019 parents<\/a>&nbsp;waiting for her. She wasn\u2019t expecting much. She&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reels\/DVG8MrgDvDs\">posted a video<\/a>&nbsp;reading them on her Instagram page, @tlcwithmsb, and it has since been viewed more than 2 million times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-minnesota-teacher-is-not-so-vanilla\">Minnesota teacher is not so vanilla<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first one started warmly \u2014 \u201cI hope you are having a great time relaxing, you deserve it\u201d \u2014 and then pivoted to business. The parent had heard Ms. B was in Mexico and had one request:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalsavors.com\/blog\/additives\/vanilla-extract\/mexican-vanilla-vs-vanilla-extract\">real vanilla<\/a>. Not the kind you get in Minnesota. The good stuff. She offered to Venmo her for the trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms. B couldn\u2019t fulfill the order. Her school district had blocked her email access during the vacation, so she didn\u2019t see the message until she was already home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second email was from a parent concerned about sunburns. She had a home remedy, she explained. She would make it herself. Ms. B just had to come pick it up. \u201cThat\u2019s seriously so sweet\u2026 I might actually try it,\u201d Ms. B said in her video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-parents-made-sure-she-wasn-t-stranded\">Parents made sure she wasn\u2019t stranded<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The third came after Ms. B had posted a separate video in a mild panic. She\u2019d accidentally booked her return flight for Monday instead of Sunday and couldn\u2019t easily afford to rebook. A parent watched it and immediately emailed with a solution: Ms. B was welcome to stay at her second cousin\u2019s uncle\u2019s place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms. B said in her video that parents like these don\u2019t get enough credit. The comment section agreed, filling up with people who said the emails were a perfect picture of what the right kind of school community actually looks like \u2014 the kind where the parents are as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/standtogether.org\/stories\/education\/why-parent-involvement-in-education-helps-kids-and-schools-thrive\">invested in their teacher<\/a>&nbsp;as they are in their kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vanilla, for what it\u2019s worth, remains undelivered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThis teacher\u2019s inbox is peak community.\u201d Ms. B, a 42-year-old teacher in Minnesota, left school on a Friday for a weekend trip to&nbsp;Mexico.
