An American professor held a lecture on mathematics for students with a baby in his arms.
An American professor of mathematics showed an example of a humane attitude toward students and proved that the science and education of children are not contradictory concepts. The man gave a lecture on mathematics, holding a small child of one of his students.
Morehouse College student, 26 years old (Atlanta, GA) Wayne Heyer had to take his five-month-old daughter to classes. The nanny could not be found, the wife urgently needed to go to the doctor, and the student had the last lesson before the decisive math test. He simply did not have the right to attend college. And therefore it was decided to go to school with a small child.
The student apologized to Professor Nathan Alexander and explained to him what caused his strange presence at the lecture. And then the professor he himself offered to take the child for the duration of the lesson so that the student would be more comfortable to take notes of the information and not be distracted by the kid.
Throughout the lecture, the baby behaved surprisingly calm. She managed to sleep, get hungry, eat from a bottle. The professor did all this, not looking up from lecturing for students.
One of the listeners could not resist and took photos that for a couple of days broke all records on "likes" and comments on Twitter.
The head of the college, David Thomas, also learned about the incident from the Internet. But he did not scold his teacher, telling reporters that the teacher has demonstrated an amazing endurance, principles of love and ideology.
CNN journalists, who are also interested in the personality of the mathematics teacher, the teacher himself explained that he did this not only because of the love for his subject and the desire to instill it in students, but also out of respect for a particular student - the baby's father. He noted that this student is one of the most persistent in the course. To pay for his education, he works in two jobs, while he studies full-time, raises a child, participates in public college life and sports competitions, and almost all subjects pass on "excellent."
