Finding new ways to motivate your students can be tough, but one teacher has come up with a hilariously clever idea involving her cat. The best part is that she doesn’t even have to bring her pet into the classroom for it to work! An educator on social media shared a video of her brilliant “teacher tip,” and it’s gotten over a million views. According to her, this simple trick works like a charm!

As a cat mom who works during the day, this teacher has a pet camera installed at home that also dispenses treats. This way, she can keep an eye on and interact with her felines even when she’s not there. Whenever she really needs to motivate her class, she promises to let them give her kitties a treat via the pet cam. They even get to watch the animals enjoy their snack on the classroom projector screen! Watch the video here.
In her social media post, the teacher caught some adorable footage of her students feeding the cats. She didn’t show the kids’ faces in the clip, but you could hear them cheering as the pets ate their treats on the big screen.
“Teacher tip: Let your students feed your pets a treat as a class reward,” wrote the teacher in her video.
Commenters loved this educator’s unique approach to motivating her students. One person had a particularly devious suggestion to further inspire these children to be on their best behavior!
“When they’re not good make them just look at the kitties while you explain to the kitties why they aren’t getting any treats today lmao,” the user wrote.
Although it’s a pretty funny recommendation, this method for getting kids to behave is probably a little too extreme. We think that this teacher had it right the first time by motivating her kids with positive reinforcement!
