Texas Preschool Teacher Leigha Bishop Copies Her Student’s Hairstyle

A Texas teacher’s inspiring interaction with her student is going viral. Leigha Bishop noticed that her 4-year-old preschool student August Burroughs wasn’t overly confident about a hairstyle she was wearing—so she decided to take action.

According to ABC 13, after telling August that she loved her hair, Bishop showed up the next day in school with the EXACT same braided style.

“August always changes her hair, kind of like I do. And when she got here Monday, she got out of the car and I was like, ‘August, your hair is so cute,'” Bishop explained. “And she was like, ‘Yep, thank you, whatever.’ And I was like, ‘No, I’m really going to go home and do my hair.'”

Little August was ecstatic and Bishop’s sweet black girl magic moment is garnering her praise.

Kudos to this educator for trying to instill pride in her student, we need more Leigha Bishops in our classrooms.
