The beloved Teacher Rabatho delights little learners with playground games, tea-time fun, and a heartwarming “you too” trend moment, leaving parents calling him a real gem.
Johannesburg, South Africa (02 March 2026) – At St. Andrews Preschool, every day is a little brighter thanks to Teacher Rawatu. Known for his playful spirit and genuine care, he has captured the hearts of the little learners and their parents.
In a fun social media trend, people often respond ‘you too’ automatically when someone says something like ‘enjoy your day,’ even if it doesn’t quite make sense. Like when a waiter says ‘enjoy your meal’, and you reply ‘you too.’
Well, Teacher Rabatho joined in on the trend with his little learners. From painting to tea time, and from playground races to learning activities, he immerses himself in the kids’ world as if he were one of them.
He’s not just supervising, he plays, laughs, and learns alongside them, making school a place where every child feels included and encouraged.
Parents have been quick to praise him online. “My daughter is 11 now, and he still waves at us every time we drive past the school. He is a real gem,” shared one. Another called him an “earthly angel,” highlighting how his friendliness left a lasting impression.
Thanks to him, the preschool is a place to learn and a place where every child feels safe.
