Lottimore is a third grade teacher at a Charlotte school,
and she is not playing around with these third graders.
I'm Sarah Lee ninety six point nine the cat. Miss
Lottimore is charging her third grader's rent. Kids are not
liking it whatsoever. She said, you got a nice desk,
you've got to pay me for that, a nice blue
chair you're sitting in, And one by one she collected
(08:56):
five dollars for rent. Now it's not real money, it's
money that they've earned. And there are videos that have
gone viral where kids are telling Miss Lottimore, I don't
want to give you this money. And her response to
that is, you're evicted, give me your desk, give me
your chair. You're kicked out. She is teaching real life lessons.
I don't know about third grade, but I wish I
(09:17):
had a teacher like Miss Alattimore. Teachers are the backbone
of America. They are the true MVPs. And you can
thank your favorite teacher right now for making a difference.
They can win five thousand dollars to upgrade their classroom.

Stapleton went to high school in Kentucky. Two hundred and
fifty people graduated in his senior class. He was valedictorian
that he didn't give a speech. He did what he
does best. He sing a song called Memories. Imagine being
(10:02):
in that high school graduating class.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
And having no idea who he would become.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
You know, now, every time they hear him on the radio,
they're telling their kids, Hey, I went to high school
with this guy. He's saying during my high school graduation
and they're probably like, yeah, right, Dad Chris Sampleton is
coming to town along with the Landy Wilson, and we've
got tickets go in him right now. Ninety six nine
