How terrible for those children, whenever that was taped. They are all trying to do their job (learn), and deal with pretending she's not there to concentrate, and she does look tired, but she also looks like she's sneering at the students. They notice that kind of behavior out of adults, every single time adults do it. And we know that students who are fearful or stressed struggle more to concentrate learn in that moment. Whatever she does when talking to the media, she's doing a disservice to the students she supposedly serves when her facial expressions aren't positive, or at least neutral, in their classrooms.
