Robinson took the attention in stride. In a recent interview with Right This Minute, Robinson talked to the hosts about his newfound heartthrob status.
“Parents don’t really try to hit on me. Nobody kind of gives me that kind of praise in person, so I never really expected to get it online,” Robinson explained to RTM.
The fine-ass sixth-grade teacher expounded on the importance of making sure his students felt empowered and have fun learning, mainly as he works in a hybrid format– in person and virtually.
Robinson’s Instagram account was public, but since the rush of followers and lurkers have increased his internet celebrity status– his account is now private.
