Students ask beloved physics teacher to solve an equation — he uncovered a hidden message meant just for him

The bond between a teacher and student often begins with authority but evolves into a meaningful connection. One such heartwarming moment unfolded when a group of students surprised their Physics teacher with a thoughtful gesture. They asked him to solve an equation, unaware that the numbers contained a sweet message just for him. The touching video was shared by SFM-seniors2k26 (@sfmseniors2k26) on TikTok.

In a typical classroom setting, the video began with a female student writing an equation on the board and asking their Physics teacher, Mr. Asaad, to solve it. The teacher took the student's marker and carefully explained each step to the class as he worked through the problem. However, when he reached the solution, he looked puzzled. At this moment, another female student approached him and revealed the hidden message in the equation—"We love you." Seemingly touched, the teacher looked at his students and blew a flying kiss in appreciation.

The video received an amazing response on social media, garnering nearly 18 million views and leaving people in awe. For instance, @vinong007 commented, "This is the kind of trend that should be made popular. It promotes respect and positivity for the teacher and lets the teacher know that he/she is appreciated. It's the simple things in life we forget." Similarly, @hyxunrens added, "This is the first time I'm seeing a physics teacher finally getting treated well." @mariolahoud2 wrote, "The best teacher I had and I will never forget the things he taught us. This man is a genius. I wish we could go back to his classes."

@thanapatduangrith shared, "The result is 'We <3 u,' which means 'We love you.' For those who didn't get it." @joanabirached, who was also a student of Mr. Asaad, chimed in, "He is the physics teacher, much love for him and I was his student also." Meanwhile, @yamom said, "The kind of teacher, especially a math/physics teacher, who can inspire this kind of love in students is a gem to be sure." On the other hand, @ashley wrote, "You just know he's had other classes where the students aren't so nice and this is his safe place."

In another touching story that highlighted the bond between teachers and students, a trans student, u/throwaway280569, shared a heartfelt story that now stands deleted on Reddit about how a teacher helped them escape an abusive relationship and navigate challenges at school. The student revealed that they had been in a toxic relationship with their ex-girlfriend, which they confided in a friend via school laptop messages.

Unknown to them, their teacher had access to the messages and recognized the situation, subtly addressing the issue in class. He spoke for 45 minutes about the importance of getting out of abusive relationships and offering support without directly pointing at the student. Moreover, the teacher showed deep respect for the student's gender identity, consistently using their correct name and avoiding harmful misgendering, unlike other teachers. His kindness and discretion gave the trans student emotional safety and support, helping them feel less isolated and more respected.
