Megan Davidhizar, a high school English teacher, gained viral attention after sharing a humorous story on TikTok about the rubber ducks her students gifted her. Initially, two students gave her matching bride and groom ducks to celebrate her wedding. Over time, the trend grew, and Davidhizar received many more rubber ducks from students and colleagues. Her TikTok video, which has over 4.3 million views, serves as a lighthearted warning for teachers about what gifts to expect from students. Despite the overwhelming number of ducks, Davidhizar cherishes each one as a reminder of her impact on her students. She writes the names and years of the givers on the bottoms, valuing the connections made through her teaching.
