“#Kindergarten teacher changes ABCs song, goes viral on TikTok\u00a0<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n A, B, C. It\u2019s as easy as 1, 2, 3.<\/p>\n

Or is it?<\/p>\n

A kindergarten teacher on TikTok is going viral for revealing a new version of the alphabet song that is being taught at her Los Angeles elementary school.<\/p>\n

Arielle Fodor, who goes by @Ms_Frazzled on the video-sharing app<\/a>, posted a clip to the site this week debuting the remixed song, which has racked up 2.2 million views.<\/p>\n

The new tune starts out like the original. But, instead of rushing through the L, M, N, O, P portion of the song, each letter gets equal time, changing the tune\u2019s cadence and rhyme. Instead of ending with \u201cnow I know my ABCs, next time won\u2019t you sing with me,\u201d the lyrics have changed to \u201cnow I never will forget how to say the alphabet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fodor, 28, was notified of the change during a curriculum training in June. Though she screams in shock at the end of her TikTok, Fodor said the change is \u201cso much better for the students,\u201d she told The Post.<\/p>\n

The new version was created by the company Dream English Kids in 2012. \u201cThis version has a slow L, M, N, O, P as it was originally recorded to teach children learning English as a second or foreign language. I found it much easier for the children to recognize and memorize all of the letters this way,\u201d reads the Dream English description of the song on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fodor said that a large population of kids in her district are English learners, so the new song is extremely beneficial. \u201cIf you think about kindergarten, they\u2019re all kind of English language learners,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019re making education more acceptable for students who are learning English, and those are often our brown and black students, especially in my community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The kids had no trouble adjusting to the change. \u201cI don\u2019t tell them the old way is wrong. I tell them, \u2018Hey, we\u2019re going to sing the ABC song in a silly way.\u2019 And they\u2019re like, \u2018OK!\u2019 They don\u2019t even clock it,\u201d said Fodor, who has been teaching kindergarten since 2018.<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019re making education more acceptable for students who are learning English.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Her TikTok followers, on the other hand, weren\u2019t so open to the switch.<\/p>\n

A lot of them were like, \u2018This is crazy,\u2019\u2009\u201d she said. Some commenters incorrectly thought the order of the letters changed. \u201cPeople were saying, \u2018If you change the alphabetic order, do you use the old song to alphabetize or the new song?\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

Others were downright angry. \u201cPeople [were] being like, \u2018I won\u2019t be teaching my child this way, I\u2019m going to be teaching them the right way,\u2019 \u201d said Fodor, who started making TikToks in April.<\/p>\n

District parents, on the other hand, have had no complaints about the new song. \u201cNone of my colleagues have heard a peep,\u201d she said. \u201cI think they have a bigger picture that there are bigger things to be worried about now with their child\u2019s education,\u201d like distance learning, Fodor said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fodor is happy to make the switch. \u201cWhatever makes it easier for [the students] is good for me, because that\u2019s why I\u2019m there,\u201d she said. As an educator, \u201cYou have to have that flexibility and be a lifelong learner. The best teachers roll with it, even if it\u2019s the beloved ABC song from childhood.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
