A dad has set the internet on fire after revealing he pulled his kids out of school—not because of academics, safety concerns, or bullying, but because he didn’t like how their teacher looked.
According to Kris Krohn, a social media influencer and self-proclaimed real estate guru, a good educator isn’t just about knowledge or passion—it’s about appearance. His viral TikTok video has left many people outraged, while a handful agree with his take.
“I Didn’t Want Her Teaching My Kids”
In the clip shared with his 1.2 million followers, Krohn explained why he decided to remove his children from their school.

“I went to a parent-teacher conference, took one look at her, and thought, ‘Nope.’” He described the teacher as being “200 pounds overweight” and claimed she lacked energy and inspiration.
“You’re spending more time with my kid than I am, and I’m concerned about the influence you have. What you’re teaching isn’t just in books—it’s how you live your life,” he argued.
Blasting the Education System
Krohn didn’t stop at just one teacher—he took aim at the entire education system.
“Most teachers are uninspired and don’t even like their jobs,” he claimed. “And then, there’s a system that protects them forever. You can’t get fired even if you hate teaching.”
He went on to say that teachers are “underpaid” and suggested that, in his own homeschooling setup, he personally selects educators who are “the coolest, most experienced, and fittest” to teach his children.
Internet Reacts: “This Is Just Fat-Shaming”
Krohn’s comments sparked a heated debate, with many slamming his focus on the teacher’s weight rather than her ability.
“Being overweight doesn’t mean someone is lazy or uninspiring,” one person commented. “Immediate judgment based on looks is just gross.”
Another added, “So if a teacher is fit but terrible at their job, that’s fine?”
A self-identified teacher weighed in, saying, “I may not be ‘cool and fit,’ but I’m passionate about what I do. His argument lost all credibility when he started fat-shaming.”
However, a small number of viewers actually agreed with him, with one writing, “He’s just saying what others are afraid to say,” and another calling it “the most honest take I’ve ever heard.”
