She truly is an inspiration — that’s the long and short of it.

A kindergarten teacher cut her hair after one of her students was bullied for having a shorter ‘do.

Shannon Grimm, who teaches at Meador Elementary School, in Willis, Texas decided over winter break to change her style, according to Today.

“So, I did something today. I cut my hair today, I cut it all off,” she said in a Facebook live video.

After she cut her hair, Grimm said the first thing her 5-year-old son told her was that she looked like a boy.

“I don’t want my students to worry about the way they look, because they’re there to make friends and learn,” she said.

Priscilla Perez, 5, had been teased for a while over her cropped style. Like Grimm’s son, her classmates said she looked like a boy.

Grim noticed that Perez had been depressed for a while.

“When my students come to school upset because of the way they look, that destroys me,” the teacher said.

Before Grimm decided to cut her hair, her friends discouraged her, saying there were others ways of teaching students life lessons.

But she saw it through.

“Sometimes as a teacher you have to live through what your students are going through.”

When she returned to the classroom, Grimm’s students were shocked to see their formerly long-locked teacher sporting a shorter style.

“You can look any way and still be true to yourself and be whoever you want,” she said.

After the experience, Grimm told Today that Priscilla’s confidence went up.

Grim said she loves her students no matter what, and that’s she happy to be there for them.

“Giving them [my students] the confidence at school to get excited about going to school — knowing that they have a teacher that supports them and loves them — is something that I want to do.”
