Science Teacher Dresses Up As 'Spider-Man' In Class To Help Students Love Learning Better

A science teacher from Mexico is putting the extra effort when it comes to making learning fun for his students. He comes to the school dressed up in a "Spider-Man" costume, which might look funny to everyone else. However, he believes that the students love attending his class better because of this.

Moises Vasquez, 26, leaves the house in a "Spider-Man" costume and commutes via a subway with his mask on to National Autonomous University of Mexico where he's in the faculty.  He doesn't claim to have the best class in the school, but his dedication to teach is becoming legendary. "I just want to make the classroom a better place," he said, per Reuters.

Vasquez started wearing the costume in 2014 despite advise from family that he might be laughed at in school. But the opposite actually happened as his students were more eager to go to his classes. Some students in school even thought that "Spider-Man" was filming in town.

The teacher told Semana that he got into "Spider-Man" since the release of the movie starring Tobey Maguire in 2002. Then he decided to make his own costume with a plan to wear this in his class. He has taught over 300 students in his Spidey suit and has been known as "Spider-Moy" around school. Now and then, the teacher still get surprised looks and laughs, but what really matters to him is that the he's able to connect to the students. 

However, Vasquez admits he only dons the costume occasionally. When the students have to take tests or when he needs to explain a difficult theorem in class, the teacher wears the suit as a way to motivate the kids.

Coincidentally, Peter Parker, the alter-ego of "Spider-Man," used to be a science teacher before he worked as a photographer and this has inspired Moises Vasquez to be in character even more. Watch Moises Vasquez as he prepares for work in the video below:
