DESCRIPTION: A TEACHER’S SONG: Martha Rivera isn’t exactly the kind of person who’d seek fame on Youtube. She’s a dedicated kindergarten teacher in Monterrey, Mexico. In 2011, gunfire from drug gangs came dangerously close to her class full of five and six year olds.  So she sang to her students to keep them calm – and a mobile phone video of the incident was seen by millions around the world.
