Vice President and Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Sara Duterte gave her thoughts on the teacher who went viral on social media after she publicly called out her students while doing a livestream on social media.
In an interview during her visit to Cambodia, Duterte said that she already ordered the regional office where the teacher, @serendipitylover, was teaching, not to penalize her.
According to her, she had already talked to the teacher, and she was asked to control her emotions the next time.
“Tao lang tayo lahat. Lahat tayo inaabutan ng galit. Pinasabihan ko ‘yung teacher tumigil muna siya ‘pag galit,” she said.
It can be recalled that the said teacher received both criticism and support on social media due to the statements she uttered to her students.
“Hindi ako nandito para gawin ninyong tau-tauhan ang gawin niyong robot at gawin niyong katatawanan sa harapan,” said the teacher while recording herself on camera.
“Hindi ako nag board exam para hindi lang i-respeto ng mga wala pa namang nararating sa buhay,” she added.
She even called the students ‘ugaling squatter’ to describe their attitude.
Influencer Madam Kilay even said that the teacher should stop judging the future of her students based on their current attitude.
“Hindi natin pwedeng husgahan ang tao kahit simo mang poncio pilato ‘yan. Wag tayong maghuhusga sa kasalukuyang estado nila. So pa’no magsisipag ‘yan? Paano sila makikinig sa’yo kung ikaw mismo dina-down sila,” she stated.
