The Department of Education (DepEd) has already launched an investigation into the viral video where a teacher was shown throwing barbs at her students.
In the video, the teacher, who’s using the alias @SerendipityLover, can be heard trying to boast about passing her licensure exam and telling her students that they would fail in the future due to their attitude.
She even compared her students to the attitude of ‘squatters’ or those who are illegally settling in privately owned lands.
DepEd Deputy Spokesperson and Assistant Secretary Francis Bringas are already trying to verify the incident, which was caught live by thousands of netizens.
They’re also gathering complete information about the encounter to make an incident report before taking their next steps against the teacher.
Bringas said they would update the public on their next move immediately.
Many experts believed that the teacher would face administrative proceedings due to the words she used against her students.
There’s also a possibility that the teacher didn’t follow the DepEd Order No. 49 series of 2022 or the Promotion of Professionalism in the Implementation and Delivery of Basic Education Programs and Services, as she was caught using a social media platform while in the middle of her class.
As of writing, the teacher has yet to give any statement on the actions she has done to her students.
