Tonight, my baby brother David, asked me to create a Facebook account for him. I asked him why, since I’ve turned down his request for his own Facebook account before. He told me it was for his computer assignment, and showed me this piece of paper.
Here’s what was written on it.
Grade 3 – Computer
Assignment:
1. Open your Facebook account (if you don’t have a Facebook account, please make an account to accomplish this assignment)
2. Type Xx. Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx’x Xxxx, Xxx. in the search box
3. Click photos and click XXXXXX PAGEANT OFFICAL CANDIDATES album
4. Click the second photo, Candidate No. 2 – Xxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx then click the like button
5. This should be accomplished tomorrow, November 30 till December 1, 2011 and will serve as your graded hands-on activity for the day
6. To be checked Thursday & Friday, December 1-2, 2011 only
Now, how many things are wrong with this assignment?
1. My baby brother David is in the third grade, he is 9 years old. He shouldn’t even be on Facebook. Those of you who read my blog regularly know of my attempts to influence my baby brother to read actual books here, here, and here.
2. Liking of any page or any content in a Facebook fan page does not merit any academic purpose; thus, it should not merit grades.
3. In support to item #2, it should not be a mandatory activity.
4. Facebook rules explicitly state that the Facebook fan pages cannot conduct promos or contests that coerce its members to like a fan page or anything under its content, which falls under direct interaction between Facebook and its user.
5. The school should be my baby brother’s second home, he should not be manipulated to fulfill the personal interests of his teacher.
I took screen caps of the page and the kid and the teacher’s comments and I will post it here.
And I quote, “mag-mamagic p po aq para dmi p votes pumasok…thank you po s mga nag-votes…”
To Mrs. Xxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxxx, I do understand that as a parent you would want your daughter to win this competition but please do not do it at the expense of my brother’s education. It would’ve been better if you’ve just asked your students with Facebook accounts to vote for your daughter but the fact that you made it mandatory as an assignment makes it all so wrong.
To my baby brother David, I’m sorry, your classmates may think that you are uncool for not having a Facebook account and while it may be easier to just create a Facebook account for you and have this over with, the University that ate went to taught her to speak up when she thinks that something is wrong.
Measure a child, via academic metrics, with something as irrelevant as this? I am beyond disbelief.
Even looking at the comments thread for this contest makes me shudder. “Magic” just to get more points for her daughter by using her students. Wow. This is amazing.
Maybe she should be taught computer ethics first.
Hi Wence, I think she’s actually proud of the “magic” that she did to get more votes for her kid.
i guess your happy with the damage youve done to the teacher
i guess your little brother will be excused from his classes because you reported his teacher and destroyed her name for a little mistake 
hoho happy? 
@ awan
the teacher’s reputation should rightfully be damaged! this isn’t a “little” mistake dude.. she FORCED her students to do something they don’t like, and she’s proud of it!! what kind of teacher is that! afaik teachers are these youngsters’ 2nd parents that are RESPONSIBLE for instilling them knowledge and right conducts. what she did was a slap to the profession of teaching and a clearly unethical. what a disgrace!
@awan,
how could you be so stupid in reacting like that? It is clearly stated that the teacher was wrong. duh. try to place yourself on the shoes of the people involved; and what would you do? tell something sh*tty and I’ll slap on your face what is ethical and not on this issue. LET ME REITERATE: THE WOMAN IS A TEACHER. STOP BEING SOOOO SHALLOW-MINDED ON THIS. DUH.
The teacher’s required assignment was clearly inappropriate and coercive . Still, you should have at least censored the names of the involved. You haven’t already reported it to the principal, right? I know you’re just protecting your brother, but you’re hurting others’ feelings as well.
just my thoughts
This is sooo unethical. I can’t believe this thing is actually graded.
I think a formal complaint should be made against the teacher, if only to inform the school of what she’s doing.
You go, Ayla!
Hi Rix, I plan on talking to the school administrator tomorrow or on Thursday to clear this out. Just posted this tonight because I need to get this out of my system, umusok talaga ilong ko eh!
@jev @awan
What is wrong with you people?
The teacher in question was not only unethical, but PROUD of the fact. “magic”
Do you not think that other parents should have the option to know if their children are being taught by such a person?
I can’t believe the first thought you had was to keep her identity anonymous?
I can hear madam defensor-santiago saying ‘I AM FURIOUS! I AM BALLISTIC,I AM FOAMING IN THE MOUTH!’ hahaha
but seriously, hindi tama na gawing mandatory yung mga bagay na ganito.. The teacher should be reprimanded. Medyo natawa ako dun sa huli na nagcomment na yung nga estudyante niya ng ‘hi teacher’ haha medyo nabuking yung magic na ipinagmamalaki niya.
Anong balak mong gawin? Yung brother mo wala syang grade haha.. Reklamo mo agad!
Akshelly, natakot nga baby brother ko na wala siyang assignment but I plan to go there tomorrow or on Thursday.
Hopefully, the school administrator will sort things out, feeling ko di nila alam ‘tong assignment na ‘to.
Like this one professor from a university in Manila who asked his students to comment on the FB fan page of an activist group in exchange of “bonus points”.
That’s sad. I was lucky to have had good professors in college.
Umuusok lang talaga ilong ko sa teacher na ‘to, grade 3 students jusko. Di pa kaya nung mga bata na umangal.
this is wrong.. she should be fired.. tsk!
#StrongWords
Firing is just too much Dude. Everyone deserves a 2nd chance. Like you, the teacher is not perfect.. no one is. Perhaps a Disciplinary Action would be appropriate. If she continues on doing this (which I believe won’t happen a second time) then and only then can she be removed from services.
definitely this is wrong. the principal should be told.
Appalling. First of all she doesn’t care about her kid being in the pageant, kasi base sa sinasabi nyang “sana manalo ako,” ang gusto nya sya ang manalo, hindi ang anak nya. Pati ba naman anak, gamitin.
Gusto mo gawa tayo ng Facebook page for this? LOL
Napansin ko rin yun, naisip ko na lang baka may cash prize or something?
Malamang. Haha, kung genuinely gusto nyang manalo anak nya at naniniwala syang kaya ng ganda ng anak nyang manalo, hindina sya magma-magic, diba? So may doubt sya sa ganda ng anak nya. HAHA
My dad said something like, “Is she really that desperate to win? Why would she stoop so low?”
That assignment, as I have told you earlier us wrong in all aspects. The teacher who should protect the kids from bullying is already doing it herself. Plus, doesnt facebook restrict membership by allowing only 18 years and above to sign up (which is also why kids have to fake their birthdates in order to get in)? If that is the case, this teacher is teaching all sorts of wrong values to her students. Shame on her. Not even one’s love for one’s child would do justice to this. It just is not right and i hope you’d be able to seek audience with the principal pronto.
I am just saddened because the teacher probably thought the kids’ parents or in your case, elder siblings, wouldn’t mind, or worse, care enough to question this.
Hay. Ako ang nabubwisit sobra because if my kids’ teachers start doing this to them, i wouldn’t waste time going to the school
and demanding they do something
to that teacher!
Actually naisip ko rin yan, is she (albeit indirectly) telling her students to lie about their age?
Wow if my grade school teacher did this…my Mom would go ballistic!~
Ang mahal magpa-aral :/ complain to the principal.
And ang scary kaya nang facebook sa bata, hindi dapat in-encourage sa kanila yun. hmp!
Truleh, just last week nagkalat Facebook porn di ba? Ugh. And ang bata pa ng kapatid ko to spend hours on Farmville or kung ano mang uso ngayon.
This is sooo wrong in sooo many ways! Pati ako naasar sa teacher na yan ha, kinareer ang pagiging stage mommy. Bka pwede natin ipa-media for fun haha.
Pero seriously, this tells a lot about what’s happening in our schools today. Malas lang nila we’re taught to act when we see something that’s not right. Go Ayla! Sana pwede kuhanan yung confrontation because I wanna see the teacher’s face when you lecture her
Hello, Concerned Sister. I commend you for loving your brother and showing it passionately. I commend you further for writing this very sensitive, URGENT issue on facebook. I pray that all grade 3 students of Teacher Xxxxxx would get to read this if and when they have opened an FB account (and yes, that would require lying about their real age di ba?)
My son is one of her students. Last night, he asked for my broadband for a computer assignment. Without questions, I allowed him to use it – I always insist on my kids doing their assignments!
Then when he had a difficult time creating his FB account (thank God for that prohibition because he’s only 9 years old, he did not lie about his age) – then I realized I should monitor what assignment my son is doing!
Immediately, I read the sheet of paper with clear instructions which you also posted here. Immediately, I tried to call Sir Xxxxxxx, our elementary principal whom I personally know to be very diligent and responsible in responding to parents’ concerns very efficiently and effectively. When he wasn’t answering my cellphone call, I realized, I may be disturbing him – it was already 8 p.m. I texted him instead – equivalent to 6 long messages.
My older son, in the same school, graduating in high school, narrated that a teacher asked my son’s class to ‘like someone’ on FB – must be another pageant – but ASKED – and did not require them in the guise of an assignment. Take note – these are high school students who are at least 15 or 16 years old – mas matanda naman sa 9 years old. Tsaka pinakiusapan lang.
Sir Xxxxxxx replied to me at 3 am – he has a 4 am flight, that explains why he wasn’t able to respond last night. Very understandable.
I trust that Sir Xxxxxxx and the rest of the school SHALL act on this reasonable concern of ours at the soonest possible time. Teacher Xxxxxx will check this assignment tomorrow and Friday – Dec 1 and 2 – said the instructions. I consistently prohited my son from creating an FB account – and just like your brother, he is afraid he would be reprimanded. Sagot ng nanay: Ako ang sasagot kay Teacher Xxxxxx – because, in reality – SHE has some answering/explaining to do to us. (sorry, i tried to tame by taray character).
I also pray that T. Xxxxxx will see our parents/siblings’ reason for objecting to this assignment. Being a mother herself, (I trust) that she definitely understands what it means to protect children from possible harm, even through the internet. Nanaig lang siguro ang pagkananay na gustong sumuporta sa anak.
And yes – I will propose to her: Can’t we make Grade 3 children make a simple power point presentation? compute numbers using an excel? encode a word document using many functions? These are computer literacy skills which I find VERY needed and relevant both to school and work tasks. Isn’t this the real reason why we give children assignments to work on?
And guess what – I will ‘like’ her daughter after encoding this. If only to show T. Xxxxxx, as a mother, I also want my daughter to win any contest – for as long as she deserves it. And yes, I would like to befriend T. Xxxxxx because she’s another mother. Yun lang, walang halong sipsipan, dahil alam kong head-on/confrontative approach na ako dito – sunod sunod na to, may nauna pa kasi dito…
I still defend the good reputation of the school where my son and your brother are in. The NORMAL human lapses we see every now and then are forgiveable – even correctable – and I vouch for the school administration’s positive action on parents’ reasonable concerns. Walang halong sipsipan, I reiterate – for they know, I am in PTA, and I am known to be like you – to very vocal about issues I feel should be raised, especially when it affects our beloved children.
Tama ka, pag hindi inilabas, naguusok talaga tayo – in my case, both blood pressure and sugar significantly go up.
Please join me – I will set an appointment with Sir Xxxxxxx this coming Friday. We can’t go tomorrow because we need to give him time to dialogue with T. Xxxxxx – besides, let’s follow protocol. We don’t just barge in, my friend. We set an appointment through the boys (use the student handbook, there are spaces for letter writing there), then we see each other (with genuine smiles on our faces) as we appeal for remedial action on this assignment.
Thank you again. God bless.
Thank you Mrs. Mendoza, I’ll be there on Friday. I only got to read the letter at around 10pm last night and I was trying to reach the school this morning but no one was answering.
Stage mother si Teacher Xxxxxx. Parang si Annabelle Rama lang.
So her kid is Rofa? Swakto, beauty queen din si Rofa di ba?
thanks for making us aware of this. the admin will do something about this case. – XXX Admin
Thank you sister, I am an alumna of the institution myself and as per Mrs. Mendoza, we’ll go there on Friday.
Today is Bonifacio Day, a nonworking holiday, kaya sarado ang school. May MTAP lang kaya math teachers lang at selected students (kasama ang anak ko) ang nandun ngayon. See you on Friday. thanks.
Hahaha. My brother is also there today Mrs. Mendoza kaya akala ko may admin staff present.
*facepalm*
Ditto.
ay ang bongga lang ni mam!!!
pak na pakkk!
I knooooow, pwede pang-comic strip?
Praised be Jesus, Mary & Joseph!
Good afternoon!
This is Teacher Xxxxxx Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, the computer teacher you are all pertaining to. I have read all your comments and honestly right now, my hands are shaking while typing this. I was informed of all of these thru a phone call earlier by the school admin. I don’t know what to say! First and foremost to the sister of David, all the parents of the Grade 3 level, and the XXX Admin, I am humbly SORRY. I was not expecting and thinking that it would turn out like this. I admit that what I did was wrong, giving a mandatory assignment like what is stated in the small sheet of paper. But truly my intentions are good. I would only want the students to learn how to follow directions by giving these instructions and at the same time getting their votes so my daughter could win in that category of the pageant.
Wala pong halong malisya at inisip ko na if wala silang facebook account (nakalagay po sa paper na please make your own account) ay i-guide po sila ng parents nila na kung hindi sila payagan na gumawa ng facebook account (kasi po I am aware na 18 years old and above ang pwede) ay ipapagamit na lang ang FB account ng parents nila para magawa po ang assignment. Nakalagay po graded kasi first, para gawin nila (and yes naging mandatory po dahil sa statement na yon) and second para hindi masayang yung time nung bata and even yung parents sa paggawa. Ang bearing lang po nun sa grade ng student ay under sa Behavior Rubric – Doing assignments. But its not my intention to teach the students wrongdoings. Kahit po ang anak ko na kasali sa pageant ay hindi po marunong magfacebook, dahil alam ko po na hindi pa fitted sa kanya ung site. Ako lang po ang gumawa ng account nya para lang maiboto ang sarili nya.
Now, I realize na mali po pala ang mga naisip ko. Hindi ko po talaga naisip na magiging negative ang dating nung assignment sa papel at pati ung mga comments ko sa facebook (like yung “magic yan” at “magmamagic pa ako para dumami pa votes”. Hindi ko akalain na magiging ganun ang dating. Ang ibig sabihin lang po sana nun ay “magic, bigla dumami kasi I asked the support of my students by giving it as an assignment and a hands-on activity.” Ang inisip ko lang ay humingi ng support sa students subalit hindi nga lang naging maganda ang dating kasi mali po ang naging paraan ko. Inaamin ko po yon. Nanaig masyado ang pagiging nanay na gustong manalo ang anak kaysa sa pagiging teacher.
Kaya po sa lahat ng makakabasa especially sa sister ni David, sa lahat ng Grade 3 parents, XXX School Administration, Mrs. Mendoza at sa lahat ng nag-comment, THANK YOU sa inyong lahat and I accept my fault. Ngayon lang po ito nangyari at hindi ako naging maingat at hindi naisip na unahin ang kapakanan ng bata bago ang sarili. I promise po na hindi na ito mauulit at sana huwag pong mawala ang tiwala ninyo sa school. Ako lang po ang nagkamali at hindi ang school. This will serve as a very big lesson for me as a teacher, a parent and as a person.
I am ready po na harapin kayo tomorrow or friday kung gusto nyo po ako lahat kausapin personally dahil yun po ang mas maganda. Ginawan ko lang po muna ng paraan as soon as nung tinawagan ako about this para po hindi masira ang tingin ninyo sa school at maipalawanag ko ang side ko ng maayos kaya po ako nagpost ng comment ngayon.
Again Thank You po sa inyong lahat and I’m Sorry!
Kay Ms. Panda Ellis, I know I’m not in the position to ask this very big favor pero kung ok lang sana na idelete ung link about this blog para hindi na mabasa ng iba hindi para sa aking kapakanan pero para sa Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx at sa Pageant fanpage kasi ayoko na silang madamay sa maling actions kong ito. I really don’t know how I could make it up to all of you kasi I cannot undo what I did, I know the damage has been done and I think all I can do is to apologize for it. But if you have any suggestions (gaya ng kay Mrs. Mendoza, thank you po sa mga suggestions about assignments) as long as I can do it and its all for the good of the school.
And lastly, to all grade 3 parents, huwag nyo na pong gawin ung assignment. Mali po talaga ang assignment na yon. At pagkatapos po ng lahat na ito na nangyari, ok lang po sa akin kung matalo po ang anak ko sa pageant, but still as a mother I will give my support and love for her. But surely, hindi na po sa maling paraan. Sana po maging convincing at positive po ang kalabasan ng comment kong ito.
With all respect and humility,
Xxxxxx Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxx
Ang taas pa naman ng tingin ko sa mga guro, lalo na dito sa Pilipinas. Kahit anong “sorry” gawin mo, sa huli’t huli, napaka-unprofessional at unethical ng ginawa mo.
“Sana po maging convincing at positive po ang kalabasan ng comment kong ito.”
Sorry, you failed.
Tao lang talaga tayo nagkakamali. But let’s please call a spade, a spade. After all you were willing to admit this was a grave mistake (yes, since you are a teacher who should be teaching the right values, for me, this was indeed a grave mistake). So telling everybody your intention was to test your students’ ability to follow instructions is just a lame excuse. It all the more highlights the fact that you exercised poor judgment because even this statement is wrong on all counts.
I also commend mrs mendoza for keeping her cool despite what happened. I habe three children, my eldest is a thrd yr high school student and i have had countless encounters with teachers and principals for mistakes they committed. My point is, only when we voice out our objections in an objective way would our children also learn about humility, integrity, and fairness.
And ms. Ellis, when did you change your name?
Wala pong halong malisya at inisip ko na if wala silang facebook account (nakalagay po sa paper na please make your own account) ay i-guide po sila ng parents nila na kung hindi sila payagan na gumawa ng facebook account (kasi po I am aware na 18 years old and above ang pwede) ay ipapagamit na lang ang FB account ng parents nila para magawa po ang assignment.
Are you serious??? FB is age-restricted for a reason, and yet you asked your students to sign up for one for your personal gain. It doesn’t matter whether or not the parents will be around to help them. The children who don’t have parents to help will figure this out on their own and realize that lying to get into websites (even pornographic ones) isn’t that hard. The children who have parents to help them out will realize that they can get away with lying as long as it’s for an assignment. It won’t take long for them to fake assignments to satisfy whatever want they may have.
Nakalagay po graded kasi first, para gawin nila (and yes naging mandatory po dahil sa statement na yon) and second para hindi masayang yung time nung bata and even yung parents sa paggawa. Ang bearing lang po nun sa grade ng student ay under sa Behavior Rubric – Doing assignment
But the assignment has nothing to do with their education and everything to do with your selfish motives.
And making the children make FB accounts is a waste of their time to begin with!
puro ka dada. TANGGALIN MO KAYA YUNG ENTRY NG ANAK MO SA PAGE NA YON?
Have this post deleted? Ugh, as if (Silverstone, 1995)!
That said — and since we’re in the business of protecting kids here — can we have the kid’s picture and name blurred at the very least? Minor din yan like your brother, friend. Hindi rin naman choice nung bata kung ganyan ang ginagawa ng iba para manalo siya sa pageant.
i commend the actions made by the author towards the assigment. a very responsible sister.
IMO, nagkamali po talaga si Mrs. Xxxxxxxx. Kahit po ako, parang uminit din yung ulo ko nung mabasa tong blog post na ito. Mali po talaga in the first place. Pero inamin rin naman po niya yung kasalanan niya at humingi rin ng tawad. Napahiya rin po siya dahil dito at i think, that’s enough na as justice.
i think my right to privacy rin naman po si Mrs. Xxxxxxxx, pati yung school at most esp. yung anak niya. Kahit di po ito madelete, sana naman po, kahit i-censor manlng yung mga pangalan at mukha ng mga nakalagay sa post na to. suggeston ko lng ko kase my mga minors na involve eh.
you don’t even let your daughter use facebook app and you thought of asking your students to go for that assignment? what was your reason to not let your daughter use facebook yet you let your students do so? not-so-deserving-2nd parent..
#1. dapat automatic disqualified na ang anak mo sa pageant na yan.
#2. alam mo palang mali ang ginawa mo. e bat mo ginawa? nung pinaplano mo pa lang yan, hindi mo naisip na mali yun? nung tinatype mo yung assignment at piniprint mo, hindi mo naisip na mali yun? siguradong hindi. dahil ang inisip mo lang e manalo ang anak mo sa kahit anong paraan. wala kang pakialam na tinatake advantage mo ang mga estudyante mo.
#3. sorryhin mo ang mukha mo. walang magagawa ang sorry mo. dapat sayo ay magresign. hindi katanggap tanggap ang sorry lang sa isang mali na sinadya mong gawin,
#4. kung hindi ka man magreresign, wala ka ng karapatan magturo sa mga estudyante mo. isa kang ehemplo ng pagsunod sa mga rules. excuse mo na ang assignment mo ay para magturo ng pagsunod s directions? tanga ka. dapat sa mga estudyante mo e wag na sumunod sa kahit anong ipagawa mo at wala kang karapatang pigilan sila dahil ikaw mismo ang nagpakita na okay lang gumawa ng mali… basta magsorry na lang pagnahuli ka na.
#5. oo isang “pagkakamali” lang yan pero napakalaki ng repercussions nyan at marami ang apektado. marami ring bagay ang nakaugnay diyan. sigurado akong hindi lang yan ang unang pagkakataon na gumawa ka ng ganyan, ang paggamit ng posisyon mo bilang teacher para pasunudin ang estudyante mo sa bagay na gusto mo na wala namang kaugnayan sa edukasyon. di ka na dapat pagkatiwalaan.
#6. gawa ka ng facebook page na humihingi ng tawad sa mali mo tapos bigyan mo ng assignment ang mga estudyante mo na ilike ang page na yun. lagay mo dun na pag naka100 na likes, magpapakamatay ka.
Please disregard the comment of “galit sa mga bobong teacher.” It’s merely ad hominem.
please disregard Funny’s comment. it’s merely moronic.
“magic, bigla dumami kasi I asked the support of my students by giving it as an assignment and a hands-on activity.”
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Upon perusing your so called printed assignment sheet you clearly DID NOT ASK FOR SUPPORT.. YOU FORCED THE KIDS TO VOTE!!
well, you’re excuses are so LAAAAAAAME!!! So full of BULL! do not think that we are stupid to believe that you did not have any bad intentions because you did…
Oh, and the votes you involuntarily got should not be counted as Valid votes. It should not be considered as Valid “Likes” because it turned out to be that the kids were forced to “like” what they may not even like.
tanginamo. kulang ka sa bugbog.
Oh dear god, puh-lease. We must all be responsible for the things we do. You’ve made your bed, deal with it. This blog should not be deleted.
Oh my! hahahaha. Teacher you seemed to be stage mother huh? WTF..
Ouch! Tsk, tsk, tsk. Nakakatakot na may printed instructions pa on how to do it. A 9 year old kid will never be able to decipher between doing what is wrong and what is right. Pano kaya kung instructions to on how create a bomb or something like that? Don’t ever take down this post. She maybe sorry and you can forgive but you have a point on this issue and it has to be heard.
Good thing the teacher did acknowledge herself that the “assignment” was entireeeeely wrong.
God bless her and you, too, Panda Ellis. Lol.
Very very wrong!
Third graders should be playing taguan, patintero, or monkey monkey anabelle. haha! I know that some children are already using facebook though they are below 18, but I always discourage them. For me, third graders are still too young for facebook.
The intentions is also wrong, nakakadissapoint tuloy ang teacher na iyon. Haist… Sana sinabihan niya nalang ang mga bata na palike sa parents nila ang picture, ganun nalang.
Pero magsaya na tayo, wala ng assignment ang mga kids.
in the first place the teacher’s daughter ang kawawa because i think she don’t even understand what is her mother doing to her,i’m not sure if she is really the one replying or thanking to the comments on her Facebook..secondly, anong parusa ang naghihintay to a teacher like her doing this to her students????
She called you PANDA Hahaha. Mag aapologize na nga lang mali pa.
And oh, DONT DELETE THIS (or whatever link you’ve made). She should learn from this.
Grabe, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx should fire her. #StrongWords, I know, but if someone like her teaches your brother, nakakatakot ok. The school should really look into this/ not let go of this issue easily.
viva ze panda! tama, wala nang burahan. marami nang nabuntis, namatay, nahulog, napraning at nalugi dahil sa “right intentions”, pero madalas kasi it’s never enough. isa lang siyang ina, nagmamahal, nagpapakasakit at marunong gumamit ng pezbuk alright pero wala siyang karapatan dumihan ang utak ng kanyang mga studyante. lahat nasabi na so i’d just like to say hi to panda. coffee before january!
Woah! This incident definitely shows that the problem in the education system of our country is so deeply rooted that even the teachers themselves are lacking in proper training. Then again, maybe this is also just a question of lacking morality issues of individuals. However you look at it, this is definitely wrong. The use of her authority as a teacher to pursue personal interests is definitely a no-no. If this can happen in a private school, then I can only imagine the other problems a public school might have. Tsk tsk.
“At pagkatapos po ng lahat na ito na nangyari, ok lang po sa akin kung matalo po ang anak ko sa pageant, but still as a mother I will give my support and love for her.”
ibang klase ka talaga teacher. wag ka na magpakaimpokrito. yan pa rin concern mo sa huli.. ang manalo ang anak mo. good day.
tama!!! hahaha.
Oh no! Read this blog via fb post, shared link from a friend. dyan pa naman plan mag-transfer ng brother ko next school year. tsk tsk. Hope di personalin ng teacher ung student involved. Most of the teachers kasi gaganti sa grades ng bata (based on experience). huwag sana ganun.
Arigatouanime, don’t worry about your brother entering Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, ‘coz I can vouch on the school’s good reputation. I have still two children who are studying at Xxxxx Xxxxxxx now, my eldest graduated last year, and so far, their teachers are doing excellent job until now. This incident doesn’t happen all the time, actually, this happen only now. Definitely, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx will take an action on this and their action will be for the benefit of the students…
Pasensiya na pero sa palagay ko di naman siguro ganun ang teacher, gaganti dahil lang may na gawang mali ang magaaral,,siguro sa aking palagay di na dapat ilagay ang picture ng bata ,kung sakaling ang batang ito ay naging kapatid mo?matutuwa ka ba na pinaguusapan siya dito?di ba kayo naaawa sa bata makikita pa ng ibang tao ,paguusapan siya,saka nagka problema din ako dati sa anak ko sa school ng xxx pero di ko naman kinailangang ibroadcast dito,sumulat ako sa principal, at ang bilis ng action nila,kaya .sasamantalahin ko na rin ang pag kakataon na ito na mag pasalamat sa kanila,3rd yr college na po siya ngayon.di dahil nag kamali ang teacher malilimutan na natin ang magandang nagawa nila.
Don’t be bullied, Ayla.
Keep this post. Even if the teacher is sorry and has accepted responsibility for her actions, you don’t owe her anything. I can’t believe she has the balls to ask you to delete this blog entry, as if that would erase her sins.
If this entry would be a blight to the school institution she is part of, then so be it. You didn’t lie. In fact, you exposed a very serious wrongdoing, something that if went unpunished would have serious effects to the kids.
She must accept the consequences of her actions. I hope the pageant that her child entered in be informed of this, as well. I have no compassion for teachers who would use the impressionable minds of their students to further their selfish, personal interests.
Agreed
Ate alam ko galit ka, pero kawawa naman si Xxxxxxxx. Sana picture na lang ni Ma’am Xxxxxxxx yung isinama mo sa post.
It’s not Ayla’s fault that Xxxxxxxx’s picture is there. Her mom (the teacher) was the one who chose to exploit her daughter in the first place.
yes i agree sana di napost yung pic nung bata…
it’s okay to post the photo as long as the face of the child would at least be censored i guess
I-blur na lang yung picture ng bata. Hay Mrs. Xxxxxxxx, for all this time you don’t know how hard I try to prevent my stepkids from using Facebook because it gets in the way of their studies, exposes them to various kinds of stuff they do not have to go through yet, but there you are, teaching your pupils to use Facebook.
Your head was shadowed by greed when you gave that assignment. Poor daughter, she cannot be proud of her mom.
Oh my…it reminds me when my child was in Grade 3 although it’s not facebook…it’s a different thing but the feeling I can relate really.
Corruption even at the lowest state. This is the reason why I wanted/needed an older brother or sister. Hey Ayla, you supported your baby brother well. Keep it up. Fighting!
*piece of paper
T. Xxxxxx was my teacher in grade school and she was one of the kindest, most courteous, and most excellent teachers I had then. She doesn’t deserve to be judged so hastily like what most of you are doing now.
hindi naman sya ijujudge kung wala syang ginawang mali diba? Wag mong sabihing hindi ka pa nangjudge ng tao na nagkamali…
regardless of how kind she is, the action, as she admitted, was still wrong.
my point pointed out!
Her mistake doesn’t justify the public destruction of her character, which she has built by honest means throughout her career as a grade school teacher. The consequences are for her employers to decide.
We’re not judging Mrs. Xxxxxxxx per se, but what is the kind of character that reflected in her actions when she gave out that homework to her pupils?
Let this be a lesson for all of us here, including you. Ayla, it’s nice to know that there are people like you who stand up for what they believe in. Mrs. Xxxxxxxx, you might want to consider attending classes in Responsible Parenting and Professional Ethics. You so very need that.
What?! If such a pitiful and startling incident happens even at the lowest rungs of education, then what state would we be in in the future? Ano na, bayaran na para lang manalo sa pageant? Extreme, I know. But how can one help but think of extreme things and situations kung grade-3 pupils ang damay at elementary school teacher (supposedly our earliest “second parents”) ang implicated?
Hayy. The world has gone crazy.
Just get him the fuck off that school. Problem solved.
ui. wrong grammar
excuse me but the school is not the problem,it’s the teacher! XXX is a very good school…
when my brother had a problem with a teacher before…the school took action… getting him out of the school will not solve the problem…
mas tanga ka pa sa teacher eh.
do not delete ur blog!she should learn lesson from her stupidity!
Good job. Keep up the good work.
bakit ganun? pwede naman sa school na kagad why make an issue in the internet? sinama mo pa name ng XXX.
Because people should be aware. Kaya nasa net.
eh bat kelangan pa ilagay yung name ng school?
problema na ng school yan kung bat sila nadamay. atleast may chance na patalsikin nila ung teacher dahil sa shame na nabigay niya. at baket, do you have an authority na makailam kay ms. ayla about sa pinost niya? blog niya to and so be it. palibhasa kase baka hindi mo nararamdaman , nararamdaman ni ms. ayla ngayon.
@nuresako: so parents who have kids from Xxxxx Xxxxxxx will be aware of the situation..? Yep.
But this is damaging to the school’s reputation. Isn’t this, in a way, defamation of sorts?
@former student- absolutely true! very damaging to the school’s reputation! In order to make things right so that it will never happen again, the school must get rid with this kind of teacher, the best way is to fire her.
sang teacher lang gumawa ng kasalanan hindi ang buong school, alam nila yan, kaya kahit kasama ang name ng school okay lang… assignment mo ba yan? ipagtanggol ang gumawa ng mali?
it’s her own blog. she has every right to post this. if it spreads all over the internet, it’s just because of other people who saw this, who are genuinely concerned for the kids’ education. other people just make this issue bigger
The woman did this a teacher of said school, therefore, it is inevitable for the school’s name to be dragged into this. It makes sense, doesn’t it? If an employee does something unethical to a client, the client will perceive it as the fault of the company, not the fault of just one person. It’s unfair but true.
@Former student, now in college: Actually, by definition, what Miss Ellis did is not defamation. The blog entry does not present a false misrepresentation of the person or the school. She criticized the teacher, but not the school. It was just taken as if it was the case. Although there are good teachers there, one spoiled apple does spoil the rest of the barrel — which is why we must be extra careful as to not to harm the reputation of our workplace. The teacher agreed to uphold the school’s reputation and honour when she agreed to teach in the school. She made a mistake, but she should have been aware what that mistake can cost beforehand. She is educated, and therefore, should have known better. If she does tarnish the school’s reputation, then she must be reprimanded. If she is reprimanded, then the school’s reputation should not be affected. Why? Well, it’s just the matter that discipline, when given, counteracts the action done. You can say that discipline is the reaction to the teacher’s action. No sensible person would ever think that the school is all “bad” just because of a teacher who made a mistake. If they are, then what’s the use of convincing them otherwise.
To Miss Ellis, I applaud you for getting this story out in the net. You have wisdom and courage beyond the average. If parents agreed to do this assignment, they are idiots. They are part of the 99% of the people who don’t speak up and let themselves be subjected to other people’s persuasion. You on the other hand, are part of the 1%. I hope you don’t delete this blog, because it serves as a lesson for many. My best wishes to you and to everyone who would speak up against this. I shall definitely share this story with everyone I know.
why would she omit the name of the school? it’s a good thing for others who would want to know the truth. they can call the school and make follow ups or clarify things rather than not know the school and leave the story incomplete.
@nurseako
Like duh! the teacher used the internet in the first place… Who are you to tell Ayla how to deal? This is her blog ,so she can air anything here freely, this is how she chose to express her angst.
And of course the school’s name should be mentioned so all parents will be aware… inappropriate comment there dear..
wow grabe! Naging teacher ko pa naman siya nuung nasa Xxxxx pa ako, nakakainis.
Why shouldn’t the school be mentioned? The article made it pretty clear that the school itself shouldn’t be accused of any wrongdoing, just the teacher.
Oops sorry I meant to reply to nurseako. I don’t know how to delete my comment
goodeve.. I am and Alumni on that particular school and NEVER IN MY LIFE THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN! i was really disappointed to know about this especially I KNOW THE TEACHER! i really didn’t expect that she will do such a thing! it’s not appropriate to use a certain “like” issue to be a Grade 3 Computer Assignment?? sobrang nakakagulat to and i was really alarmed. if its ok, i’ll post this sa mga teachers na friends ko rin on XXX Xxxx para maging aware sila about this… THANKS FOR SHARING..!
…i am “an”
FUCK YOU !
MGA PUTANG iNA Niyong LAHAT ,,/,,
MGA ULOL !
MANAHiMiK KAYO !
ui. may assignment din kay Ma’am ito… Cyberbullying 101!
lol. kamag-anak ka nung teacher no? haha
I think it’s unfair to judge her that way.
what do you mean? the teacher admitted herself that it was wrong. the action was clearly wrong regardless of any intention she might have. and she didn’t say she was judged wrongly, she admitted her fault at least
well, in what ways should she be judged? nangyari na ito sakin kaya lang hindi siya about sa facebook, and I was really young to stand up for myself so I didn’t, because I know what respect means, but if you don’t respect yourself, people won’t respect you too…
I think the assignment should have been, review of social networking sites…
I also think its unfair for a teacher in her position to create this assignment for her grade 3 students (all of 9 years!). These children do not know any better, but she did. She knew about Facebook disallowing anyone under 18 to create an account. She knew that the SOLE purpose of creating the account was just so her precious daughter could get more ‘likes’ and therefore perhaps win. She knew that her previous reputation with the school would protect her from less inquiring parents who want to make sure their child does well in every class. And so she went ahead and created this assignment , which , if you think about it, teaches the children the dual purpose of how to be a cheat, and how to be a liar.
I think it’s unfair that you’re allowed to breathe.
very very wrong! nag comment na rin pala ung teacher dito, pinapatangal ung link ng blog,
Ms. Panda (hahaha, sorry, can’t help it), please don’t delete this post. Maybe you can pixelate the name and the face of her daughter, but keep this post up. It’s starting to get viral, anyway, so it’s useless to delete this. Let this be a reminder for everyone that everything we say and do can be taken against us on the Internet.
i go “Gabriela Silang” rin in times like that. kaya nga when needed i take a leave for a day to attend PTC’s kasi there are teachers who arent really making sense
I don’t see what’s wrong. it’s a free country
wow. This is something new. Sana ginawa na lang nyang bonus point, yung paglike dun sa album ng anak nya, but to make it as a part of a student’s major grade, hmm. medyo grey area yun. masyadong hardsell si Ma’am Teacher. hehe
I’m very disappointed to know that this kind of teacher exists. Such an uneducated person. Ganyan ba yung mga values na natututunan nya as a person, teacher?
Oo naiintindihan namin ung pagsuporta mo sa anak mo, pero ayus ayusin mo naman ung paraan mo, gawin mo sanang tama.
SHAME ON YOU! dinamay mo pa reputasyon ng school. kung ako sayo better na magretire ka muna and just take a break. Baka kailangan mo muna magreflect sa ginawa mo to become a better person, mom, and a teacher . don’t take this as negative comment.
Again, ” Sana po maging convincing at positive po ang kalabasan ng comment kong ito.”
Talk about unethical. This is so pathetic.
This post is all over Facebook, by the way, just in case you didn’t know. My sister checked the page of St. Louie an hour ago, with people commenting tungkol nga sa pagiging mandatory nitong ‘homework’ na ‘to. Lo and behold, I checked it again a few minutes ago, and the comments are gone.
I really have no idea who’s removing the comments, pero dapat ma-disqualify siya because what she did is unacceptable and very low, especially for an educator.
Kudos for being a great sibling. :>
Kudos for your delusional sense of ethical superiority. If your ethics disregards na innocence of a child’s privacy then I can only imagine what kind of variable scale you have.
Actually, at this point, the page is unsearchable. Though I agree that the teacher’s actions are unethical, I believe the situation is coming to a point where things are getting out of hand. And in a matter of HOURS! @_@
Bonifacio Day will never be the same for her again.
sa tingin ko.. mali yung paglalagay mo ng picture ng bata dito.. siyempre some privacy naman.. tsaka, sana pinaalam mo agad ito sa principal para magawan agad ng paraan.. nagkaruon kasi ng negative impact ito sa readers.. hindi naman mali ang school, yung teacher yung mali.. at malay mo hindi naman alam ng school yung plano ng teacher.:)
Hear, hear. Some fine us of one’s noggin’ here.
Remember:An eye for an eye makes the world blind, you fucking self-righteous hypocrites
to pixelate the photo of the child is better siguro.
this was posted in wordpress naman. her own personal blog. it’s not her fault this went viral. and the author didn’t mention this was the school’s fault.
I cant even….Ugh.
facepalm.
And hindi ba alam ng teacher na to na once nagcreate ng fb account yung mga estudyante niya, may possibility na maexplore nila ang ibat ibang games at maadik sila. edi sinira pa ng teacher na to ang pag aaral ng mga estudyante.
Ang sakin lang sana marunong mag isip tong teacher na to ng “Isip na pang teacher talaga”
Dont remove this post! thanks!
So facebook is only a viable tool for games? Maybe for you it is one heckuva productive use of online time.
We’re talking about grade 3 students here mister.
^there are a lot of small children who create fb accounts just to play games. i know some
@hey – very well said!
Where is this data/research/concensus that shows a verified correlation between grade 3 students using facebook only as a tool to waste time with those tacty and shitty games? Facebook is more than that, ideally. It could be a tool a open the minds of these impressionable minds. Children can be guided and if they exploit it as a tool to forget their own academic responsibilities and it is not the child’s fault but the fucking parents who exchanged cells. (Reposted from a wrong thread.Fucking blackberry formatting of websites)
wow. the classic present-me-a-statistical-data counter argument made by fools just to sound smart. all you have to do is go to a computer shop and see kids playing games in fb and some shit. my gf’s 7 year-old brother has an fb account just to play games that teach nothing. IDEALLY yes fb can help nourish children’s minds with its vast array of information BUT WE DON’T LIVE IN AN IDEAL WORLD. we live in the REAL world, where there are a lot of things that are yes informational but aren’t age-appropriate. they’ll learn these things eventually, no need to rush em
chill dude. i just know SOME kids who sign up just to play.
and DUH i know that fb is more than that, but for the kids I KNOW, it’s only for games.
sheesh calm down and stop bitching already.
Where do self-righteous hypocrites whine in an amoral universe? Blogs.
spoken like a true hypocrite.
It’s either you’re a relative, a best friend or a colleague….

Oh you troll with a Blackberry. :p Stop whining.
/whine.
pwede naman po i -UNLIKE ung votes para di na ma-count pa
I think this should’ve been brought to the attention of the school/teacher first before being posted on the Internet for everyone to see. This is embarrassing for both the school and the teacher and any lesson you would have wanted them to learn, you could have imparted to them just as well offline – minus this level of embarassment.
People generally feed on controvervies which violates their subjective moral superiority. In the Philippines, it is a staple source of nutrition.
it’s the author’s own personal blog. she has every right to rant, and most probably, not saying that it’s accurate, that she didn’t mean for this to be viral. of course she was furious, so i understood her action to blog about this.
it will serve as a lesson for others who might attempt to do such things in the future.. think twice..
hayzzz.. ganito na ba talaga ang edukasyon sa Pilipinas… wew..
I have great teachers! Wag naman sanang madamay ang lahat ng teachers sa Pilipinas sa ginawa ng teacher na ito!
tch. walanatalaga! LECHE.
ang baba na ng tingin ng mga taga XXX sa XXX.
fuckthisshit.
Kawawa naman ibang teachers sa mga school na yan! Isa lang ang may gawa, di nman lahat sila!
please.. do not GENERALIZE..
I am a former student of XXX. Don’t be so judgmental. All schools have its own issues to deal with. Graver issues than this one. I KNOW YOU KNOW THIS. Wag kang magmalinis.
hey! XXX alumni ako, pero di mababa tingen ko sa XXX. wag mo lahatin.
Hi! I understand your sentiments but… CAN YOU PLEASE DELETE THE PICTURE OF THE KID IN PINK DRESS? If you think that the assignment was wrong, posting the picture of that child (who probably does not even know that she’s being talked about in this site) can have serious implications with her socio-emotional development and well-being especially if after this post, she is being bullied by almost everyone who have read or heard about your blog.
Yes. There was a mistake. But let us not create a mistake out of another mistake. And if your university taught you to speak up if you think there’s something wrong, I might as well do it. Thank you.
Well of course there was a huge mistake here. The mistake that delusions produce when moral beliefs are tested.
Can you not judge the teacher only from this wrong thing she had committed. She admitted her mistakes and was asking for an apology. She was my teacher back then, and yes, i agree from what a former student of hers said, she was really a kind and excellent teacher. So stop giving unjust judgments.
As you said “she was really a kind and excellent teacher.” How come that she went down to this level?
Because she’s human.
very unprofessional.
the author did not in any way judge the teacher, only the people in the comment section judge her. (if we’re on the same page)
I have a suggestion for you:
Read a fucking book. Put some knowledge in that withered little husk you call a brain before you express your asinine opinion.
Her apology was obviously half-assed. She expressed her remorse unconvincingly. And she even attempted to defend her actions.
It is human nature to judge. And when it comes to exploiting children, the rabble will gladly rip the guilty to shreds.
I am a former student of XXX and T.Xxxxxx was one of my teacher before. Up to now, wala pa rin nagbago sa XXX. Kung ano yung iniwan ko yun pa rin pala yung mababalitaan ko. Nakakalungkot lang late niya lang na realize na mali yung homework na binigay niya. To think na grade 3 students pa yung binigyan niya ng ganyang homework. Sana sa umpisa palang, inisip na niya ng mabuti na bata ang bibigyan niya ng ganyang homework at kung titingnan hindi naman talaga related sa school yung pinapagawa niya. Good thing, she apologized on what happened and she is responsible for her action. Sana wag na to maulit, lalo lang nalulugmok yung xxxxx sa di magandang image na meron sila.
we really have to think twice or thrice before we click. choice ko pa naman ang XXX to have my daughter to study there.parang natatakot na tuloy ako.
don’t be maam… its a good school.. i swear… nagkataon lang na nawala sa sarili ung teacher na yan.. but during my time there wala namang issues…
=))
I believe Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx chose the best teachers for the students. Its major concern is for the teachers to mold the students independently, responsibly and with dignity. Its teachers personally would like to address those so they are thinking of possible ways to impart to the students. Along the way, teachers face rocky roads as they try to do their responsibility to the students and to their family.
What the computer teacher did is WRONG!!! But do we have to expose the mistake by making another mistake? The point is, we know how crucial facebook is, it can definitely harm a person. People say, facebook can crush a person’s spirit. And this, definitely is happening right now.
Teachers are not perfect. There are some who judge wrongly, some make wrong decisions ‘coz they are only human beings. We laugh at their mistakes, we argue with them, sometimes put them down, worse call them ‘names’ and spit on them. Teachers can accept all of those, except one thing…CHARACTER ASSASSINATION!
Let’s just imagine how the teacher feel right now. She’s surely sad, apologetic, confused, and worried on what will be her future at XXX after several years of outstanding service to the school.
Let’s imagine how the sister of this grade 3 pupil is feeling right now…Is she happy because she got plenty of ‘back-ups’ on her side? Do they appease her?
We tend to retaliate if we are hit. But sometimes, we have to think and plan on how we do it. Isn’t it right to just see first the teacher or just go to the XXX Administrators to discuss the issue rather than broadcast it at the ‘you called, bad facebook’ where people (many of them are not involve in the issue) give ‘bitter’ comments?
The biggest paradox of this issue is…we are pointing our fingers at the mistake of the computer teacher on giving wrong assignment, but we do not know that some people are pointing their fingers at us too for making wrong decision and taking wrong action.
Let’s ponder on this.
at least the author posted this on her wordpress. it’s her own personal blog after all. the mistake was spreading all of this in facebook by readers of this blog
Mukhang 5% lang naman ang FB likes ah. For the teacher, hone your daughter’s talents instead. 20% yun oh. Tapos, paggastusan mo na lang sa sports at formal attire. Tig-15% din yun. Grr you!
THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE! eto na consequence ng pagkakamali nung teacher. Karapatan ni Ms. Panda ang magpost ng ganito dahil BLOG NIYA TO and THIS IS A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY.
Agree! wala kayo karapatan para ipatanggal tong post na to.. This is her blog and so be it! gawa kayo ng blog niyo kung gusto niyo
true! and people should not blame the author for ranting in her own personal site. come on guys, it’s on wordpress, not facebook.
This is why I despise contests requiring the highest number of likes to win. I hate how it works.
Please don’t remove this yet. People should be aware of this. Let it spread.
… to the entire world. Everyone should know.
I really don’t know how to say this but the teacher already apologized. For me, you have to delete this blog or at least stop mentioning names. If you want to protect your brother from harm, others have something to protect too. Retain the story but please remove names and pictures. I am not connected in any way to the teacher or to the school you’ve been talking about – but I think you too are causing serious damage to the parties involved.
You know that there was a mistake with the homework, and I am pretty sure that you too know that there is something with this post that is starting to make all of these wrong.
There is something severely wrong with your grammar. It’s wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
I want to cause serious damage to your stupid face.
This issue is spreading like wildfire in facebook! Don’t underestimate the power social media. I won’t be surprised if this issue will be picked up by the big networks and be turned into a huge spectacle in the news.
The thing is, some Filipino netizens can be very judgmental and unforgiving when it comes to matters like this. Marami talagang mahilig makisawsaw (including me admittedly). So I advise some members of these “mobs” to not jump into hasty generalizations without hearing the other side of the story.
I suggest the maker of this blog to filter out the comments kasi medyo below the belt na ang comments ng ibang mga sawsawero and sawsaweras. Parang kinuyog na rin ng taong-bayan itong si computer teacher.
But in the end, I applaud the blogger for raising this matter to the public.
unfortunately, somebody should request for disqualification. exploitation ito at hindi na fair competition.
at ginawa pang homework ang paglike sa page. ok lang kung mag-uusap sa facebook tungkol sa studies but by liking somebody else’s picture in exchange of a grade, that crosses the line.
lose-lose situation for both parties ito.
pasensya kung maooffend pero ito talaga ang pananaw ko after reading the entry.
hi blogger,
maaari po bang humingi ng konting pabor? pwede po ba paki-gawin mo na lang blurred yung mukha ng bata na anak nung teacher? wala po siyang kinalaman sa pagkakamali ng magulang niya, at dahil sa nangyaring ito, naaawa lang ako at nakapost ang picture niya kahit inosente siya.
salamat po.
people will just go to facebook and find the picture.. same banana…
Could someone post this blog or the blog’s link on the wall of the competition! so that it won’t be unfair to other contestants especially to their parents na ginagawa ang lahat unlike this teacher na binigay lang as assignment, as in walang kalaban laban ung iba kung di nagcomplain si ms. ayla. Kudos for you!
The kid (in the picture) doesn’t deserve such attention and humiliation. Yes, her mother made a mistake but that doesn’t mean she also needs to suffer. Sana kahit blinurr mo nalang mukha niya, miss. Oo, i understand na pinagtatanggol mo lang yung welfare ng kapatid mo, pero sa tingin mo ba wala kang sinagasaang ibang tao? lalo na bata sa ginawa mo? Pwede ka rin kasing mademanda sa ginawa mong exploitation sa bata.
Ona, mali na nanay. Pero kailangan idamay pati anak? Ikaw, ijudge ka kaya ng maraming tao sa ginawa mong pag exploit sa bata?
Kung talagang concern ka sa welfare ng mga “bata”, you should’ve considered Xxxxxxxx’s part.
Thought you should know.
At sa lahat ng nagcocomment na puro dada, maging fair naman kayo sa bata. What the hell is wrong with you people?
Mainly their feeble media-driven opinions forming a collective “truth”. Argumentum ad populum aka appeal to majority.
TO THE TEACHER:
since you admit your wrong actions, can you please tell again to your students to UNLIKE your daughter’s photo para hindi sya ma count, kasi hanggat naka LIKE un mabibilang yun, you still have time until dec.2 10pm pa naman ang voting.
ajh bsta BLOG NIYA TO!!!! khit ano pwede!!! >:)) at mali ung teacher un lng… :
I agree with everyone here that what the teacher did is entirely wrong, but I do also think that there is something bigger that should be taken into account. As Facebook users we get a lot of messages asking us to show our support by clicking on the like button for everything, from products we like to contests that try to calibrate popular support and the perpetual money votes types of beauty pageants. Why do we even subject our kids to that kind of exploitation? Why do we subject not only ourselves but even our children to the like button, entirely without their knowing, so much that we’re willing to breach professional ethics for it? At Grade 3, we should be teaching our kids better values, and not teaching them that Facebook or joining the bandwagon is everything, or that this kind of approval in its diluted, solicited form like a Facebook like is the benchmark of who these kids are. We especially should not be coercing these kids into places or situations where they can be particularly vulnerable – not online, unsupervised, and not on a site where a mother would never allow her own daughter to go. Above everything, we should not, at such a young age, subject our kids to everything that’s out there on the web by virtue of a photo, that can be easily be used, abused or exploited now or any other time in the future. These kids deserve better than that.
tama na i blurred na lang kasi hindi lang ung bata ang na exposed pati ung page kawawa naman community org lang un. walang sweldo ung mga un at voluntaryo lang.
ano ba matututunan ng bata sa pag gawa ng fb at pag like ng page at pagboto sa candidate?
Although I understand and admire your love and concern for your baby brother and his well being, I think that choosing to blog about the matter in a very detailed manner was uncalled for. As some have already pointed out, including the child’s name and picture was not necessary. Actually, even naming the teacher and the school, I see no point in doing so except to publicly humiliate and degrade the said parties.
The issue is how a person of authority used innocent children for her personal interest, made more appalling by the fact that the said act was committed by a teacher, a child’s second parent. I, too, was disturbed by the incident but I feel like people are saying how unethical the actions of the teachers were yet as always we fail to look at our own actions. Isn’t it also unethical to call the teacher out in a very public venue such as the internet?
Yes, her actions were wrong in so many ways but I don’t think there’s an age limit for cyber bullying, which is what is being done to her right now, You have the freedom to express your feelings and opinions but it shouldn’t be at the expense of other people’s lives. I just wonder how this is affecting her and her family right now. Should be really taking a toll on her as she even shamelessly asked you to put this down.
You want people to be aware of incidents like this, and I thank you for doing so. But as I’ve said, maybe there are more considerate ways to do it. Blog about the incident, but kindly leave out the persons involved. I don’t think it would have been hard to contact the teacher personally as well as the school administration, raise the issue/concern to them and settle things among yourselves.
I feel sorry for everyone involved.
“Isn’t it also unethical to call the teacher out in a very public venue such as the internet?”
No, it’s not. In fact, it is the correct thing to do. Why must we suppress the truth? So that this so-called teacher can save face? She deserved to be called out on her wrong and malicious actions. If Ayla didn’t have the courage to do this, who will?
Why are you feeling sorry for someone who knew right from the start that she’s doing something wrong? This is not just an honest mistake. This teacher’s plan was glaringly obvious – to use her position as an “educator” solely for her own interest.
This blog post’s purpose is not to humiliate the person in question, but rather to bring to light the kind of education that the Filipino children are getting today. Parents are paying tons of money to secure a good future for their kids and what do this children learn in return – how to vote for someone else’s kid on Facebook?
If we should feel sorry for anyone, it should be for her students. They deserve a better education that what she gives them.
And excuse me, cyber bullying? Bullies are people who treat others wrongly for no reason at all. Ayla simply shared her opinions on a story that actually happened and called out this teacher’s wrong actions using a tool that she knows she can always rely on – the Internet. She didn’t just make up some bullshit fantasy so she can humiliate someone else.
Also, even if she didn’t include the name and picture of the teacher’s child, a quick search on Facebook would have made these information readily available. Because you know what? This teacher chose to post her daughter’s picture on a public Facebook page in the first place.
Is it the correct thing to do? So we should all go around blogging about everyone’s wrong actions and subject them to public castigation? Now that would be so much fun.
I’ve nothing against Ms. Ellis’ post (since she already removed the children’s photos) but I do feel that the commotion it stirred up especially the personal attacks on the teacher was unforeseenly blown out of proportion.
I am feeling sorry for the teacher and her daughter but also for her young and exploited students. I think I clearly stated that. I just believe that everyone should be responsible and critical regarding the things they post on the ever-accessible internet.
I commented in the picture. I think everyone reading this should comment as well. We should move to have that entry disqualified. She doesn’t deserve to be called a teacher.
Comments here separate the dumb ones from the critical ones. Closed minds from the open ones, and the heartless ones to the kind ones. HAHA LOL
Yes, blogs are haven of personal opinions. But as a responsible blogger, I think you should also be aware & radical about your entries. Just saying.
+1
True.
AGREE.
so you can blog about anything and she can’t? talk about repressing someone else’s opinion. This particular entry has caught the eye of many many people, and for better but MOSTLY for worse, has gone completely viral. Changing or blurring out the picture will not stop inquiring minds with Facebook accounts into searching out the unedited picture.
If you don’t like her “radical” entries, then stop reading her blog.

akoy isang dating estudyante ng XXX at nalulungkot ako na may mga ganitong klaseng aktibidad na nagyayari sa paaralan kung saan ako lumaki at hinubog ng mga magagaling na guro.
kay Ms. Blogger, akoy natutuwa sa iyong katapangan at pagmamahal sa iyong kapatid. wag kang makinig sa mga taong bumabatikos sayo na may kamalian kang nagawa dahil karapatan mo na ihayag ang iyong pananaw sa SARILI MONG WEBSITE at sa paaralan at guro na nabanggit dahil ang pamilya mo ay nagbabayad ng malaki para sa edukasyon! hindi sa mga ganitong klaseng bagay na walang kuwenta (pag la-like ng facebook page). ginawa mo lang ang nararapat at tulad ngang sabi ng iba, may demokrasya tayo dito sa Pilipinas lalo na dito sa INTERNET na ipahayag ang nasa saloobin natin.
Ngayon na nagkaroon na ng pansin ang iyong post at kumontak na sa iyo ang gurong iyong tinutukoy, para sa akin ay mukhang mas maganda kung mai-blur mo na ang mukha ng anak ng gurong iyon para sa kaniyang proteksyon. (ngunit huwag mong tanggalin ang post na) dahil ito ay isang ehemplo ng mga kabataan na tumanggi sa mga bagay na di nararapat . Lalo na sa XXX kung saan alam naman natin na may iilang mga guro na napatalsik dahil sa mga mabigat na rason.
Kay Binibining Xxxxxx, ngayon po na naisip niyo na isang malaking pagkakamali ang iyong nagawa, nawa’y hindi na po ito maulit dahil iba na ang mga bata ngayon.Mas matatalino at matatapang na sila kumpara sa mga henerasyon na nauna ninyong hawakan. sa pangyayaring ito, naway walang maging “bias” sa pag ga-grado niyo sa kapatid ni ms.blogger lalo na’t alam na ng buong Pilipinas ang pangyayaring ito.
ang pagpapatanggal ng post na ito ay hindi solusyon para mawala ang mga negatibong pagtingin sa inyo at ng paaralan. ito ay ang consequence ng inyong ginawa at dahil dito,
maraming tao na ang may mababang pagtingin sa paaralang inyong pinapasukan lalong lalo na sa mga kawawang estudyante ng paaralang ito.
Sa pamunuuan ng paaralang ito, namaway magsilbi itong aral sa pag subaybay sa inyong mga guro. Marami na akong nalalaman na napatanggal sa XXX dahil sa mas malalalang dahilan at masuwerte kayo na noon ay di pa ganun ka -accessible ang internet.
Did you actually complain to the school or take steps to ensure this wouldn’t happen again?
(Sorry if you’ve already mentioned it above, I hadn’t had time to go through all the responses.)
the assignment i believe was given nov. 29. her brother asked for her help yesterday nov. 30. she can’t complain yet because it was holiday yesterday and it’s unearthly hour right now.
people make mistake but i think it is wrong that we define them by a single mistake they made.
she acknowledge her mistakes and ask for an apology,it won’t undo the harm but it’s a step.right?
let’s just all learn from this one.
I acknowledge the fact that you have a poor grasp of the subject-verb agreement.
Learn from this. Read more.
SLPWCI was already aware of this and brought to the board of directors about the issue, rest assured that we will be fair in resolving this case. and the case was already brought also to the admin of school, we should leave it to them.
thank you.
Sana gumamit ka ng alias blur the pictures. Kawawa naman kasi yung bata.
errr … damage is done … so wag na palawakin … everybody commits mistakes … but don’t they have the right to change?? don’t they deserve to have a second chance ??? enough of this and that … she admits … so chill na tau … you people should set a good legacy for all the young … pero kung ipapakita nyo pa toh sa mga bata … mas malala pa ung pinakita nyong attitude kesa dun sa teacher na nagtake advantage …
just don’t add fuel to the fire …
thank you
maling-mali na gamitin ang mga estudyante sa sariling pakinabang. hindi ko nagustuhan ang nabasa ko. lalo na, napakabata nung student. grade 3.
inpernesz leading ang anak ni teacher… 326 boats as op 11pm, closest rival has 291 boats.
yung sa boys klos payt… 67-65-55 =))
I think you were not mistaken when you blogged this with all the details. When that teacher made that assignment, she should have thought it over: I am a teacher. You can’t type and print then hand out assignments without thinking them over. By the way, that teacher KNOWS what she is doing. She deletes all comments regarding this blog.
As for not including the picture and names, the readers of this blog would have seen the entry anyway if they checked the page, no? The information here also gives us a head up about this contest, baka may magshare pa nyan sa page natin tapos i-Like natin without knowing na sya pala ang nasa blog na ito, baka natulungan pa nating manalo ang mandaraya. Yes, this is cheating because the teacher gave the students only two options: vote for my daughter OR get no points for your assignment.
As for the blogger, don’t take this down. You clearly presented facts and commented on it without making assumptions, merely observations. I suggest that you report this to the school officials. It would be BS if they say that this is out of their hands.
Sana ung mga nagcocomment at gumagamit ng maling salita sa mga comments nila ay talagang involved sa issue. Goodness. Yan ang hirap sa isang problema, lumalaki pag maraming sumasawsaw.
PS. The blog post is helpful and bold, hands down to that, yet No one has the right to judge anyone.
AND HINDI KO ASSIGNMENT YAN JUST IN CASE NA MAY MAGCOMMENT NUN SA COMMENT KO.
F.Y.I sya din ADMIN nung page wahahaha sya nagdedelete nung mga bad comments lol
really pathetic, but let’s just let her clean her own mess. this blog’s enough to let the world know what she’s done.
yari nga lang kapag napansin to ng international publications such as huffington post. mahilig sila sa mga ganitong topics. *facepalm*
sana naman hindi ito ginagawa lang ng blogger para sumikat ang kanyang blog ha. i mean cmon, mapaguusapan na naman this week di ba? you’ve got what you need. pinatitigil na ng teacher ang assignment, nag-apologize na. what more pa ba ang gusto mo? niddrag mo pa yung picture nung anak here. nung una kong nabasa tong blog entry mo, naiinis din ako sa teacher, but after ko maread yung mahabang comment nya and nag-apologize. who are we para magmataas pa at hindi patawarin yung teacher? dont you guys believe in second chances? like what the teacher said, ngayon lang nangyari sa kanya yun. may testimony pa here from a former student. tapos one mistake lang, and she’s almost dead na sa mga horrible comments ng karamihan here. hanga din naman talaga ako sa mga ugali ng PInoy no? Nakalugmok na nga, inamin na pagkakamali, wala namang sinaktan, di naman nakapatay ng tao, nag-apologize na nga, ididiin pa rin pababa. damn. ano ba gusto nyo gawin nung teacher? magpakamatay? jeez.
“sana naman hindi ito ginagawa lang ng blogger para sumikat ang kanyang blog ha.”\
thats the most immature speculation ive seen in this whole conversation. try to think “deeply” pls
oh yeah? have you seen saylala/panda’s twitter? pinapatanggal na ng mom nya ang blog post nyang ito, pero wala go pa rin. kasi nga popular na ang blog nya. well.. eventually, people will forget this issue as well as this blog. sige go lang, lasapin ang current popularity. haha.
this is very true. what more can we ask for from the teacher? come on, she already accepted her fault and yeah, who are we to not accept her apology? tao rin tayo nagkakamali, and if you could say na wala kang pagkakamali, hindi ba kasalanan ang mag judge? i agree to your post Ms. Alexandra.
at least somebody here agrees with me. there’s still hope for us. lol @Gab
“sana naman hindi ito ginagawa lang ng blogger para sumikat ang kanyang blog ha.”
Wow. That statement alone says a lot about you.
kung may kasalanan po yung teacher panagutin na lang…pero wag na po sana natin idamay yung anak nya…kawawa yung bata..wala naman tong kinlaman sa ginawa ng nanay nya…and di din nya gusto tong mga nangyayari
wag din po sana natin lahatin mga teachers sa xxx…hindi naman po porque nagkamali ang isang teacher ganun na po yung iba…
Even 9gag users have the decency to blur out pictures and names. Just saying
thats 9gag and supposed to be used in humor-related post but this is serious business not just any other nonesense stuff like 9gag
Was talking about the people who have nothing to do with the incident. Like seriously, the pictures of all those kids? And besides, no matter how serious or nonsensical the post might be, it is actually illegal to post pictures without the consent of the people who are in it. That’s why they are blurred, not because of the message of the posts themselves.
Tell that to the admin of the Facebook page. That page is open to the public. It is not private domain, hence it is not illegal.
Oh wait, admin of that Facebook page IS ALSO the teacher. I guess she isn’t very protective of he daughter’s privacy as well.
Actually it is, if you take it (photo you do not own) and post it somewhere else. Photo credits.
The teacher may be fired and the blogger may be sued..
thats a very exaggerated post. i cant see any violation of the Philippine constitution in this situation.
Sued for? It’s not libel. There’s evidence of what was done. Defamation perhaps? But the blogger didn’t bad mouth the teacher, some of those who commented formed speculations by themselves.
Sa nagcomment about this blog looking for some attention/fame, SERIOUSLY? One can’t control who posts links, these things randomly spread on social networks. If this was some tsismis, malamang for fame nga. Pero totoo, hindi ba? Ayan ebidensya.
Siguro nga dapat i-filter na lang muna ang comments for this specific entry para hindi tuloy tuloy ang ratsada ng iba.
blogger may be sued? why? all posted by the blogger are for evidence purposes. if she had not uploaded the pictures of the evidence, would we see it if we search it? i guess no because the fanpage is now deactivated..
what a dumb ass.
This post should not be deleted. While it highlights an embarrassment for the school and a grave mistake of the teacher, it is a lesson that we should all learn from and share to others so this does not happen again. Pardon my comparison, but this really feels like vote buying to me. I hope that teachers or anyone who holds authority would never do something like this again as it is an unethical and irresponsible abuse of power.
I do, however, concede that some names and pictures on the screenshots should be appropriately censored. This is after all not meant to affect certain anonymous parties.
Mrs. Xxxxxxxx is not related to SLPWCI kaya hindi po sya ang ADMIN ng page.
why is your fanpage deleted or cannot be viewed? your fanpage was still visible 10mins ago.
agree omgee.
lol dinelete pa yung page. baka raw ma-flood ng comments. sayang naman i-like ko pa sana yung 2nd picture. just kidding. i will not
A mother letting her kid join a pageant that is all about superficiality already tells you a picture of what kind of mother that woman is.
AND MY GOD! THE WAY SHE WROTE HER “APOLOGY” … HOW JOLOGS!
She might as well let her child join Willing Willie and gyrate like Jan Jan since that is what Jologs do,.
It’s funny how you have already conclusively stated what kind of mother she is just by the mere fact that she entered her child in a contest and apologized for the mistake she did with her students. Your ad hominem isn’t appreciated.
and now the FB page disappeared like a bubble
) baka yung teacher nagpasimuno nung “people’s choice award” dahil alam niyang maiuutos niya sa mga studyante niya ang paglike ng photo ng anak niya.
You have the right to say whatever you want to say Ms. blogger. I understand your point. And you have made your point. The administrators are already working on it and the teacher already apologized. But think about the “generalization idea” the readers have thought about the school. It is not the school’s fault. Think about the humiliation, the fear and the loss of self respect the teacher is feeling at the moment. What she did was WRONG, but at least tell the administrators first. I commend you for standing up for your brother and I don’t blame you for putting this in a blog.. But, knowing the severity and the shame it is causing to the persons involved, you must at least drop down names and take the kiddo’s photo. Or delete this, as it is causing such a chaos. It is viral all over Facebook and the names, pictures and school involved are being dragged in wrong angles.
God bless us all.
pati ung pic ng ibang bata nasama pa, sa post nya
Once again, with feelings…
1) This is the blogger’s PERSONAL blog. She can do whatever she wants.
2) The reason this went viral is not because of her but because of concerned people who re-posted this…duh.
3) Even if this blogger blurred the face of the kid…someone as angered as me will try to find the FB page and see the photo.
4) Read the blog again. She never made any generalizations. The readers and those who commented here did.
5) Why castigate the blogger for something that is OBVIOUSLY, OBVIOUSLY WRONG??
6) READ THE BLOG AGAIN…The blogger tried to reach the school.
7) Like you said :”The administrators are already working on it and the teacher already apologized.”….all thanks to this Blog.
I said, knowing the severity of the issue , which is, well, caused by sharing posts in FB, not necessarily linked to the blogger, and the tweets I read from her Twitter, this has gone far. I commended her for standing up for her brother and yes, the teacher was wrong. But, I will say this over and over again– in my opinion, which I have the same right to say- at least drop down names or delete the photos involved. As you said, it is the blogger’s personal blog, and YES she can do whatever she wants. BUT if it the cause of humiliation and chaos whirling around FB and Tweeter, then she can at least ACT on it. Responsibly.
* But, if is the
Nothing personal.
The teacher’s action may seem so wrong for you, but isn’t it so unprofessional on your part to divulge issues like this in the internet and unsympathetically mention the teacher’s name that might endure into something that can ruin her life? see how some people have been treated like Christopher Lao?… you should have told the teacher first than doing this blog. can’t you just settle things in a good way? WALA KAYONG PINAGIBA.
“the University that ate went to taught her to speak up when she thinks that something is wrong.” conceitedness….ikumpara ba ang university sa isang grade school level? wiw
how impulsive and over reacting…. facebook likes lang e dba? haha katawa….ikaw na matalino! go! haha
She should have been informed..
I think we came from the same University, but the issue has gone so wrong in many ways.
“how impulsive and over reacting…. facebook likes lang e dba? haha katawa….ikaw na matalino! go! haha”
you see, facebook is restricted to a certain age. for other parents, they make it a point that their kids would not access facebook app at a very early age. even if it was just for facebook likes, you still violate rules by the Facebook and by the family as well.
SO PARA SA IYO, OKAY LANG GAGUHIN ANG MGA BATA?? TUTAL ‘LIKES’ LANG NAMAN DI BA?? EDUKASYON BA YUN??
SO PARA SA IYO, OKAY LANG GAWING MGA UTO-UTO ANG MGA BATA SA PAMAMAGITAN NG ASSIGNMENTS??? GAGO KA PALA PARA ISIPIN NA NAKAKATAWA MAGING CONCERNED PARA SA KABATAAN.
SAAN KA BA NAG-ARAL LECHE KA.
** But, if it is the cause..
Nothing personal.
wawa naman yung bata…after 10 years…makikita nya to tsk tsk
all thanks to the kid’s mother who is also a supposed “teacher”.
Epic..
Sikat na ang xxxxx pati sa FB. AT SA KUNG SAAN SAAN PA.
Good intentions ruined by irresponsible speculators.
para sa guro: NASA HULI ANG PAG-SISISI
sana perpekto ka para sabihin yan..
at sana wala kang maling nagawa na syang pagsisihan mo din sa huli..
para sa kapwa kong guro na nagkamali – matuto sana tayo sa pagkakamaling ito..
para may-ari ng blog na ito – karapatan mo ang ipahayag ang sarili mong opinyon, pero sana naisip mo din muna kung paanong makaka sira ka naman din ng reputasyon ng iba..sana sa pagkikita ninyo sa byernes ay maisa ayos ang kung ano pang maaaring ayusin..
sa mga nagkokomento tungkol sa “mga guro” na katulad ni Gng na nagkamali – wag nyo naman lahatin..
sa mga taong konektado s paaralang nabanggit – alam natin kung anong galing ang pwede pa ninyong ipakita, lahat ng tao at organisasyon ay may mga sariling suliranin..
sa mga nandadamay pa ng hindi na dapat idamay – itigil nyo na yan.. may pasok pa mamaya..
Ms. Panda, naunawaan na ang opinion mo as a sister, but as a sister siguro hindi mo rin gugustuhin na maging usap usapan at ma-bully ang brother mo?
kaya po sana PAKI-BLURRED or PAKI TANGGAL na lang UNG PICTURE NUNG BATA…
sa bata lang Ms. Panda maawa ka =/
this is so wrong..
This is depressing. Poor third-graders.
checked saylala/panda’s twitter (https://twitter.com/#!/saylala), she said: “Waw, the sisters talked to my mom and my mom’s asking me to delete my blog entry. Waw. Make your own blog, there’s nothing wrong with mine.”
okay since most of you here are very opinionated, i’ll air my own. lol.
what most of you don’t know, this saylala/panda is also a kid who wants attention. it’s her moment! LOL. being an iska, i know how this certain types of iska think. believe me. it’ll make panda famous for a little while. maybe she needed this. and most of us are being tools now for her popularity. hahaha.
You, ma’am, put the ‘licious’ in ‘malicious’.
come on. the teacher was verrryyyyy wrong. on so many levels. period. it’s not the blogger’s fault. pano sya matututo kung walang manggugulat sa kanya? ano ba? kaya walang asenso ang edukasyon sa pinas e!
lol! nakikisawsaw ka na nga lang. naninira ka pa
) and sa ginagawa mo pati twitter niya pinapasikat mo. Such a pathetic opinion.
Wow. So do you really expect us to believe that she’s merely trying to hog the spotlight just because you “know how this (THESE kasi yun) certain types of iska think”?
You’re clueless. Go home.
@stefan: look at the other comments, lahat naman malicious na.
@kids-first: try reading the teacher’s comment first. nag-apologize na nga eh at itinutuwid na ang mali. read it again if you missed it.
@lol: at bakit lahat naman tayo dito nakikisawsaw ah. haha. im giving panda what she wants. POPULARITY. lol
siguro ikaw naman yung type ng iska na tanga o hindi marunong mag-isip. napaka hina ng opinyon mo. maling-mali yung pinagawa nung teacher, sinulat niya sa blog niya, may nakapansin, kinalat, attention seeker na siya bigla?
at Hello, wordpress ito, kung gusto kong sumikat, magpapasikat ako sa facebook, youtube o sa twitter. gaano ba karaming Pilipino ang may wordpress compared sa facebook, youtube at twitter.
alexandra, isa kang mababaw na iska. mababaw! =)))
Well, mas lalong malisyosa ka. Look at you, trying to paint a bad picture of the blogger to discredit her and the point of this entry. Real classy. O baka naman dahil you want the spotlight for yourself?
Also, just because she apologized doesn’t mean she’s off the hook. Mag-isip ka nga.
Nakakahiya ka. Kapwa-iska pa naman yata kita.
Well said, Joseph Tan.
Now, going back to the blog…what’s wrong is wrong. Teacher is wrong, parent blogged about it in her personal blog. Concerned people shared her blog and it went viral. Yun lang yun.
stop over analyzing. her main motive is her concern for her brother. she believes in what she believes in, so she doesn’t want to delete the post. let’s just all leave the blog and let the situation be.
oo nga pala. Ate Alexandra, try mong i-blog yang hinaing mo. malay mo sumikat, if I know, gusto mo ding SUMIKAT! pangalan mo pa lang artistahin na, pwede kang kontrabida! Alex ang babaeng Ahas! oha! =))
problema kasi sa ibang isko/iska masyadong matataas ang tingin sa sarili. ayaw papatalo. ang opinion ay isang opinion. learn to respect it. at wag kayong makikitid ang utak. hindi porket classmate nyo or kaibigan nyo eh ipagtatanggol nyo na. hindi ba kayo nahahabag dun sa teacher at bata? ano ba ang maidudulot na mabuti nito kay panda aber? syempre kasikatan. broaden your thinking mga dudes.
Joseph Tan, grow up kid.
haaay grow up KIDSSS!
Hindi ito usapin ng opinyon. Usapin ito ng responsibilidad at ng kawalan nito. Ngayon kung kumalat ang entry na ito at sumikat, hindi niya na kasalanan yun. Siguro kaya kumalat ay dahil maraming naka-relate at naka-experience ng ganitong klaseng corruption. Ang tanging point ng blog entry na ito ay para maging VIGILANT ang mga tao para sa mga kaanak nilang nag-aaral—hindi para magpasikat.
Ngayon, kung hindi mo pa rin nakikita kung ano ang mali sa ginawa ng teacher, at kung hindi mo pa rin kayang linawin ang punto mo, ewan ko na lang sa ‘yo.
@comeon: yeah but panda’s message to the teacher have already came across. they are putting an action for this issue she has raised. the teacher and even her mom were asking for her to delete the blog entry. what’s there to hold on to?
sobrang dami nang issues sa country natin. bukasm nasa headline na naman to. sobrang dadami pa ang opinionated na mga tao at bata. this blog entry attracts all the negativity kasi. tingnan mo ang daming nag-aaway-away dito.
alexandra
stop telling people to grow up because regardless of what age you are, you’ll always act like a kid at one point.
and stop being a hypocrite. you’re already ONLY limiting the author’s behavior due to her need for “popularity” wherein there are other factors for her actions. sheesh.
@stefan, basahin mo na lang yung first comment ko. ayoko na pahabain ang diskusyon ko with you.
ate mas nahahabag ako sa iyo. isipin mo yun para sumikat ka niresearch mo pa si blogger at binasa mo pa ang nasa twitter niya? PASIKAT!
makikitid ang utak, edi ikaw na ang maluwang. puno ng hangin.
Yes, thank you, gusto ko ding lumaki. I’m gonna grow up someday, at sana hindi ako maging katulad mo pag lumaki ako =))) pumapatol sa mga comments para mapagtanggol ang sarili — “problema kasi sa ibang isko/iska masyadong matataas ang tingin sa sarili. ayaw papatalo. ” – Alexandra
“ano ba ang maidudulot na mabuti nito kay panda aber? syempre kasikatan. broaden your thinking mga dudes.” ano bang maidudulot sa’yo ng pagcomment dito? KASIKATAN!
patulan mo pa ako sige lang =)))
Suuuuure, I’ll just take your word for it since you “know how THIS certain types of iska think.”
Stefan, perfect ka teh? bawal magkamali? now i understand kung bakit ganyan ka kagalit dun sa teacher. perfectionist ka kasi teh. sana lang perfect din ang pagmumukha mo ha. lukatchu! lol
Joseph Tan, bawal magsabi ng opinion? ano ba yang pinagrereply nyo sa kin? hindi ba’t opinion nyo din tungkol sa akin yan?
@comeon: that growing up statement isn’t meant for you. of course there are other factors for her actions. and we all are aware na it’s being dealt with. cmon, don’t you think that a broadcast communication student wouldn’t want something like this popularity on her blog? it’s all clear to me. she’s being hard-headed because she wants this to go viral for her own sake. sadly, this won’t be doing her much good at all.
yung aking pang-g@g@go lang eh. na pilit mong pinapatulan. sarap. sige patol pa.
wag mong kainin sarili mong sinasabi ang opinion ay isang opinion. learn to respect it. at wag nang pumatol pa. kasi mabubusog na ako.
oh wait, alam mo pala ata mga klase ng isko at iska e. sige eto, anong klase isko ako. research mo din pangalan ko sa facebook ha. para sumikat ako :*
At dahil barado ka na at alam mong wala ka nang masabing tama, bigla kang babanat ng “perfect ka, ‘teh?” Apologetic ka, ‘teh?
As a matter of fact, yes. Well, at least I’m closer to perfect than you’ll ever be.
@Joseph Tan ay bakit? kaklase nyo nga ba? haha.
di ko siya kilala ate. pero sana pasikatin mo din ako. gusto ko ding sumikat e. gagawa ako ng blog tapos kontrahin mo. hanap ka ng mali. ha!
tulog muna ako. bukas na lang ulit. may mga trabaho pa ako e. buti ka pa wala kang trabaho. kasi walang kumukuha sa mga bobong tao e. kahit iska pa. night. sweet dreams :* :*
Stefan: wow. ganda mo teh. look at the mirror muna ha.
-snow white =))
hayy i can’t believe pinapatulan ko ang mga itey. feels weird to be a kid again. =)) okay bed time kids. panda has issued her clarifications for her blog post.
goodnight Joseph Tan, sana mapanaginipan mo ako.
Talaga. Mas maganda sa ‘yo.
dear, i think you went to the wrong university.
let me guess… degree program with empty slots?
sorry but, i don’t think that legitimate iskas would stand in the same line of thinking as yours. grow up, sister. or better yet, transfer schools.
ung kapitbahay ko din nagpaturo nang ganyan. tsk tsk!!! gingamit ang mga estudyantee!!!!
Alam mo teh, pag tinype ko yung “St. Louie Phase Women’s Club, Inc.” sa search box, yung post mo na yung lumalabas.
This is all kinds of wrong.
Also, LOL sa mga nagtatanggol kay teacher. I’m sure you wouldn’t say the same things kung binentahan ng yema at tocino ang mga anak niyo para sa grades. Siyempre, wala namang naganap na actual bayaran dito sa pagpapa-like ng entry, but you get my drift.
agree.
oo nga e…i agree! i dont think nag-mamatalino si ellis. pero kung may utak ka at mas importante, kung may dignidad ka at respeto sa pagiging guro mo…di mo to gagawin. walang kahit anong magandang nangyari or “good intention” and teacher na to…why? kasi plain and simple, she USED her students! for what? a beauty pageant for her child? e dun palang mali na e! kelan pa naging OKAY ang isali mo sa ganitong contest and munting anak mo? hello! ano ba? di naman debate to e. kung ganito ang pag-iisip ng isang guro….di sya dapat maging guro!!!! please! nakakasira ka sa propesyon namin!
Tapos dahil nag-apologize lang si madam, she’s suddenly off the hook? Bigyan daw ng second chance, tutal okey naman daw ang intentions, blah blah blah.
At assuming na maganda nga ang hangarin ng teacher, sabi nga nila, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” But yeah, NO JUDGMENT THERE.
I agree, though, that the daughter’s picture should have been blurred.
makibaka!
GTFO, clueless passivist.
As per your repeatedly turning down your brother’s request for a Facebook account, I totally agree. My baby brother is 11 years old (grade 5) and though a lot of his classmates are already on Facebook, I refuse to make him an account (though I know he’s already perfectly capable of making an account of his own if he wanted to). Children their age already have accounts in gaming websites which we as older siblings are far more responsible in monitoring than our parents who are not as adept to navigating cyberspace. At least these websites limit interaction and are relatively safer for kids. Facebook and other social networking sites are an entirely different matter. I’m often disappointed to see my baby cousins and the children of some of my older friends on Facebook because even though I know they use it mostly just for the games, they’re easily reachable by deviants who could easily pollute their minds or harm them. I salute you in your efforts, I hope there are more Ates/Kuyas like us who personally take responsibility for the upbringing of our younger siblings.
And with regards to the said teacher’s actions, I totally agree as well. I don’t think one has to expound more on the matter of why she was wrong.
But I agree. At least blur the kid’s face and name, she’s innocent in all this.
I had a sort of similar experience like this. It has something to do with the high school students of Makati High School (a public school) and one teacher who is a part of this choir I will not mention the name of, but it happened at the Philam Life Theater in United Nations, Manila.
First of all, the organizers of the event released more tickets than the allowed sitting capacity of the venue. The place was packed-full of people. I thought, “Wow, daming suporta” pero later on found out that one choir member of this particular choir made it mandatory for her students to attend the event. If you know Makati High School, there’s more than 10 sections per year, and each section holds more than 40 students at a time. “Suporta pwersa”.
Number one, these are public school students. The ticket was P500/head (or, if they did gave the kids discount, it’s still going to be a problem since most of the parents of these kids are stretching finances just to make ends meet). Second, to make “her concert” a requirement for her students is just plain “profiteering”. Even if she was a private school teacher, I think it is still wrong.
I sincerely hope the guys at DepEd/CHE do something to these kinds of teachers/educators. These people are responsible for molding the future of our country. I wouldn’t be surprised if when these kids grow up, what they’ll be enjoying is yet another f*cked up system.
@awan: do you understand what the teacher is trying to do? She is using her job at the expense of her students for personal motives. And that alone is a cause for shame, should be called out, corrected so that other abusive teachers, employees will learn from this huge mistake. Remember that the teachers help provide the foundation of a child’s development & if the foundation is weak, crooked then how do you expect our nation to be a great one? This may not be the first & she may not be the only one but let this serve as a lesson.
Hmmm… Even us religious brothers are taught to use the net (particularly Facebook) properly.
With regards to this “Teacher” Xxxxxx, I would like to say that this is a mirror of the quality of educators that we have. Back then during the 70′s we have good teachers who are really qualified to mold minds, hears and souls. Now, we are getting people like her who only passed the LET to alleviate poverty (or some other petty reason like that). I am an educator, and we have been taught that the end of a teacher is not to alleviate one’s poverty, but to teach and mold the souls entrusted to you.
Coming from a Religios Brother/Educator, I think may pag-asa pa rin sa ating mga guro.
Now, we are getting people like her who only passed the LET to alleviate poverty (or some other petty reason like that).
Wala po akong kilalang guro na yumaman sa pagtuturo. So nasaan po ang “alleviate poverty” dun?
Brother, hindi po lahat ng nag LET e last choice na nila yun.. medyo contradicting pa statement mo kasi sabi mo may pag-asa pa din sa mga guro..
ano po ba talaga?
Iba na pala xxxxx kase sa dati. Kahit rin yung mga kapatid ko na nagaaral dyan ngayon e kung ano anong projects yung pinapagawa which is irrelevant to the lessons. Tapos puro contributions pa na kung ano-ano. Hindi naman lahat ng nag-aaral sa xxx mayaman e. (off-topic)
Anyway, hindi nmn tama na ifire agad c t. xxxxxx. Mababait naman lahat ng teachers diyan e at kaya nilang itama yung mga mali nila. Dapat lang talaga na regulated ng mga principals yung mga pinapagawa sa mga teachers.
PS.
sana po ipixelated po yung picture ng bata. wala naman siyang kinalaman dito e.
yep. agree to lala.
Personally, I suggest that you edit this post if you choose not to delete it. Although this blog entry has its own merits on pointing out the lack of professional judgement and how others will learn from it, I don’t think that you should extend your complaint to something that would cause personal harm, defamation and/or prejudice. Alongside with this post is a destruction of years of creating goodwill on the school’s image just because of a simple lapse of judgement.
I think I speak for all of the readers that the task given is inappropriate as social networking sites shouldn’t be used in the classroom setting in the elementary level but I have to say that your action or your means to tackle the problem also poses unprofessionalism on your part.
I just hope that you find it in your heart, if reason can’t convince you at all, that inclusion of the picture and the name is inappropriate in this post and that you make appropriate measures to correct them. And I do hope you realize that there is still a chain of command for every situation in which you can always resort to a personal talk with the teacher concerned and not posting it online which [I'm sure that you're aware] will reach hundreds of people in an instant.
I do believe that the names of the people who supported Mrs. Xxxxxx on the screenshot should be censored. However, I disagree with your statement regarding her “means to tackle the problem also poses unprofessionalism on your part.” First and foremost, this is a blog – a form of expression. I do not think she was trying to be professional about it. She was just sharing a piece of her mind.
On a side note,
Ayla, don’t be bullied. You have done nothing but raise the awareness of the people. Take care of yourself!
Wow, how many have suggested to at least blur the pictures and the names of the innocent parties involved? Especially the child’s, whose picture is the main logo while this is being shared in FB. And yet here we still are. Maybe the author should learn to be less spontaneous and use her brains first before posting. Quick to post, but not quick to edit?
Listen people: FB or WordPress, it doesn’t matter, as long as it’s public it will be freely seen by people. Sure, we are free to post anything, but with freedom comes responsibility. If you don’t know that yet, maybe we needed more computer ethics classes?
Yes, I also am mad at this teacher because she did a stupid wrong thing. Although it’s one thing to voice out a grievous error so you can protect your baby brother, but at the expense of the privacy of another minor? Now that’s just irresponsible.
What the teacher did is very wrong and your anger is understandable. However, your retaliation is just as wrong, and may even be libelous. Libel exists when there is a malicious imputation of any act tending to cause the dishonor of a person which is published, whether the act be real or imaginary. Hate to be the devil’s advocate here, but publishing this is a little reckless. There are other channels through which you could have addressed your concerns.
this “lol” dude’s too much. haha
PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ THIS FIRST BEFORE EVERYTHING ELSE:
Hello! I randomly saw your site since it was shared by my friends in fb.. And HELL YEAH. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU SAID… SERIOUSLY.
but you shouldve erased the name of the teacher. Use photoshop or paint, perhaps?
Go let the whole world know what she have done wrong pero wag naman yung name niya at kung sino siya. It’s a way of respect din for the other party. Uso kasi cyber-bullying eh. For sure, a lot people hate her now for what she have done. But let us not forget that she’s also human, and all humans deserve respect. 
Good luck with your brother’s case!
The people commenting here in this blog just wants to humiliate the person. Sasabihin unprofessional, stupid, dumb and etc. Nag sorry na nga yung tao eh hindi pa ba enough yun?. People make mistakes bakit hindi niyo na lang tangapin yung apology niya and move on.
I agree on what you all guys had said in this post. it’s right that what the teacher did is so unethical and she should learn her lessons or advise her to undergo trainings or seminars about ethical issues in teaching and using of computers and the internet like what you all pertaining for. and yes it is right that the author of this blog has all the rights to posts anything she wants but please think twice or thrice. we’re living in the democratic country and we have all the freedom to say and posts whatever we what even if it can damage the reputation of a person just for a second. there is a saying that it takes a lifetime to build a good reputation but it takes a seconds to damage it by spreading to the internet. naiintindihan ko nararamdaman mo kahit ako din magagalit at maguusok din ilong ko. at naiintindihan kita kasi gusto mo ituro sa kapatid mo yung mga natutunan mong values at ayaw mo siya mapahamak at ayaw mo din na matutunan yung mga bagay na hindi pa niya dapat matutunan pa. pero sana hindi mo pinost yung picture nung anak ng teacher ng kapatid mo kasi siya yung kawawa. biktima din siya at walang kaalam alam sa mga nangyayari tulad din ng kapatid mo. minor siya kaya hindi pinapakita mukha niya sa kung ano mang social networking sites, blogs and websites. kung ang media censored ang face ng mga minors dito pa kaya. kung tutuusin implement din yung limitations natin as a person na nakatira sa isang democratic country. lahat ng bagay may limitations kaya sana naisip mo man lang yun. kaya ang mabuting gawin is to complain to the school first. gagawa naman yung admin ng school ng actions regarding to this issues para hindi na lumaki pa ng ganito. oo tama kayong lahat na mali yung teacher at dapat tiruan ng lesson pero nag apologize na siya at inadmit niya ang pagkakamali niya. yun nga lang talaga the damage has been done so sana wag na natin dagdagan yung damage na nagawa niya sa inyo man, sa school o sa family niya. sana wag niyo masamain itong post ko. thank you
I loved how one blogger called it. “Anatomy of a Disaster: Grade-school style” Very creative ha.
And this blog post is also a disaster waiting to happen. Actually it’s already happening–all over Facebook, baby!
Oh this is so gonna be in the news tomorrow.
Thanks for dragging the name of the school. Ktnxbye.
Well, at least thanks to the blogger, an educator’s stupid selfishness is exposed.
I guess the people commenting here doesn’t even have any remorse or pity for the person.
read my comments above. we still exist in this world! lol
Accidental or Inherent stupidity…failed to realize the mistake….stepped on a landmine….kaboom….irreparable damages….I suggest lie low for a while (for the teacher and her daughter) to avoid attention….Tama talaga…”maliit na butas lumalaki”….ang nakakainis naman kasi…..bakit di man lang sumagi sa isip ni ma’am yung implikasyon ng gagawin nya…..blinded by passion? bakit kaya….di ata masyadong nakaprocess yung info sa brain….”ay makapagawa nga nito para manalo anak ko…hitting two birds with one stone!”….ayun tumigil na dun yung thinking…..or totally noob si ma’am sa social networking?
The damage has been done… On my own opinion kawawa ung student na involved dito, natapakan ang moral at ego ni teacher na bonggang magpalike lol, syempre kanino sya gaganti? Nde nmn pedeng sa sister sympre gaganti yan kay STUDENT. Gagawa yan ng paraan para ibana ung grades diba? Nakakaalarm ang isyu na ito kelangan talaga ng formal action. Better ireport natin sa achool admin or mas better if sa DepEd lol hahaha… But then its good that the teacher involved already clarify all these things, she also admit her mistakesssssss hahaha… Un lang tapos na ang aking speech hahaha..
Nagmamahal,
Na ang bigas sa palengke! Bow!!!!
Teacher facebook good night
I think that you should have talked with the said teacher before posting/blogging, this might be overblown by our OA media by tomorrow
i think that’s what she wants.
a broadcast comm student from UP? duh. haha
That would’ve been a very bad move, Ron. Maging sino at ano ka man, hindi mo naman siguro gugustuhing makapaghanda ang kalaban mo, di ba?
That’s also what I was thinking. Hindi lang to maaring umabot sa isang daang tao….pwede to magmultiply hanggang sa malaman na ng buong Pilipinas hanggang sa ibang bansa……e hindi pa naman private to…andaming share sa Facebook…..ay naku sabug ang kinabukasan…..sana may makasuggest dito kung panu matulungan ang teacher…..kung madismiss man siya, sana hanggang dun nalang yun….kung pati reputasyon mo sira, palagay mo maka-apply ka pa ng trabaho sa iba? anu ipapakain mo sa anak mo? (sa kabilang panig muna ako para fair haha)
Be responsible: Both the teacher and the blogger.
@Lelouch
Since most of us can hide behind our web aliases, we can confidently say whatever we want. It’s a different thing if we are talking in a room where all of us are present. Siyempre, gusto naten mukha tayong mabait at understanding at magpaplastikan lang. Free tayo sa internet e, yun nga lang e napapakawalan ang mga halimaw within ourselves. Kung ako lang e, mahirap lang talaga makipagplastikan. Ang sa akin lang, habang tumatagal tong isyu na to ay maaaring mashift ang sympathy sa guro at kanyang anak….Kasi biruin mo parang nangyari ay nagpukpok ka ng pako na kala mo aayos sa bahay mo e nangyari gumuho ang buong barangay niyo.
ikauunlad ba ng PILIPINAS UNG GINAGAWA NIYO?????
THINK ABOUT IT NAGGERS!!!
Hindi. Hindi to nakaka-unlad.
Teachers should be a student’s parent not a student’s nightmare. Period.
Teacher, I know you make mistakes. Everybody does but please, Where is your sincerity in your apology? Stop! just stop all of those lies. Stop making excuses. Don’t even try to explain your actions because no one will believe in you. Why? First, XXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXX is a credible school. I am not a student in that school but I believe it is a good school (I have a bunch of friends who is an alumni in XXX) and therefore, I conclude that using or even creating a Facebook is not in their curriculum. Second, I think….. with all due respect, you should take a break. Your daughter is your priority and not the contest. Try to read your comments. YOUR OWN COMMENTS so that you will realize how desperate you are. You should take a break Teacher. Because, you are a disgrace.
To the blog writer,
Thank you for your courage to tell this to others. But, please cover up the face of the child. She’s purely innocent from her mom’s craziness. Keep up on being an honest writer and a loving sister.
TO THE CRITIQUES:
Chill lang mga dre. Think before you comment in this sensitive issue.
TO ALL OF US:
Please. Don’t think that all of the teachers in today’s generation are like this. They are not. Some teachers work their butt off just to make sure every student will be given the education they deserve. We have a lot of teachers out there whom, I believe are far better than this teacher. Maybe this teacher doesn’t need your respect but, Others teachers do.
Those who commented made the generalization. Reading the blog, I didn’t see any generalization,.
think before commenting? anong gusto mo perpektong comment? baka wala nang mag-comment kapag ganoon. haha. at iba-iba rin talaga tayo kung paano mag-isip. just deal with it.
lalalaki ng lalaki ang issue na to. lalayo ng lalayo sa main issue. mapupunta sa ethics, moral issues, pati showbiz mapupunta, baka bukas nasa TV Patrol na yan.
Everything was very well said. Blog as much as you guys can, perfect people!
If that teacher commits something unthinkable, you’re all gonna be part of the sorry crowd. To the author, next time you post something this controversial, you should use censors. Mala-”The Who?” ang dating para intriguing naman. Give away ka masyado.
Can’t blame an incensed sister for her angry post. It’s like a maternal impulse. If this happened to my kid, I’d be a naming, shaming, blogging dad myself.
Hindi ito showbiz. Bakit mo naman itatago ang ganitong klaseng mga tao? Anong point kung bakit mambibitin? The teacher brought this upon herself. Kung may corruption, sabihin kaagad kung sino at ano. Kaya walang nangyayari sa Pilipinas dahil andaming pinoprotektahan, eh.
Cause it tarnishes the name of my school, that’s why. I don’t care about the teacher’s name. I just wish she censored some of the unnecessary facts.
keep the post..dont delete the teachers name, the school or whatever you want to keep. but PLS do something about the child’s photo… isnt that like child abuse..whoever fault this i
I am surprised to see comments berating the blogger here. ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME?
Saying that it’s terrible for her to blog about this, is just the same as telling the media not to broadcast and write about the former President’s plunder and corruption, and just leave it within the dirty officials of Malacanang to resolve it amongst themselves.
So, following your logic of “keeping things private”, dapat the lawyers should just talk to PGMA personally na lang, and then ask her to please kindly return the money her family stole. Let’s let them settle this internally, since we don’t want other countries think we’re corrupt and evil.
SERIOUSLY?
Think that would work? And if you say that those are two different things, that is not true. This issue of the quality of education 3rd graders are getting CONCERNS US ALL. (After all, it is the quality of YOUR education that has taught you to belittle the value of freedom of speech and transparency!)
And if this is something that does not concern you, or something that you would not want others to know and be aware of so necessary actions can be taken, then we have a bigger problem than we thought! Because then it’s not just about mediocre teachers anymore…
It’ll be about us being afraid to face our own stench.
AMEN TO THAT!
Reviewing the thread alone, halatang iisa or dadalawang tao lang ang nagvi-veer away sa totoong issue. Alam mo na, walang masagot kasi mali talaga ang ginawa niya.
Tsaka siya nga nag-expose sa anak niya. Ngayon, rerekla-reklamo sya? And yung mga sisters, pinapa-pull out pa yung blog post na ito? Sa tingin nila, problem solved na? Mahusay!!!
Kung ako may anak sa eskwelahang yan, matagal ko nang pinatransfer. Sayang bayad, pagla-like lang pala sa Facebook ang batayan ng grades. Bakit pa ako kumakayod araw-araw para lang sa ganyan? Kasama ba sa curriculum yan?
Kaya kami nakikiisa– dahil alam naming mali. Mali ang sistema, pinapalala pa nila by concealing THEIR FAULTS. Mali ang ginawa nung teacher. Mali rin ang knee jerk reaction ng sisters. Mukhang sila ang may kailangan ng dagdag na edukasyon.
We should all learn from this issue. This is what happens when people are ignorant of social exploitation.
To the educator/mother who admits her mistake,
I hope that you will never abuse your power as an educator. Lalong lalo na you are teaching very young students. I am very sure that as a parent, and as a computer teacher, you know very well what’s the down side of social networking. Please do not encourage your young students to use social networking, unless you are sure that they are very well supervised. These children’s minds are like sponges, they believe everything they see and hear. That’s why, we should all instill discipline and provide guidance to these children when using the internet in general, especially social networking.
Another thing, I think you are not thinking clearly Ms. Educator. Why will you post an apology here? Haven’t you learned enough? I wish you are perceptive enough to think things through before you make actions that can jeopardize your career. Don’t you think it’s best to write a formal letter to the parents of the students, instead of reacting here as well? What you did was, you made a deeper hole for you to sink in. So utang na loob teacher, learn the professional way of handling such matters.
To the one who owns this blog,
You have the right to keep this post. I hope every parent will guide their children, as you have guided your brother. Your brother is lucky to have a very supportive sister.
Sana itigil na lang natin ang masasakit na salita sigurado ako may psychological effect ito. Marami ang na-d-depress at ang iba nagpapakamatay sa cyber-bullying. Mali ang ginawa ng titser pero humingi naman ng tawad, desperate move na ang ginawa nya na mag-post dito and to say na she’s shaking while writing is a sign of anxiety, sa pagkakamaling nagawa nya panigurado ako hindi na sya matatahimik, to think na hindi naman grave sin ang ginawa nya. To ms blogger, alam kong may karapatan kang sabihin lahat ng sama ng loob mo at may karapatan ka rin na wag tanggalin ang post, pero sana i-blur mo na lang ang picture at name ng mga tao na nasa image. Nakakatakot at nakakalungkot isipin na ang batang nandyan ay balang araw sisihin nya ang nanay nya sa pagkakamali na nagawa nya. Kung iisipin natin ang litratong nandyan ay magsisilbi sanang memorya ng magandang experience nya nung bata pa sya.
Hayy. pag talaga ang blog sumikat o kaya may maling ibinulalas na kontra sa isang tao o grupo ng tao. laging ino-over analyze. simple lang ang hangarin nilalagyan ng kung anu anong bulaklak. mga Pilipino nga naman.
at syempre hindi nawawala sa comment section ang usapin ng RESPONSIBLE BLOGGING. pero hindi lalaki itong issue na ito kung walang nag-share sa Facebook, tapos pupunta yung mga utaw dito para hanapan ng mali yung blog na ito o kaya kampiha si teacher at napakarami naman gusto pumagitna, sasabihin may mali si Blogger at si Teacher kasi blalalalalala.
paratangan niyo lang ako. kasi totoo naman yan e. LOL
ang mali ay mali at dapat parusahan. wag magpadala sa awa. nung magpakamatay si angelo reyes, nakalimutan na ang mga kasalanan nya. dahil sa awa. kaya ngayon si arroyo panay ang paawa effect at yung mga tanga namang nagpapadala sa awa, panay ang depensa. sus. pilipinas talaga o. have some balls.
mali naman talaga ang teacher
but two wrongs doesn’t make it right.
you don’t stoop down to the scumbag’s level
tama naman na two wrongs dont make a right and you dont stoop down to the scumbag’s level. pero pano naging wrong ang iexpose ang kalokohan ng teacher? at panong naging stooping down to the scumbag’s level yun? stooping down to the scumbag’s level would be kung pagagawain din ni blogger yung anak o kapatid ni teacher ng assignment na kelangan magvote sya sa facebook.
Can you please exercise decency? She doesn’t deserve to be persecuted in public. You don’t have the right to punish her. You’re not a part of the school admin, are you?
you can only say that kasi you are not the teacher. try to be in her situation. i bet you would beg for forgiveness to everyone concerned. sabi nga ni elvis presley, “Don’t criticize what you don’t understand, son. You never walked in that man’s shoes.”
hanep very judger tong si kuya! para san pa yung word na sorry? i mean the teacher has already apologized, at sobrang galing sa puso yun. feeling ko di mo nararamdaman yun. tama yung isang nagcomment.. try to be in her shoes.
ayoko maging mean, pero napakakitid ng utak ng please. she’s been ranting about the teacher’s mistake, pero sya ni hindi nya alam na ilang violations na ang nagawa nya sa blog nya. i mean, human rights written or unwritten is still human rights. nagrereklamo sya saying na minor pa yung kapatid nya, yet sya inexpose nya yung face ng anak ni t. xxxxxx online.
Hindi ba’t si “T. xxxxxx” ang nagexpose sa sarili nyang anak online?
@don’t be mean
so ganon na lang? kalimutan na lang ang ginawa ng teacher na yan? ilihis na lang ang isyu sa pagkatao ng blogger na nagbunyag nito? e kung imassacre ko kaya ang pamilya mo at pag dinemanda mo ko e sabihin ko wag ako ang pagtuunan nyo ng pansin. yang si dont be mean na yan maraming ninakaw na barya yan sa magulang nyan dati e. yun ang mas importante. ako ang biktima dito eeeee.
As you can see, the BLOGGER addressed her blog to the school! Are you blind?? It’s the teacher’s fault and not the school! DO NOT STAIN THE SCHOOL’S REPUTATION. XXX is a very good school.
Better yet, change the title of your blog. I know you are an educated person. You know what is wrong and what is right.
Honestly, while reading through the blog, I agreed with the blogger. However, I felt that she could have handled the situation better. I agree that the teacher should pay for what she’s done but she’s only human. Can you at least talk to her first? It’s really awful that the child’s picture is even there. I believe that it would cause a lot of trauma for that child esp if this gets into the media. As a person who is studying about child development, I believe that the child should be spared from this issue just like how you wanted to protect your brother. I wont pick the side of the teacher because she did make an awful decision of making that as an assignment but PLEASE, at least blur the picture of the child. You don’t even have to delete this post. I just feel bad for the child. I am sure that everyone will feast about this blog but it would not give any justice to you and your brother if the daughter of that teacher will be included in this.
Thank you.
hi BLOGGER,
THANK YOU for what you said: “I will take some of the supporting materials down.”
where did she wrote this?
http://saylala.wordpress.com/2011/12/01/clarifications/#comment-3166
thanks!
after all, wala tayong napalang lahat. Managot na ang dapat managot. Tayo, bilang walang mga kinalaman sa mga pangyayari ay mas mabuti pa na manahimik na lamang. Mali ang teacher managot siya sa paaralan. Ngunit tama na, huwag na natin pahabain pa ang usapan.
Godbless sa lahat na nandito. Sana bukas malamig na lahat ng ulo natin kasabay ng pagkakaroon ng hustisya na nais natin makuha dahil sa kawalang etika na ginawa ng guro.
P.S sa blogger, piece of paper
Hindi peace 
Peace! Goodluck! 
“only human” ay hindi excuse sa paggawa ng mali.
Exactly.
eh kung galit na galit kayo edi kayo na sumugod sa teacher.
)) sabihin niyo yan. 
suportahan namin kayo!:))
SO THE TEACHER ALREADY APOLOGIZED AND SUDDENLY SHE’S OFF THE HOOK. Bigyan daw ng second chance kasi okey naman daw ang intentions, blah blah blah. FYI, usapin ito ng ethics at ng kawalan nito. Kung mag-eechosan lang tayo nang mag-eechosan kagaya ng gusto niyo, walang mangyayari sa Pilipinas. It’s too easy to forgive, but she has to face the consequences of her ineptitude. Corruption should never be tolerated.
And why should the blogger keep mum about the teacher’s identity? Ano ‘to, The Buzz? The point of this entry to give us readers a sense of vigilance. Bakit mo poprotektahan ang ganitong klaseng mga tao?
I LOL @ the trolls who keep posting “kayo na ang tama at perpekto.” How. Apologetic.
Yung bata sana. Yung anak. Hindi yung teacher. Sana man lang yung bata maprotektahan yung identity. Oo nga siguro walang ethics yung teacher pero masasabi mo bang may ethics ka kung pati ibang tao idadamay niyo pa? Lalo na yung bata. Kawawa naman. Sana nagegets niyo. Kasi mali man yung teacher, bata parin yung dinamay. Siya na sisihin wag lang yung bata.
Corruption pa ba tawag dun?
It’s school admin’s job to reprimand her actions, not the whole Philippines’. What she did was not a crime.
koya, di ka na nakaget-over sa usapig corruption ah
@Lea: Pina-blur dapat ang mukha ng daughter. Yung sa kapatid naman ng blogger, sa tingin ko importanteng detalye ang identity niya.
Corrupt pa ring practice ito dahil ginagamit niya ang power niya bilang teacher para sa sarili niyang interes. Wala namang academic merit ito, eh.
@Unjustified: Maybe so, but we still have to be vigilant regarding issues like this.
@.: Eh kasi, koya/’teh, ang ganitong bagay ay corrupt pa rin at dito sa maliliit na bagay nagsisimula ang large scale acts of corruption. Baka matutunan pa ng mga estudyante sa kanya.
Okay so here,
1.) To all them people who are saying over and over again(probably `cause you didn`t read all the comments like I did) to blur the pic and whatnot. Check the time. This post was only here IN THE VERY SAME DAY as you all commented. Stop being whiny bastards that pound on her just `cause she`s not online. I`m sure she’ll realize her mistake and blur the pics and whatnot.
2.) To the former students of the Teacher and the school.
#1: The school’s name being dragged into this isn’t by any fault of the blogger. And imo it isn’t really wrong. Sure it’ll hurt the rep IF people don’t read the article thoroughly, but if people KNOW what this post is all about, it’s not really ’bout the school, but about the teacher instead. And the teacher, being part and a representative of the school to her students and her students’ relatives, friends, etc. is the one at fault for dragging the school into this.
#2: People change, or better yet, as a student, you don’t necessarily see the teacher’s true nature. She’s kind and stuff whatever, but she’s also selfish, as can be seen in her “apology”. This rash and unintelligent decision to make this an assignment shows that she’s slacking off as a teacher, cause a teacher supposedly works on the lesson plans and assignments for hours/nights. It isn’t something that a teacher just decides without thinking. She let her personal intentions get in the way of her job, which incidentally has a big part in forming the child’s future. Maybe during your time she wasn’t, but clearly now she is. I mean she admitted it, she KNEW the age restrictions, but still went on with the assignment. She. in a way, is encouraging her students who’ve lied about their age to continue, and to those who haven’t, to start. And nowhere, I MEAN NOWHERE, in this assignment does it say to get help from parents or whatever. It expressly states “(if you don’t have a Facebook account, please make an account to accomplish this assignment)”
#3: well said actually by the former student, we shouldn’t really judge her hastily. But remember this: 1 wrong can cancel out so many rights. Especially in this case, ’cause the gravity of the situation is too much(Grade 3? come on. she knew what she was doing, she just didn’t think about it, and as a teacher, you should never let that happen)
3.) Great blog post, don’t delete it. I however agree tho to blur whatever needs to be blurred. I understand that in a fit of anger and frustration while you were doing this, you must not have thought of the consequence of the uncensored pic. Still well done Ms. Ellis. Also this becoming viral isn’t even your fault. it was the readers’ fault mainly.
4.) To the teacher: Nobody is convinced with your apology, especially with how you ended it. Make amends for what you did, and this isn’t being hypocritical, I pay for my faults. And like almost any other, you must too. And face it, this blog shouldn’t be deleted. just edited to save your daughter from bullying or what.
WELL SAID.
Ditto.
YES,YES AND YES!!! THANK YOU!!!
guys if di nyo pa nababasa, saylala/pansa posted her clarifications about this blog post: http://saylala.wordpress.com/2011/12/01/clarifications/
FYI the page of St. Louie Phase Women’s Club, Inc is already blocked…Sayang naman votes….hehehehehe
Guys,
I know what the teacher did was wrong but, hey, hindi sya yung mali para i-fire na agad sa school. There are far worse teachers than she is. She may be a stage mom but at least she showed that she cares for her daughter. When it comes to family, minsan nagiging tanga talaga tayo lahat(remember Jason Ivler’s mom?). C’mon, let the admin reprimand her but give her a second chance. Everybody deserves one, right?
As for the blogger, I commend you for posting this but you too made a mistake in showing the photo and the name of the child of the teacher. The teacher is getting enough hurtful comments. Showing her child’s photo and name is too much.
Hi. Although I respect the views and opinions posted on your blog.. please censor the name/ picture of t. xxxxxx’s child as she is just a minor. Posting her picture violates the child’s right to privacy. I salute you for standing up for your brother. However, the repercussions to the family of t. xxxxxx (esp to her innocent child) must also be put into consideration. I know you are from a reputable university that does not only teach its students to stand up for what they believe in but also imbibes that in doing so, does not step on other people’s rights. I know this issue can be settled in an amiable manner and should not result to the defamation of anybody ‘s (or any institution for that matter) reputation.
In our anger, let us not sin. God bless you.
I think it has been fervently pointed out that what the teacher did was wrong. And she acknowledged that through her apology (which some of you answered in a very rude way by the way). But has it occurred to any of you that maybe her daughter wanted to win that contest so badly that led to this action? Okay, sabihin natin ‘hindi na nag-iisip’ but she’s a mother. Sa mga hindi pa nanay dyan, i don’t think you would understand her that much. Para sa inyo, mali sya at dun nyo na tinapos yun pero please try to see things in different perspectives. Don’t go posting hasty judgments about her being a bad person already. You don’t know her personally so you don’t have a say on what kind of person she is. One mistake no matter how much small or big cannot wholly justify anyone.
I understand the blogger’s intention as well but it would have been better if you took this matter privately among yourselves ( the school, the teacher and the parents of her students).
Isipin nyo din yung anak nya habang pinaparantangan nyo yung nanay nya. I don’t think any of us would like to experience that. Okay, nagkamali sya. Tama na yung icorrect natin pero please be sensitive. And please don’t generalize things na lahat ng teachers ganto dahil sa nangyaring to.
Open your minds and broaden your understanding. At wag kayo nagsasabi ng ‘Kaya walang nararating ang Pilipinas eh’. That should apply for you too.
ditto.
Sooner or later a relative, friend or supporter of the teacher will trivialize this matter and condition the minds of the gullible. They will paint the teacher as a victim and divide opinions that will detach people from the gravity of the matter. Hell, it may even become a class war.
Remember Jerzon Senador? That heartless boy who hung his dog on a washing line and posted it of facebook? The jologs his age rallied to his side and trolled every post that was posted about his misdemeanor. Eventually it became a clash between the rich versus the poor. The sad reality is, there will always be a class of people who distort an issue and bring it down to a twisted level of class war.
IT’S HAPPENING NOW. SCARY.
Well, some people would rather distort than accept the truth
@Gio Yep, it is already happening.
well well well sister of david!! you have done a good job for speaking up when you thinks that something is wrong.
BUT! (why?)
you must think twice or trice before you do this blog!!
sna maintindihan mo dn ang pagiging mother side ni teacher which is she desperately want to win her daughter, gumana lang naman ang kanyang mother instinc at ikaw right now i understand na gumagana ngaun ang iyong sister instinct,right now i read about her post na ngsosory na si teacher and she admit that she did something wrong,sna naman learn to forgive. as a blooger sna you know your limits… Learn to control your emotion,
well I also thought in my university that I don’t provoke trouble but i accept trouble!!
Naiindintihan ko po si Teacher Xxxxxx Hindi naman sa mali siya kundi may karapatan rin po siyang magpa-assignment ng ganun as a mother kasi po anak niya po yon siguro ayaw niya lang po matalo yung anak niya na si Xxxxxxxx Nakikita ko po yung pag-susupport niya at ang pagmamahal niya po sa anak niya pero sana respetuhin nalang po natin siya pasensya na po kayo naiinditihan ko lang po si Teacher Xxxxxx as a Mother pasensya na po talaga sana po wag po kayong magalit sa sasabihin ko
hindi po ako isang nanay pasensya na po yung ibigsabihin ko po dun sa may part na as a mother ung ibigsabihin ko po dun ung pagiging isang nanay ni Teacher Xxxxxx
I knoooooooooooooooooow! She had all the right to use—err, get help from her 9-year old students because she’s, like, a mother and stuff, and really now… Who could resist a mother so cuddly and loving and stuff, right? I mean who cares if she’s also a teacher, right?
“Hindi naman sa mali siya kundi may karapatan rin po siyang magpa-assignment ng ganun as a mother kasi po anak niya po yon siguro ayaw niya lang po matalo yung anak niya…”
seriously???? so sinasabi mo na dahil nanay sha at gusto nya na manalo ang anak nya, nagbigay sha ng maling assignment ok lang yun???
MALI SYA, HINDI NYA DAPAT GINAWA YUN… OK?
Buti pala di mo sinabi kung sino ka. Mapapahiya ka lang sa katangahan mo e.
very funny, a UP student using the term “freedom of expression” without really understanding its true meaning.
she’s already an alumna, i think.
surely, the press will feast on this story. i can only imagine the distraught that this issue will bring. poor child.
I really believe with all my heart that you are a UP Faculty member.
hello to the BLOGGER, pwede ka bang mainterview.. regarding this issue.. – reporter

) tignan mo nga comment mo. Galit na galit. 
) HAHAHA baka atakihin ka naman. Hinay hinay lang. Pare pareho lang tayong OA. 
we want the whole world to know. that’s why we post stuff on the internet.
HEHE my ass
sige
Agreed with that Ma’m/ Sir
CO-UP Student/ Blogger.
Sana alam mo pa rin ang kahulugan ng “Freedom of Expression” bilang naturingan ka na UP Student.
Our rights end with somebody’s right.
Keep that in mind, Iskolar!
@jev: this is her blog. She can write whatever she wants so let her. Get over the fact that she put it out there. Or better yet stop reading her blog.
i am just reminding her. as UP Student posted above your reply. nah, don’t wanna argue with you. zzz
That’s because y’all so damn perfect. It was an honest mistake. Have a little heart. Think of the children.
And other such fallacious cliches.
I understand where the heat is coming from since there’s a “third party harm”, if you’re considering the psychological effect the teacher’s act may have caused her students. But please, what happened to her right to privacy? All she’s asking is for you to censor the name of the school and kids involved. Since this is your blog, you have every right to rant about it. But please be considerate of the intense psychological harm that you’re causing this teacher. Even suspects of a more harmful crime can demand from medias to have their face concealed during reports. Cyber bullying does exist. The proof is within the comments of your article.
The wiser thing to do is to personally confront the teacher and the principal. Although, don’t delete your post! You have successfully destroyed the apathetic minds of hundreds of Facebook users.
Bottomline is, it is HER blog. I think she has the right to express whatever she wants here because it is her space. Kasalanan ba nya na binabasa nyo tong entry ngayon?
Di sa kinakampihan ko yung blogger. In fact, I was a student of Teacher Xxxxxx years ago at I must say, magaling syang teacher. As far as I could remember, akma naman sa subject ang mga pinapagawa nya sa amin noon.
Pero tingin ko din, mali talaga yung pinagawa nyang activity sa mga student nya. Kung sa mga high school student, madadaan lang sa bolahan para iboto yung anak nya, okay lang. Pero to give it as a graded activity to her students, mali yun. Parang inaabuse nya ang authority nya bilang teacher, thinking na walang choice ang student, YOUNG STUDENTS, to do what she commands them to do dahil nasa kamay nya ang magiging grades nila.
Hey, if I had an advocacy, I’d use—err, engage my students in it, too!
wla na yung account s fb
mali nga teacher. school dapat ang magreprimand.
tong blogger na to naghahanap sya ng kakampi kaya sa blog naglabas ng sama ng loob.
kaya sya sa internet dumiretso kasi duwag sya—
kung totoong gusto nya ng aksyon di sya sa internet muna nagsumbong at dumiretso sya sa school at kinompronta ang teacher at school, hindi yung nagpasabog ng ganito–oo mali nga yung nangyari pero dapat ba ganyan parang siraan na ng pagkatao?
at mukang masaya sya na ganyan ang kinalabasan na pinagpyestahan yung mali nung teacher, cinelebrate ng bongga, shinare at pinagchismisan, kinampihan sya, sama sama nilang pinagduldulan na bobo ang teacher, makasarili, dapat tanggalin sa trabaho bla bla bla… masaya yang blogger na “tama sya”.
compassion naman. kahit konti lang.
IKR? It’s so fukken wrong that this Ayla girl here just aired Teacher Xxxxxx’s dirty laundry out in the open! People shouldn’t have known about this! They should’ve been kept in the dark! I mean, OMG, it’s like totally libelous and defamatory because the teacher didn’t really bring it upon herself or do anything for that matter.
First time nyo ba makasagap ng kontrobersyal na post sa internet? Eh ano naman kung gusto mag-inform ng blogger through her blog? Simple lang naman solusyon dyan e. Umalis kayo sa site nya.
kung ayaw mo comment namin, eh di umalis ka din sa comment section.
diba
Agree with the UP Faculty and the Co-Iskolar in the above comments, though this is indeed your personal blog, posting these exchanges without censoring the names of those involve does not only hurt the Teacher/Mother who forced the assignment upon students but also could bring traumatizing effects to the daughter. Heck even 9gag and memebase.com users have better ethics in censoring these kinds of stuff as this could go public and can also be sensationalized by both the media and common internet folk. In not censoring their names you did not just abused your freedom to express but also exploited names of institutions, schools and yourself as well…
Kapwa Iskolar maging maingat at responsable sa iyong pagbblog
Wow! good job on the part of the “Carmelian Alumna” Blogger!
Your fellow alumnus are soooo f*cking proud of you!
and, oh yea, don’t forget the Carmelite Missionaries as well..
Naaaaaailed it! She shouldn’t have exposed, you know, stuff. ‘Cuz, like, even if it’s all true the school’s super cuddly reputation is what’s important here. And stuff.
St. Louie Phase Women’s Club, Inc page has been deactivated, thank you Ms. Panda =/
IT’S NOT HER FAULT.
There is a recognized right of privacy in civil law.[2060] The Civil Code of the Philippines states that “[e]very person shall respect the dignity, personality, privacy, and peace of mind of his neighbors and other persons,”
Article III of the Constitution of the Philippinescontains the Bill of Rights. Section 1 of the Bill of Rights states that the “Congress shall give highest priority to the enactment of measures that protect and enhance the right of all the people to human dignity.”[2047]
Yeah, she destroyed her own dignity blah blah blah. You should’ve at least covered names and pictures.
I totally agree. That’s why I soooooooooo hate what they did to Ramona and Gloria and to that Winston Garcia guy back then. Ugh, whatever! They, like, should’ve been protected and stuff. People didn’t have to know, y’know?
Are you a hater or somethin? You must have been kicked out of that f’cking school =))
True. It’s the only logical reason I can come up with as well.
I agree with the blogger, the teacher is wrong in all aspects no matter “how badly” she wanted to win as a mother. We all want to win naman eh but to manipulate 9 years old kids and making it an excuse as assignment to follow directions there are other ways to assign an assignment to follow directions without using a social networking site. I think you should settle this within the school premises and NOT in this blog.
Xxxxxx, you should apologize to your students and their parents in private and not here.
Ayla, can you just blur the picture of Xxxxxx’s daughter for their privacy.
Hey.oh – the blogger already deleted the picture of the child approximately 1.5 hours ago
FUNNY ON MS> PANDAK ELLIS……
WRONG MOVES KA RIN SA FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION,, UP ALLUMNI KA PA NAMAN… hehehehe… SO SHAME……..
please wear your EQUALITY AND BALANCE….. (don’t be bias) NO BODY’s PERFECT..
i do understand your side same as Teacher/mother side, ika nga WE HAVE FREEDOM TO EXPRESS NOT TO IMPRESS, (kung masaya ka na ipahiya ang TEACHER on your blog, because of mistakes, do it.. but please show your respect, and think of the consequences. simple lng kasi eh, nainis ka kaya ka nag post, TAMA? pero sana bago ka nag post sa blog mo. NAG ISIP KA MUNA? ( THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK IKA NGA..)
I don’t want to elaborate pa kung anu ang gusto ko sabihin sayu at kay teacher/mother.
hehe… MATANDA KA NA ALAM MO NA YAN..
(NATAWA LNG AKO SA BLOG NATO, MALIIT NA BAGAY LNG, PERO PEDENG MAPALAKI AT UMABOT PA SA MEDIA.. TSK! TSK!….. (so pity to the blogger and teacher) this is so so sample of real PINOY ISSUE,, sobrang babaw … pero palalakihin pa.. I HOPE IT WILL END THE SOONEST NA.. at wag na magaya sa previous issue like DOG HANGING…
I ag-ree. I didn’t understand a word you said, but I totally agree.
what. the. fuck.
Wala akong naintindihan, grammar mo naman ayusin mo. Pwede naman mag tagalog
Hindi lahat dapat pinapublicized. May mali yung teacher, yes, but I think mas mali ang ginawa mo. You should have confronted her first. Or kung hindi na talaga kayang pigilan ang “pag-usok ng ilong” mo, kinwento mo nlng sana muna sa mga kaibigan mo, relatives mo, etc, hindi yung pinost mo pa talaga sa WORLD WIDE WEB, nagdrop kpa ng names not only of those involved person, pati rin yung daughter nya, nung school at lahat ng mga nagcomment dun sa FB whatsoever.
Yes, the university taught us to speak up when we thought something is wrong, but before that we were first taught to think. I agree with Dabs ” maging maingat at responsable sa iyong pagbblog”, tama man lahat ng punto mo pero hindi ata tama yung pamamaraan mo.
Gab, kung hindi pumayag si “T.xxxxxx” na i-post ang picture ng anak niya sa fb, hindi sana mapopost yung picture na yun dito. The pictures that Miss Blogger posted here are public photos na mismong si “T.xxxxxx” ang naglagay sa FB.
tama. the photos were made public, kaso di ba parang may restrictions about sa pag-gamit ng photographs na hindi sayo?kahit pa kamo naka-printscreen lang naman yata yung mga nakikita dito sa post na to. nevertheless, i agree with the author of this blog. however, i think it would’ve been better if she just kept her hands clean by not dropping names or by censoring some parts.ewan ko lang din.
Ethics,
Wasnt it good na this blogger wrote facts? If she didnt expose the names, eh di hanggang ngayon wala pang action being done on such case.
Censoring? Bakit, May kailangan ba tayong pagtakpan na tao dito?
Reactor,
i do not agree with the arguments presented by “T.xxxxxx”, in fact i question her credibility as a teacher. but then again, this is the author’s thoughts we’re looking at, and we have no right to question her ideals. this issue kind of reminds me of a saying (i don’t know where this came from), and I quote: “a person’s rights end where the rights of others begin.”
hehe.wala naman po.naisip ko lang po na mas okay sana kung di na lang siya nagmention ng names,para lang din proteksyunan ang sarili nya (i mean, yung author).para lang din ipakita that she knows what she’s doing, considering that this issue is about ethics and all.work ethics, social media ethics, etc. kumbaga it’s her right to express her thoughts on the matter, but it would’ve been better if she kept it formal. if she wanted to get the attention of the people who were directly involved in the issue at hand, she could’ve simply waited for them to meet personally and discuss it in a more productive manner. but if she finds her method efficient in getting results, then it’s her call.
Ethics,
Ms. Blogger was actually kind enough to remove the children’s photos. About censorship, sa totoo lang, I still disagree. Because posts such as this will establish awareness regarding the loopholes in the educational system of our country. To begin with, the posted photos are public domains in facebook (at the time of posting).
I appreciate your reply though.
yeah, i guess you’re right. i just hope they’d be able to straighten things out, and i hope this would teach everyone to be more responsible with their activities, online or otherwise (lalo na yung nasa academe). it was nice to have fellow “reactors” who would not call you names and say things like “you know, like, you are so tanga.” haha
it was nice sharing thoughts with you. 
Thanks ethics.
May mga odd comments nga dito eh. May pinatulan ako, wala lang. Sige na nga matutulog na ko. I am wasting time! 
I think everyone is overreacting here. People make fools of themselves all the time; there’s no need to barrage this one teacher down. It’s not going to right any wrongs. Is this really the first time you have ever encountered someone else’s foolish mistake?
Sure, it may be a sign of the degradation of the quality of teaching of this age. But the culprits to blame are found elsewhere; and if you’re truly anxious to find out more about said culprits, you can join the thousands to millions of debates going around the internet on how to improve today’s educational standards. It’s actually an international problem.
Her school is clearly aware of her error, and the school administrators will be the ones to mete out disciplinary actions. So why is everyone still so outraged? Is she some kind of witch that you must see burned at the stake, to sate yourselves?
From what I’ve read so far, this teacher seems to be a very nice, kind, and polite (albeit misled and perhaps, not too wise yet) person. She has committed a serious wrong, and is sure to receive some form of punishment or sanction. But really.. when you look at what she did in light of the greater scheme of things, it’s really not so bad. It’s not like any of the children are going to be traumatized or so deeply misled or brought astray. Facebook likes? They probably won’t even remember this.
The names should be censored and her privacy respected. She did not “ask for this” nor does she “deserve” your scrutiny; what she deserves is entirely up to her superiors; not you.
Don’t get me wrong, I agree that the teacher’s recent actions have been horrifyingly wrong. This blog should not be closed; it should be kept open, because it does open the eyes of its readers to dangers they might not have previously been aware of. But if irresponsible bloggers are just going to aggravate and irritate and add heat to this discussion, then this blog may just as well be closed. This blog was meant for civil discussion, perhaps a warning, or educational exposure.
Neither is this the right time to attack the blogger about her mistake, as well. The matter at hand is gray enough that the manner she used in reporting somebody else’s wrongdoing is filled with wrong in itself.
She should have censored the names of the teacher, and approached the school authorities herself. Of course, she was just outraged at what her little brother went through, and so maybe she forgot herself, and so committed these mistakes. Of course, that doesn’t completely justify things. We all know these things already as they have each been repeated several times; if she has taken the time to read these posts, then I’m quite sure she’s aware of these things. And if she doesn’t want to read them for whatever reason, then all of the posts directed towards her are in vain.
The wrongs should be reprimanded. But don’t feign the authority to hand it out yourselves.
Rather.. let us not feign the authority to hand it out, ourselves.
Let’s all calm down,
“…this teacher seems to be a very nice, kind, and polite (albeit misled and perhaps, not too wise yet)”
– I like this part. actually, i love your entire speech here. hihi
Geez louise, you people! What’s so wrong about what Teacher Xxxxxx did? She’s, like, a mother, and if you’re a mother you have every right in the world to, like, use your power and stuff to get your daughter beauty points! It’s not like you’re perfect or whatevs! Like hello? Just forgive her and let her go!
Kung nanay ka, dapat hindi mo ineexploit ang anak mo, pati narin ibang mga bata. Lalo na kung isa kang guro.
At ikaw, halatang hindi ka perpekto. Sa sobrang layo mo sa perpekto, hindi mo man lang sinusubukang abutin. I hope you wallow in your pathetic mediocrity. Hindi ako magugulat kung hindi mo yun naintindihan. Like, hello? You’re, like, a total idiot.
OH. EM. GEE. You are sooooo way out of line, girl friend! Of course, I’d want my daughter to win if I were a mom (but I’m so not gonna be one ‘cuz, you know, getting preggers is yucky LAWL), and I’d do anythang and everythang in my power to get her the crown! You know what, whatever. YOU’RE the one who’s being the idiot around here! You’d make a sucky mom ‘cuz, like, you don’t love your kids enough! Ugh!
anonymoose,
wag mo na patulan. “yucky LAWL” daw kasi. ikaw naman..hehe
Like, diba, you know?
reactor, hindi nman sa kung saan galing ang picture ang punto dito..ang punto po dito ay di na dapat pinost yung picture ng bata kasi wala naman syang alam sa ginawa ng nanay nya…the kid doesn’t deserve this kind of humiliation…sana alam natin ang limit ng ating freedom of expression…
…
Si T.xxxxxx/Mommy, irresponsable kasi. Sana hindi siya pumayag na ma-socially exploit ang picture ng anak nya sa FB. She should have known better. Sa totoo lang, Blogger was kind enough to take down the photos (which she did). But kung ako ito, I wont be that forgiving.
T.xxxxxx/Mommy decided to make the photo public without thinking of the consequences. She should have been more responsible. Dont blame Ms. Blogger for taking screen shots because to begin with, that facebook page is for general viewing, and can be seen by anyone in cyberspace. So i dont see the point bakit hindi siya pwedeng ilagay dito.
It’s not corrupt! IT’S PERFECTLY NORMAL.
How is it not corrupt? She coerced her students, manipulated them in order to promote her child who was in a beauty pageant. Hell, she probably lives vicariously through her kid.
But it’s alright because “IT’S PERFECTLY NORMAL”
gimme a fuckin’ break, bitch.
wake up, friend. i think this post is about values, ethics, and all those things that were taught to us in G.M.R.C., so please try to keep an open mind about it.
Whateverrr! It’s just my opinion! Duh?! You don’t have to be so effing mean! Just, you know, stop judging Teacher Xxxxxx!
Forgive and forget and stuff!
Ever heard of the word sarcasm? LOL
Ever heard of the words ‘go fuck yourself’?
abakada,
did you mean that “Forgive her” is being sarcastic here? i don’t think so (please refer to the other reply, the one with the “forgive and forget and stuff”). but if she is indeed being sarcastic, oh well, my apologies.
Ugh, I am sooooooooooooo not dignifying this any longer. I’d rather have my secretary pick up my stilettos and pay my bills at the mall. Because I can.
Dear Teacher Xxxxxx,
Are ya fuhhhcken’ kiddin’ me? Computer class? You don’t call your subject Computer Class because wala kang class, ‘teh. Tamarin ba gumawa ng Powerpoint exercises? And fercryinouloud, that’s a sad excuse for a homework paper, wala man lang ka-effort-effort. Talo ka pa ng jejeworld, at least sila may time pumili ng fonts para lagyan ng design sa mspaint yung Starbucks photos nila.
As for conyotica hipsterifficang kabog-si-Tim-Yap Ayla, dear you, I’ll give your blog six, seven days (tops) in the hall of fame. Wala namang interesting shit sa blog mo maliban sa utterly bourgeoise, first-world ramblings mo na hindi naman mapakikinabangan ng boyfriend, at ng mundo, ‘teh, kerimari? Why don’t you instead spend your precious little time watching Modern Family and painting your nails and being prissy and all that shit for the better of the world instead of huffing shower curtain musk and posting trivial bullshit for all the world to see? You shoulda left it to the authorities, obviously another parent was already concerned about it, if you scroll up. so this attention-whoring page of yours is practically (i said practically) irrelevant. Thanks for the rather enlightening message, anyways. You made people feel worse than they already are hahahahaha.
Now go feed little smoochy her scooby snacks.!
All the love,
Smegma
sa mga tulad ni “galit sa mga bobong teacher”, sana tumigil na kayo sa pagbibitaw ng mga masasakit na salita na kailangan pang umabot sa pagsabi ng ” lagay mo dun na pag naka100 na likes, magpapakamatay ka”? Lahat ba ng taong nagkakasala sayo, humingi man ng tawad o hindi sinasabihan mo na magpakamatay ka na lang? Nakakatakot ka pa lang maging kaibigan, asawa, kapatid, magulang o kamag-anak.
At kailangan pang ikumpara kina Gloria at Angelo Reyes, iba ang kasalanan nila sa kasalanan ng teacher, pero kahit gaano pa kalaki ang kasalanan nila wala tayong karapatan sabihin na magpakamatay sila o sabihin na “Put the Little Girl to Sleep” (kahit kathang isip lang ni Horn ang “gov’t operation” na sinasabi nya…)
To ms blogger, paki-usap na lang na i-blur mo na rin ang mga pangalan ng mga tao sa image. Though guilty, sobra na ang damage ang nabigay sa pangalan nya, humingi na rin sya ng tawad at sana marunong din tayong magpatawad.
John 8:7 (KJV)
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
To depressedsouldiary,
Pakiusap din, i-click mo yung refresh button, or i-check mo yung blog ulit because the blog has been edited FYI, wala na yung photos ng mga bata. The blogger was kind enough to remove it.
I knoooooooooooooooooooow! Teacher Xxxxxx was just, you know, doing what she had to do. Totally nothing wrong with making her students like the Facebook thingie, and it’s not like people here are so effing clean either. It’s not rocket science, she’s blameless.
And like the bible part, I love it. ‘Cause it sucks not to be a Christian these days. Just sayin’.
SORRY AYLa PALA ung BLOGGER!!!!!! ahiahiiii, masyado na kasi expose at madami na agad follower eh, ayan mali tuloy… ERRATUM
I dunno about you girl friends, but I’d totally coerce—err, seek help from my students if my daughter joined a beauty contest. Those of you who say otherwise are like total idiots ‘cuz you don’t know how cool it is to wear a tiara.
Don’t hate! Just forgive Teacher Xxxxxx and let her off the hook!
I think you’ve had too many scooby snacks
No, YOU ate too many Scooby Snacks and all that whatevs. If you’re not here to, you know, defend Teacher Xxxxxx, then you’re totally cray-cray.
Haha. Di ka ba makatulog teacher?
Sana makarating sa DepEd yung kaso mo.
I can’t sleep because of, like, self-righteous morons like you who think you’re so effing clean. Duh? What’s so morally, um, wrong about making students like your daughter’s picture in exchange for grades? *Rolls eyes in whateverness.*
Try harder.
No, you.
Omigod, err…
) Makasawsaw lang eh. Haha
to reactor
naku sensya na ha sa tagal kong nagsulat sa phone ko hindi ko napansin na nawala na ang photo.. pero kailangan pa rin i-blur ang mga pangalan ng mga guro at ng iba pang mga taong nag-comment dun.
Just sayin’.
To reactor
ikaw din paki-refresh ang page, nag-reply ka sa 2nd comment ko na may “i-blur mo na rin ang mga pangalan ng mga tao sa image.” I am referring to the “names” in the image posted. Bago ko kasi i-post yang 2nd comment nakita ko na wala na ang picture ng mga bata, pero nandun pa rin ang mga pangalan..
About “The blogger was kind enough to remove it.”, alam ko naman at hindi naman din ako against sa pag-post nya, sa picture at names lang ako hindi sang-ayon.
Mali naman na ibulgar natin ang pangalan at pagtulungan sa pagsasabi ng masasakit na salita. Ikaw ba kapag may kasalanan ka gusto mo bang i-post natin dito ang pangalan para mura-murahin at sabihan na magpakamatay ka na lang? Hindi porket nasa facebook or any social networking site na ang pangalan eh pwede na natin sabihin na may karapatan na tayong alipustahin o sirain ang pagkatao nya dahil public property na sya.
* Kailangan talagang patulan?
hehehehe
Oo, kailangan talagang patulan because this is a serious matter, don’t you think?
I am not answerable for the “magpakamatay comments”, kaya baka sa maling tao ka din nagcocomment. Chaka hindi naman yun yung pinaguusapan natin. The other comments here are odd like that “magpakamatay comment”, kaya hindi ko pinansin. Hindi ko lang alam bakit pinapansin mo
Haloperidol for you.
Pwede mo yung i-google teacher, kung hindi mo alam.
Pointless na rin mag-comment na directed sa blogger, hindi nya na binabasa ang mga comments. http://i.imgur.com/2Q2Vv.jpg
to reactor,
bakit ko pinapansin ang “magpakamatay” issue, hindi ba obvious sa alias ko? naaawa ako sa mga taong napupunta sa isang sitwasyon na pwede ma-trigger ang depression. ang sa akin lang wag sana magaya si titser sa kalagayan ko, na kailangan uminom ng gamot at magpa-checkup sa psychiatrist para labanan ang depression at alisin sa isip ang “magpakamatay”. Iba man ang dahilan ko kung bakit ako na-depress, ang nangyari sa titser ay pwedeng maging trigger ng depression, inamin na ngang nagkamali pero hindi pa rin naintindihan ng iba. Sa tingin nyo ba matatahimik sya sa kasalanang nagawa nya lalo na’t napagsabihan pa ng mga masasakit na salita at alam pa ang pangalan nya?
Alam mo depressedsouldiary,
We have to be strong in overcoming mistakes and failures in life. Pag napagdaanan natin yung mga bagay na yun, we develop something within ourselves that’s worth being proud of.
I am sorry to hear that you are undergoing clinical depression, and i hope that you recover from it soon. My point here is, we should not censor such details — because they are factual in nature. Take for example sa news nalang natin, If we will censor people’s names, we will not be trully aware of what is happening around us.
I understand your predicament about that silly comment, pero kung
depressedsouldiary, in life, if we will take into heart what everybody is saying about us, madedepress ka talaga, because you cannot please everybody. So it is up to us, to choose and decide which comments will be helpful for us.
Sa totoo lang, what is the main point of this blog? We are hoping that there will be improvement in the education system of our country. Yun lang naman.
Get well soon.
