Regarding the incident "Parents are upset because the teacher asked for laptop support" that occurred at Chuong Duong Primary School (District 1, Ho Chi Minh City), on the afternoon of September 28, Mr. Vo Cao Long - Head of the Department of Education and Training of District 1 said that after receiving information about the incident, the Department worked with the school to find a solution.
Immediately, we have requested to refund all the money parents contributed to the Class Parents' Representative Committee to properly perform the functions and tasks of the operating budget of the Class Parents' Representative Committee.
Along with that, the arrangement of Ms. T.P.H, homeroom teacher of class 4/3, has been temporarily suspended while the case is handled.
At the same time, another teacher will be assigned to the class to stabilize the psychology of students and parents, and at the same time, handle the request to change classes of 25/27 parents of students in this class.
Previously, as Lao Dong reported, Ms. T.P.H, homeroom teacher of class 4/3 at Chuong Duong Primary School, requested laptop support, but did not receive consensus from all parents.
Ms. H then refused to accept support but informed the parents that she would not prepare a review outline. Ms. H agreed on the review lesson and the parents reviewed it for their children themselves.
In addition, according to parents' feedback, in the following school days, Ms. H let her children study on TV a lot.
For most subjects, Ms. H lets the kids watch YouTube, even some of the solutions are on TV, and then they have to copy them down. Many kids can't copy them down in time and have to give up. For math, she lets them copy the questions from TV and books and then do them themselves...
During the meeting between parents, the school and Ms. T.P.H on September 24, 27/38 parents of students in class 4/3 attended.
At this meeting, teacher T.P.H said she had caused parents to misunderstand her intentions through messages in the class group.
"I was wrong to encourage parents to equip themselves with laptops, and wrong to keep the class fund," Ms. H's words were recorded in the meeting minutes.
The female teacher also apologized to the school leaders and parents of the 4/3 class students and promised to correct any mistakes she made.
Although the teacher admitted her mistake and promised to correct it, many parents attending the meeting expressed their disagreement with the teacher continuing to teach or transferring their children to another class.
