On October 1, the Department of Education of District 1, Ho Chi Minh City held a meeting and exchanged information with the press regarding the incident "Parents are upset because the teacher asked for laptop support" at Chuong Duong Primary School (District 1, Ho Chi Minh City).
Mr. Vo Cao Long - Head of the Department of Education and Training of District 1 said that on the morning of October 1, the number of students in grade 4/3 of Chuong Duong Primary School who were absent from school yesterday (September 30) had returned to school quite fully.
At the same time, Mr. Long added, Chuong Duong Primary School has agreed to assign teacher Dinh Thi Kim Thoa - Vice Principal of the school to replace Ms. H - the previous homeroom teacher of class 4/3 - to take charge of the replacement class to teach class 4/3.
The school representative said that this morning, 36/38 students of class 4/3 came to school. 2 students were absent due to illness, with permission.
Regarding the above incident, yesterday (September 30), Chuong Duong Primary School decided to temporarily suspend Ms. T.P.H - homeroom teacher of class 4/3, and head of grade 4.
The suspension period is 15 days.
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 the consensus of many 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.
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 that 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 the class or wanted to transfer their children to another class.
