RECENTLY, a teacher went viral on social media after she broadcast her frustrations in front of her students. In the live broadcast, she used words that many deemed inappropriate for a teacher to say. She asserted that her being a licensed professional teacher was earned and she deserves the respect of her students. She complained about her students' attitude and warned that 'wala kayong mararating sa buhay (you will not succeed in life).'

A live broadcast is the usual emotional catharsis of disappointed people engaging the digital space to rant. As the teacher was judged by many netizens for being unbecoming of a professional teacher that she asserted she is, many parents and teachers simply empathized and expressed the same observation of how students and children of this generation actually behave. She was a disappointment to many but hers is a wake-up call to all.
