In a social media post, the Department of Education appeals to parents to teach their children the value of honesty and to let them answer their self-learning modules themselves. Since the start of online classes, children have been given self-learning modules. However, it has been apparent that parents are the ones answering it for their kids.
“It will also be helpful kung tutulong tayo… sa pagtuturo ng honesty. Bigyan natin ‘yan ng emphasis dahil malulugi ang bata kung si lola ang mag-answer ng mga questions. It does not benefit the child at all,”states Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones of the Department of Education.
“Pinaalalahanan ni Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones ang publiko, lalo na ang mga magulang at guardians, na turuang maging matapat ang mga mag-aaral at gabayan lamang ang mga ito sa pagsasagot ng self-learning modules upang lubusang matuto ang kanilang mga anak,” excerpt from the social media post of DepEd Philippines.
