I would like to thank you for the comments you shared with me in my post about my student. All I can say is teaching is not an easy job especially teaching online where students are all invisible. Teachers never know if they are physically present behind the computer screen. I may not be able to read your comments negatively or positively because even on weekends we are still working like carabaos checking and posting students’ outputs. I have 320 students. I assure you that I was not insulting my student, I was just expressing my sentiments to you. I need your sympathy, but so sorry for you misunderstood my post. Teaching online is not easy, my ears are always itchy and keep on going to my EENT. Three of my co-teachers have a hearing problem due to gadgets that are always plugged into their ears so with mine. I might experience hearing loss if teaching online continues. The resolution of the dean of the College of Engineering and Architecture is Mandatory Expulsion of my student for he only passed one subject in the first semester, which is why he never showed up during virtual classes and never complied with all the tasks. I am so sorry for him. Thank you so much for your understanding, please never be judgmental. I may get back to you during summer vacation. We are very busy constructing tests for the midterm departmental exams scheduled on April 2-15, 2023 f2f.

I don't remember reading that post of yours. Maybe I missed it. I can very well understand the challenges that teaching job brings and it's not easy. Especially with the online teaching mode, it gets even more challenging and trickier. Please take care of yourself.

@cacay1 I'm sorry for him but he have to step up his game if he wants to graduate. He is wasting his time and money

@rakski it's a free tuition in the university. It's government owned mandated by former President Duterte.

320 is a lot of students. Hearing loss would be no fun at all.

I missed reading that post of yours. True it's not easy to be a teacher. My mother was a teacher and I know she's always busy so when I was asked what I want to do for work I said I want to be a manager lol.

Yes having gadgets plugged in ears is risky for prolonged time...
