REFERRING to the letter “Disgruntled with the behaviour of some teachers” (The Star, April 5), I hope it will open the eyes of the Education Ministry to the situation. The current mode of communication among school administrators and teachers is WhatsApp and Telegram messages. Even official and confidential letters and circulars are communicated through these platforms.
I would like to explain to the writer that teachers are “using” their mobile phones in class to read these messages and directives from multiple departments within the school. It is “burdensome” being disrupted every second to read messages telling them such things as to be alert when a recycling truck enters the school compound to collect unwanted items or of dogs running in the school field.
