ELAVATED VISION Limit beyond borderlines

DOMINIQUE BONDOC

We have heard it a lot of times and are taught that schools are our second home and teachers are our second parents, but if things go wrong, will this be maintained?

The Department of Education order no. 49 caught the eye of the public as this issue talks about prohibiting social media relations between students and teachers to avoid causing issues and problems and to also maintain the formality between them.

This was implemented in 2022, and I am against this order because in no way should they stop the interaction between students and teachers when students were taught that teachers are their second parents in the first place. Yes, there could be serious issues, but there should be limitations.

Interaction between students and teachers through social media can deepen their relationship with one another and help avoid misunderstandings and issues.

School isn’t just for recreation, right? All of us need a good and healthy environment in order to do well, and prohibiting it isn’t the solution to this.

I, personally, am a shy person, and even if I answered simple questions to my teachers, I couldn’t do it, and I find this problem of mine serious because I wouldn’t be able to do well with my academic performance if I behaved like this. I’ve always been comfortable with my surroundings, and I’ve noticed that more interaction with your teachers creates less worry and problems with your performance. But this can only happen if students and teachers know their limitations, and that is what they should focus on.

Instead of stopping the interaction between the teachers and students, they should focus more on the limitations. As long as there are limitations and they know their limitations, effective learning and a good environment are implemented.

Always know your limitations as students and create a borderline between yourself and the teacher.

Borderline not to keep them out, but to protect what’s in.

Know your principles and morals.
