“Siguro ito din dapat ang repasuhin: kung tama ba ang dami ng reports na pinapagawa sa kanila. Tingnan kung sagabal na ang mga ito sa pagtuturo.

“Tandaan din natin na ang mga guro ang main workforce sa mga community activities. Sa mga piyesta at lahat ng holiday celebration, sila ang inaasahan. At ito ay unpaid work, for the love of community na lang,” Hataman noted.

Sorsogon 1st District Rep. Evelina Escudero has filed House Bill Nos. 3611 proposing a no-homework policy from kindergarten to high school while Quezon City 5th District Rep. Alfred Vargas and Senator Grace Poe both filed bills that seek to only ban homework for the weekend. /kga
