Trinidad and Tobago's Minister Ayanna Webster-Roy reported the case when her daughter accidentally saw porn during an online class and ask parents to be more responsible for what their kids do online.
The coronavirus pandemic has shifted virtually every aspect of life including the way our educational systems operate. Due to the implementation of social distancing, a majority of students from all around the world have run into online classes. Students in Trinidad and Tobago are no exception as their schools are now closing indefinitely.
Although learning from home has been beneficial to most students during this pandemic, there are still some challenges presented by this new lifestyle. Ayanna Webster-Roy, the Minister of State in the Office of the Prime Minister has pointed out some of these issues.
Students stream porn during online class
In regard to this problem, Ayanna Webster-Roy has made a complaint on her Facebook account about some parents’ inadequate supervision of their own children. Speaking from her own experience when observing her daughters’ online classes, she strongly condemned students streaming porn during class sessions. The member of parliament (MP) for Tobago East expressed her serious concern about her children’s remote learning being disrupted by such kind of actions.
Parents are in charge of what their kids do online
According to Ayanna Webster-Roy, parents should take full responsibility for not having paid enough attention to their kids. "Forgive my rant post this morning, but some parents need to get a grip of their children”, the MP said. It’s obvious that seeing pornography interrupting her daughters’ classes has definitely bothered her a lot.
She said that both of her daughters had experienced class interruption due to hard porn videos being shared on screens. Whether it is deliberate or accidental, such behaviors in learning and teaching environments are unacceptable. As a mother who expects the best education for her kids, she finds other parents’ lack of supervision completely irritating.
For that matter, the Minister alerted all of the parents to the fact that respecting online learning is of great importance. "For goodness sake, educate your kids that the rights some of them demand have equally important and corresponding responsibilities!” said Ayanna Webster-Roy.
