A message from a person introducing themselves as a classroom teacher, stating that their 5-year-old student is fasting and that the parent sent the child to school without any food, sparked a major debate. Following the post, the discussion about young children fasting intensified, and the accuracy of the incident also became a topic of debate among users.
A message sent to one of the pages followed by teachers quickly became a topic of discussion. In the message, the person who introduced themselves as a classroom teacher wrote that their 5-year-old student is fasting and that the parent sent the child to school without a lunchbox and water.
"SENDING WITHOUT A WATER BOTTLE OR LUNCHBOX"
The message included the following statements: "I am a classroom teacher. My 5-year-old student is fasting. The parent sends the child without a water bottle or lunchbox. During snack time, the child is left alone in the classroom, and naturally, I have to be with my other students. I asked for help from my administration on this matter. They said, 'Oh teacher, we might be labeled as non-believers, these are sensitive issues, handle it yourself.' The situation we are put in is very painful."
THE ACCURACY IS BEING DISCUSSED
After the post, a heated debate began on social media. Some users argued that it is not appropriate for young children to fast for health reasons, while others stated that family preferences should be respected.
Some of the comments made under the post are as follows;
- I do not believe this incident is true.
- At this point, the principal is right. The teacher should not get involved. They will get into trouble. We have been reading news about teachers being suspended for days. The parents should think about it. We are neither their mother nor their father.
- Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done. The family already knows that their child will experience these situations at school...
