On Facebook, a Hanoi’s female student wrote: “I am sorry, Dad. Because of me, you had to spend a whole morning to come to see a crazy woman. I know you don’t want to meet her, because I myself want to drop out when seeing her face. It’s because I cannot do well. The venerable teacher, helped me understand what “monster” means.”

The entry of the female student has got a lot of comments from friends. After reading the questions and the answers, one may guess that the parents of the female student were asked to come to see the teacher who wanted to be informed about the mistakes made by the student. The student kept the mobile phone ringing during the lessons and answered the teacher back.

The female student related that when she asked her father to come to see the teacher, the father told her to say to the teacher that he would only come when he has free time.

The entry of the student in Hanoi and the behavior of her parent have raised questions. It’s enigmatic why the parent was so indifferent to the daughter’s problem. Especially, the feelings of the female students received the sympathy from her friends.

It seems that the female student now has a lot of problems at the same time. “There have been so many troubles recently, which have inhibited me. There would be so many exams for 12th graders which can be described as the fetid winds blown on every face,” she wrote.

The comments of the female students appeared on Facebook just several days after another Hanoi’s student reportedly insulted her teacher on Facebook. Thus, making the discussion about the morality of Vietnamese students in the modern times become hotter than ever.

A teacher of a general school in Hanoi complained that she regularly has to read the students’ essays which use slang and bag language, warning that the schoolboy’s language has been distorting the traditional Vietnamese language.

Thanh Tam, a teacher from Tan Lap High School in Hanoi, said she sometimes felt tired of reading dull essays with terrible mistakes. She cannot understand why the students could go on to the next grades every year, if they even cannot write sentences with no grammar mistake and style.

“I do not know where the 9x (the students, born in 1990s) learned the terrible styles of writing from. They nowadays tend to use disguised letters and the words that they call the “language of the digital era.”

“I sometimes cannot interpret the words of my students. They regularly abbreviate, use slang words and write without any comma or dot in sentences,” Tam said.

Hoang Minh Luong a lecturer of the Journalism and Propaganda Academy, has noted that students nowadays abuse jargons, thus creating odd writing styles, breaking grammar rules. “I am afraid that the traditional language of the nation may lose its beauty one day,” Luong said.

More seriously, students nowadays fight each other and kill classmates right after the school lessons.

Two female students of the Doi Ngo High School in Bac Giang province were reportedly stabbed by another female student. One of the two stabled students died on the site, while the other was hospitalized in a serious status.
