My son was accused of cheating

  Hello, DJ Chloe!

  I just wanna share about my son’s problem who is in college. One night he told us if it’s ok if he’s going to drop his one subject ‘coz his professor makes him feel depressed. His mind is repeatedly bothered that he’s being thought of cheating in their class which he cannot accept. Before the quiz he already told his professor that he forgot to bring his calculator and then he has happened to guess the right answer in their multiple-choice problem quiz without the solution. The professor cannot believe it. My son defended himself that he just guessed the answers and he didn’t even know that he’ll get them correctly. The moment he explained his side, the professor shut him up, not welcoming whatever he’s trying to say. He always felt that he’s being perceived negatively no matter what he does. One time during his presentation, the professor gets in the way to embarrass him in their class. He told us he doesn’t know why the prof is acting like that or maybe because it is his second take on his class because he has failed it before.

  We told our son that we are supporting him all the way to what he thinks is best for him. We wanted to talk to his professor, but he doesn’t want us to. He said to let him do his own way to solve the issue. He just made a formal letter to the chairman of their course to express how he felt about the professor; what had happened and his decision to drop the subject to avoid that his performance on his other subjects be affected and totally lose his respect to his professor.

  He told us we raised him well to stand firm to what is right, to never give up and that he can reach his goals in life no matter how challenging it is. He doesn’t want us to be disappointed because we are the one who keeps inspiring and encouraging him in spite of his failures (teary eyed to hear such words from our son). We embraced him with all his flaws, always reminding him that his failures don’t define his future. What matter is how we stand to correct our mistakes with lessons in life, working hand in hand with God that will make us even stronger and wiser.

  It’s really heartbreaking for us parents to see our son who is trying his best but being pulled down by the one who is expected to uplift his spirit in spite of his failures.

  We just told our son not to hold grudges but rather we have to pray for his professor’s enlightenment.
  Thanks for taking time to read and giving us your sound advice or opinion about this. God bless!

  Hi Mrs V.

  If your son says he will handle it, let him, but just always guide him.

  Maganda rin na matuto ang mga bata paano makipag-usap on their own.

  Tama lang din ang ginawa mo and it seems napalaki mo naman ng tama ang anak mo. Just keep guiding him kasi ‘yan talaga ang role nating mga magulang, ang gumabay and to keep praying for them…for life.

  My daughter was once bullied in school by her teacher, and since bata pa anak ko nu’n, ‘di ko talaga pinalampas. It affected her so much na ayaw niya ng pumasok pa sa school. Ang ending lumipat ng ibang school sa kalagitnaan ng taon.

  Siguro may mga ganun, na mainit ang dugo nila sa isang estudyante, kaya at all times maganda rin na inaalam natin ang problema ng mga anak natin sa school.

  Sa anak mo kasi college na, medyo mahirap na din maging hovering ka sa kanya. But just keep an open communication with him so you can guide him at all times.
