No smart devices, no selfies, no video games and no TikTok or any social media during classes. Students should always pay attention to whatever is being taught by the teacher in front or on screen for those who are doing classes online.
You wouldn’t want to get caught using TikTok during class or you’ll risk your smartphones being confiscated or you being kicked out of the Zoom call. But what happens if the tables are turned? Apparently this particular teacher is under fire for going live on TikTok while she was teaching her class.
Cikgu mengajar live. Boleh tak boleh? Mak ayah setuju cikgu cikgu mengajar live? Bila komen terus kena block.Sekolah mana ni? PPD tolong ambil tindakan dekat cikgu cikgu yang buat tiktok fb live semua ni. This is unacceptable. Your focus should be 100% in class! pic.twitter.com/isJ6lcdBOu

Twitter user @n_ahwal shared with her followers regarding a teacher who was doing a live broadcast on TikTok while she was physically teaching her students in class. She shared that she commented during the live session with the intention of advising the teacher that she should focus on teaching her students in front of her but her comment got blocked.
@n_ahwal wasn’t the only one who disagreed on the teacher’s action. Others tried to comment as well during the live teaching session but the teacher’s colleague defended her saying, “Why can’t we teach live? A lot of teachers are doing it”. The twitter user made a thread explaining the situation and why she believes the teacher’s action was unacceptable.
@n_ahwal even retweeted posts shared by netizens regarding the rules and regulations of using social media in public sectors. Netizens shared their opinions on the teacher doing a live during class and who refused to accept comments advising her to end the live to focus on teaching her class.

Not long after the original tweet was posted, @n_ahwal shared that she received a DM from someone who claims to be friends with the teacher’s son. The person in the DM mentioned that while they don’t condone the teacher’s actions, they didn’t like how the teacher is being hated for a live broadcast and how the situation is now going viral.
Someone sent me a DM about Cikgu Nini.
1) I do not like people shaming her by calling her janda / andartu but I cannot control what people say.
2) My mothers, my sisters, and I myself are teachers and we do not normalize teaching live on tik tok. pic.twitter.com/gmKirq0fG0

@n_ahwal clarified that she also doesn’t like it when people use harsh words against the teacher but has no control over what people say. She also said that she herself and immediate family members are also teachers and that they do not normalise teaching live on TikTok.
