Reporter of Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper raised the issue: "There is an audio file that the teacher and many people also heard Ms. Truong Phuong Hanh use bad words in a meeting at school; she also answered reporters that she thought asking for a laptop was normal, that it was socializing education. Such naive statements from a teacher who has been standing on the podium for decades, so after the events that happened, does she have enough qualities to be a teacher in the classroom? So in the position of a teacher, an education manager, what does Mr. Long say?"

Mr. Long spoke from a teacher's perspective, analyzing two aspects. In his opinion, if he made such a statement, from a teacher's perspective, it would not be acceptable, but it is necessary to consider many aspects and many issues.
