A Reddit user shared the whiteboard message on the R/Bolehland subreddit, asking for opinions on the situation.
Netizens were divided with some expressing sympathy for the teacher. Others, however, admonished the teacher for grammatical errors.
On 15 May, a Reddit user made a post titled “Requesting opinion” on the Bolehland subreddit.
According to the post, the image shared was a message left by a teacher after the teacher caught some students playing games on their iPads.
The OP added context by saying that the private school they attend used “iPads as the book.”
The message on the whiteboard started with a typical greeting. However, the second line simply states: “I hate talking to you guys already.”
It then tells students to do what they wish in class.
“If you still think of me as a teacher, you can write your essay in your book,” read the message.
The post drew much attention with many of the top comments offering sympathy to the teacher.
Some comments encouraged the students to apologize to the teacher even if they weren’t the ones caught misbehaving in class.

Another commenter, claiming to be a teacher, shed light on the difficulties of being an educator.
“Today many students don’t just lack the knowledge but they lack the capabilities to behave,” they said.
However, they also criticised the teacher for their “textbook level grammar mistakes”.
