Teacher Taught Students How Their Parents Budget Their Money
A teacher in Lapu-Lapu City teaching his Grade 6 students how their parents budget their money every day goes viral.
Donald Osorio, a mathematics teacher, shared a video on social media reminding his students that it is not easy for their parents to budget their money. In the video, teacher Donald explained to his students how their parents earn money so that they can support their studies.
He also shared the computation of a parent’s salary for a day and how they budget it. He reminded his students that the P500 salary of their parents is not enough to feed them the entire family for one day.
“It’s not easy to make money. The basic salary today is an average of P500 daily. If there are four members in your family and you eat three times a day, it means the budget for a day is 12 heads,” said the teacher in Cebuano.
“If every meal is worth 50 pesos, the budget per day is 600 pesos which means that your parents’ salary is not enough. Then you say ‘mama still has money’ but that’s for the next day.”
“Your mom said ‘I don’t have any money’ and then you saw that your mom’s wallet was still full, don’t think she’s a liar because she’s going to use that money for the next day and you need 600 for eat.” he added.
The teacher appealed to the students not to ask for unnecessary things from their parents, especially if they don’t earn much. He also said he hopes they don’t sulk at their parents because they just want to budget their money.
“That’s why your parents work hard to send you to school so that you can have a better job and salary than them,” he said.
Teacher Donald’s video has gone viral on social media and earned various reactions from the online community. The video has earned 21k reactions, 1.4k comments, and 1.3 million views, as of writing.
