Grade 7 Student Sends Indecent Invitation to Female Teacher
A female teacher writes an open letter and expresses her frustration after receiving an indecent invitation from her Grade 7 student.
Recently, Cheska Reyes, a teacher and Facebook user, shared a difficult experience she faced in her profession. In an open letter posted on April 11, 2025, she opened up about receiving inappropriate remarks from one of her Grade 7 students.
The incident quickly spread like wildfire on social media and garnered various reactions from the online community.
Teacher Cheska discovered disturbing content in a student’s notebook, where the student had written offensive and sexual statements directed at her. This experience led to emotional distress and forced her to reflect on the challenges educators often face beyond teaching lessons in the classroom.
Alongside this, she also dealt with students involved in physical fights, which brought her to the guidance office more often than expected. Instead of mentoring sessions, her time there was spent managing conflicts and handling disciplinary actions that were not part of what she had imagined when she first chose to teach.
Despite all of this, Teacher Cheska continued showing up in class, doing her best to smile, check in on her students, and remind herself of the reason she entered the profession. Even during her lowest days, she held on to the belief that education can change lives and that every student has potential.

“An Open Letter to my fellow educators
As the 2024–2025 school year draws to a close, I find myself reflecting on a year that was as challenging as it was eye-opening. This has been a year of firsts—some of which I never expected to encounter so early, or perhaps ever, in my teaching career.
Teaching is often romanticized as a noble, fulfilling profession—and in many ways, it is. But behind the scenes, there are moments that test not only our patience, but our safety, resilience, and EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL strength.
One of the hardest realities I faced this year was being subjected to sexual harassment. It’s something no one prepares you for when you walk into a classroom hoping to inspire and educate. No training or seminar could have cushioned the blow of that experience. What followed was a series of difficult conversations, internal struggles, and the effort to continue showing up for my students each day while carrying an invisible weight.
I also found myself in the guidance office far more often than I anticipated—not for personal reflection or mentorship meetings, but because of students involved in physical fights. Breaking up altercations and dealing with the aftermath, whether emotional or procedural, became an unexpected part of my job description. It was exhausting and disheartening, and yet I learned the importance of advocating for mental health support and strong behavioral structures in our schools.
As if those weren’t enough, this year marked my first time completing a mountain of school forms—documentation, reports, requests, and evaluations. Learning the ropes while managing a classroom taught me a new level of organization and time management, but it also revealed the overwhelming burden teachers often carry behind the scenes.
Then there were the physical reminders of chaos: broken classroom materials. Desks scratched, chairs dismantled, resources treated with carelessness. It felt like every broken item was a reflection of the deeper challenges our students are facing—frustration, lack of accountability, maybe even cries for help.
And yet, amid all this, I kept going.
I kept teaching, smiling when I could, checking in on students even when I felt drained, and reminding myself why I chose this path. Not because it’s easy, but because I believe in the power of education to change lives—even when the system itself feels broken.
This year has been more than a professional experience—it has been a test of my identity, values, and passion. And despite everything, I still believe in the potential of this profession and the change we can create when we’re truly heard, protected, and supported.
To fellow educators: I see you.
And to my students: I hope you one day realize that even on my hardest days, I never stopped believing in you.”
