Ito na namanโฆ teacher na naman ang sinisisi.
Honestly, the more I see and hear things like this, the more I realise why so many teachers choose to leave.
Ang dami nang challenges na hinaharap ng mga g**o...paperwork, workload, classroom management, responsibilities beyond teaching, pressure, at kung minsan, pati safety and protection concerns.
Dadagdagan pa ba natin ng sisi?
With all due respect, Madam, walang teacher ang gigising araw-araw at papasok sa classroom na ang goal ay turuan ang mga estudyante kung paano maging walang modo.
Walang teacher ang may pangarap na magkaroon ng magulong classroom.
Ang gusto ng teacher ay matuto ang bata, maging mabuting tao, magkaroon ng respeto sa kapwa, at magkaroon ng magandang kinabukasan.
Yes, teachers play an important role in shaping students. But values and behaviour are influenced by many factors. Hindi lang teacher ang may responsibilidad. Kasama rito ang pamilya, school environment, community, policies, at buong education system.
Kaya sana, bago natin sisihin ang teacher, tanungin muna natin:
Who protects the teacher?
Who listens to the teacher?
Who stands with the teacher when things go wrong?
Kasi minsan, hindi naman teacher ang kulang sa effort. Support system ang kulang.
Kaya ang daming umaalis eh.
As a former DepEd teacher, mas lalo kong nakikita kung gaano kahalaga ang isang environment where teachers are respected, supported, and trusted to do their job.
I still carry the heart of a Filipino teacher. ๐ต๐ญโค๏ธ
And I will always hope for the day when Filipino teachers can teach with respect, dignity, safety, and support...without having to leave the country just to find it.
