Nagsimula ang problema ng isang araw...ang co-teacher ko ay pumasok sa kanyang class advisory sa first period niya sa morning. Pero hindi siya ang first subject teacher nila sa am. Bali pumunta siya doon para echeck if wala bang na late sa kanyang mga students. Ngunit nalaman niya na halos sa mga officers sa kanyang klase ang na late sa araw na yon, pati ang president nila sa klase..na lagi na lamang niyang pinagsasabihan dahil halos araw-araw na itong na lalate sa klase na kung tutuusin ang bahay nila ay malapit lang talaga sa paaralan..lagi niya itong pinupuna at ni reremind subalit di pa rin nagbago..kaya sa araw na yon dahil halos lahat sila ay na late..nagalit na ng tuluyan ang kanilang adviser..binigyan sila ng punishment..ang punishment ay paikutin sila ng 10 beses sa ground ng patakbo... sa school namin hindi naman masyadong malayo mga 50 square meter lang ang layo na pag-iikutan nila..

Ang president nila according sa mama niya di daw dapat na mapagod dahil sickly daw ito..may history kasi siya na naoperahan sa kanyang esopahgus noong nasa grade 3 pa siya sa elementary. Nagkataon na na late siya sa araw na yon kaya kasali siya. Ngunit ng siya ay malapit na sana sa classroom nila siya ay nadapa..at sa pagkakadapa niya ay naitukod niya yong kamay na at according sa doctor na fracture dw yong kamay niya..

Dito nagsimula ang problema masyadong overprotective ang parents ng student..kaya di nakapagtataka na halos maghisterya ang mama ng student ng malaman ng ina ang nangyari sa anak..

Ayon sa isa pang teacher na nakita sa pangyayari..ang studyanteng yon ay di nman pala tumakbo ng tumakbo katulad ng kanyang klasmeyt kapag malapit na pala ito sa classroom nila saka palang siya aayos sa pagtakbo..Dahil nga na marami ang na late na mga officer at that time while giving the punishment ang adviser ay pumasok sa kanilang classroom at nagremind sa mga iba pang students at hindi niya nakita ang pangyayari ng madapa ang naturang estudyante..

Ang isang teacher namin ang nakakita sa pangyayari dahil nakaupo siya sa labas ng klasrum na katabi naman ng klasrum ng naturang studyante. Kaya agad niya itong sinaloklolohan, nagkagulo ang mga students sa ibang klasrum kaya naglabasan ang mga students at iba pang mga teachers sa ibang klasrum..

Dinala sa ospital ang naturang studyante ng mga lalaking teachers dahil may motor sila.. Dahil 3 teachers ang sumama sa ospital hindi na pinapunta ng aming principal ang adviser ng naturang student.
Nang dumalaw ang adviser sa ospital nagkataon na wala doon ang mga magulang ng student umuwi sa bahay.

Apat na araw siyang nakaratay sa ospital...Di na nakadalaw ang adviser dahil nagkataon naman na nagkaroon ng contest sa presscon at adviser siya sa nasabing event. Nagalit ng tuluyan ang mga magulang ng estudyante dahil wala daw pakialam ang adviser sa nangyari ng kanyang anak...kaya pumunta sa paaralan ang mga magulang para edemanda ang guro.

Dahil magdedemanda nga sila syempre nagkaharap sila..pati ang aming principal sa school...To make the story short...sa dami ng mga araw na paghaharap nila..Ang naging solusyon sa naturang problema na hinihingi ng mga magulang sa paaralan ay patalsikin ang nasabing guro sa paaralan..at yon nga ay nasunod dahil ipagpapatuloy nila ang nasabing kaso kung hindi aalis ang nasabing guro. Kaya pinagsabihan ng president ng school na magsubmit ng resignation ang guro at syempre dahil ayaw din ng gulo ng guro kaya sumang-ayon na lang siya kahit labag sa kanyang kalooban....

Ang tanong ko ay makatwiran ba ang ginawa ng paaralan sa pagsang-ayon nila sa magulang ng student sa hinihinging pagresign ng nasabing guro? Hindi kaya kalabisan ang kanilang hinihingi?

Kung sakaling lumaban ang guro sa demanda ng mga magulang talaga bang guilty siya?]]>

Cases like this should remind us of the need to have adequate legal protection for teachers and other school staff who, in the performance of their duties, may have to decide on things which parents may not agree afterwards. The issue in this case is why the adviser and the principal fail to bring the student to a hospital.

I do not know the procedures the school has (if it has any) over incidents like this, but prudence dictates that the parents of the child should have checked if the procedures of the school were followed. Also, they should have gone through the school's procedure of discipline over its employees before going to the media.

For the complete story: http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/parents-sue-school-staff

What is problematic here is that the newspaper published the names of the teacher and the principal, even before an actual case had been brought to court. In the interest of informing the public, the newspaper could have mentioned the incident, sans the names of the accused. There was nothing more to be gained by naming the teachers. If the newspaper could give difference to priests and bishops, why not to our teachers?]]>

1. Most teachers in the Philippines are overworked and/or underpaid for the amount of work they render.
2. The typical pay of teachers in the Philippines is not enough for further professional growth or even a decent family life.
3. There are insufficient legal safeguards against arbitrary dismissal of teachers in the Philippines, or they are not properly implemented.
4. The three-year minimum probationary period for teachers is too much and discriminatory against teachers and is incompatible with the Labor Code.]]>

i really need some guidance...

I know the path i will be taking by next year however

*sigh*

I'm kinda confused how i will proceed

maybe you can help me decide and make the BEST CHOICE.

here:

COURSE NUMBER 1: 10 day intensive course result: be a therapist and will be able to teach children with LEARNING disability (which I REALLY LOVE). There's qualifying exam for this so in case you won't pass you won't BE ABLE to take the course...this costs 60k plus i think.
Btw, this is under NILD...National institute for Learning Disability

COURSE NUMBER 2: 6months result: masters in special education.
I don't mind about the days that will be spent for studyin.I am focus on the learning.. I would love that however the range of specialization would be so wide that might not focus on what i really like which is TO be able to teach CHILDREN with LEARNING disability. cost:45K

So there..given these two course at hand i'm kinda confused.
So i hope you could enlighten me..

Please help me go to the path wherein I can teach the children that I

have been wanting to teach.. I feel that's my calling..

thanks alot !

Lookin forward to all your responses!

God bless and may you enlighten me!

Games of strategy, games that involve a lot of math, games that increase vocabulary, games that aid in psychomotor development.

In fact recently there was a study that sort of said Video Gaming was a positive influence on the youth.

Truth be told, the gaming (i.e. board games, card games, miniature games, as I have no information on video games) subpopulation which is predominantly the male youth have a substantially lower incidence of crime and violent behavior. As opposed to the general population.

The fact that you need to at the very least feel that you need brains for these games, as part of your identity, I believe makes you less prone to handle adverse situations violently and would rather use negotiation and intellectual "sparring" to resolve one's issues.

Also games such as the ones stated above encourage communication to resolve conflicts, since you have to discuss moves and strategy with your opponent instead of using your fists or having a computer "compute" the resolution of the conflict. This I believe encourages communication skills to be developed as part of the hobby.]]>

1. They can pay the honorarium of alternative learning teachers.
2. They can provide community learning centers where out of school youth and adults can take alternative modes of learning.
3. Barangay officials can provide transportation for mobile teachers.
4. The Sangguniang Kabataan can do their share by encouraging OSY
learners to join alternative learning classes.
5. In the absence of a mobile teacher in a community, barangay officials can identify potential alternative education facilitators in the barangay who can be trained by DepEd.
6. The barangay can also shoulder the cost for the reproduction of learning modules used in alternative learning system.

These things were enumerated in a press release issued by DepEd last Nov. 21. I think there are other ways that barangays can help in reaching out to OSY learners.]]>

The workshops and plenary sessions will be conducted by experts from the Asian Institute of Management and the academe.

The bulk of the participants will be from the different school divisions of the country, but there will also be people from DepEd central and the regional offices. Also, representatives from the PTCA will be present.

Hopefully there will be something good after this congress. (Am I too cynical?)

And yet, how many teacher positions have to be filled up every year? (This would simply be equal to new positions + vacanted positions - disappeared positions (e.g. in bankrupt schools).)

I think there are just way too many teachers in the Philippines right now. Yet many of these are not properly trained.

Even the LET is flawed; just ask anybody who had taken it. It does not truly measure if a person is competent to become a professional teacher.

OTH, the government is not implementing the provisions of the Professionalization of Teachers Act which mandates that only registered professional teachers could teach. I know of so many private schools whose teachers are not licensed.

Comments, anyone?]]>

What do you think would be the effect of the current economic crisis in both public and private schools in the Philippines?

For private schools, there can be an expected decrease in enrollment, with those catering to the middle class to be hit the hardest. The parents of these children will try to go to less expensive schools.
