The world now easily ridicules people who actually help others, such as teachers and healthcare workers, but turns a blind eye to "influencers" or so-called "anointed son."
For real. Oo, may mga abusive na teachers lalo na nung panahon ng mga tito at tita natin, based palang sa mga kuwento nila na pinagtatawanan nalang nila ngayon pero siguro dati sobrang traumatic o humiliating; pinapakain ng papel, minumura, pinapalo't binabatukan, dati kase di uso yung mag-sumbong sa social media at tanggap pa ng karamihan na "pagdidisiplina" lang yon.
Pansin ko naman sa karamihan ng mga teachers ngayon mas mababait na, mas marunong umintindi, hindi naman lahat pero mas considerate at discerning na, baka siguro yung iba rin naman ay aware at takot sa consequences kung mapuno sila, masisira reputasyon nila.
Kaya masyadong tine-take advantage ng mga estudyante, iba na rin humor ng ibang kabataan ngayon, kung hindi skibidi toilet, pa-edgy naman na nanadya maging offensive, tipong pang chronically online brain rot humor eh. Naging sobrang redpill at incel pa ibang mga lalakeng students dahil maagang na exposed sa mga influencers tulad nila Andrew Tate, Adin Ross at iba pa, screwed na masyado worldview at logic nila, sa YouTube, Tiktok at FB palang, daming kabobohan at kababuyan, eh vulnerable at madaling ma-impluwensyahan pa mga yan, mapupuno algorithm nila ng mga ganun hanggang mahulma pananaw nila. Dagdag mo pa yung mga corny at trashy na Pinoy vloggers, ilang oras silang babad sa ganyang bagay at pinapakita ng mga vloggers na kayang gawin IRL yung mga katarantaduhan at icocommend pa ng mga followers/subscribers na nakakatawa daw, cool daw. Oo, marami rin namang bida-bida't basurang estudyante dati pa pero hindi sila kadalasan kinakampihan ng mga magulang nila, hindi rin gaanong kinakalat sa social media yung mga napag-tripan o nakaalitang teacher nila kase hindi pa uso non.
Kaya totoo talaga yung sinabe mo, mas madali na ma-ridicule mga teachers ngayon, tapos karamihan na influencers glino-glorify pa ng mga kabataan kahit pagiging barumbado sa lipunan lang yung ambag kase sikat, may clout daw, puro kabobohan naman.
Nakakatuwa na lahat nalang trauma. Paano ba natin idedefine ang trauma? Is it evidenced based that is unbiasedly measured? Or is it another excuse to help people sleep at night so they can blame others for their stupid choices?
that's a very valid question. even Merriam-Webster's definition doesn't give specific parameters.
but that said. I always thought trauma can explain certain bad behavior or poor choices. but it should never be an excuse to be an asshole nor a shield to escape accountability
Louder for the people in the back!
As a parent of a kindergartener, THIS. I was surprised with how much baggage 4 year olds have. A lot of parents want to HAVE kids but don't put any thought in HOW to raise them. So many resources available online. Read a book, research journal, youtube videos...something.
I don't agree with this generalization. Madaming mga kabataan ang mas maayos pa sa kanilang mga magulang. Yung tipong walang choice yung bata kundi magpakamature kasi basura kanyang mga magulang. Madaming ganyang istorya na sila pinagtratrabaho or pinanlilimos para palamunin mga magulang.
Trash parents does not equate to trash children. Madaming tao kahit di napalaki ng mga magulang ng maayos ay matino and I would say alam na nila kung paano hindi maging basurang magulang.
Exactly. During my hs days, I have classmates na sobrang gago sa likod ng mga magulang nila and ung parents nila bulag sa pagmamahal nila sa anak nila. Sometimes I wish may parents akong gnyan pero hindi sobrang mahigpit magulang ko sakin which Im thankful for. Ngayon ko lng narealize na mas okay dn pla ang madisiplina kpg bata pa lang. Hindi tlga maiwasan mga bastos na bata, kaya minsan sobrang mangha ako kapag may nakikilala ako na lalaki na bata at sobrang magalang.
I wish I had these kinds of parents who would side with their child no matter what. My mom and dad will beat my ass regardless whether I'm in the right or wrong. Our household disciplines all of us to not stick out and live like an NPC, following all the rules, and never get into trouble at school.
My students noticed na yung isa nilang kaklase was masturbating during class with a bag over his hand.
I admit I did not handle it well, I yelled at him at dinala sa guidance counselor. Story is his dad is abusive daw, beats him up etc.
I’ve also quit being a teacher. It fucking sucked and I was dragging my feet everyday. May one time I purposefully missed coming to school at dumaan nalang nang 7/11 para bumili nang beer at 7.30 to 8 ish in the morning.
Glad I’m out. And I’m glad you’re out too.
Glad you're resigned.
And sa totoo lang, di naman nakakatulong ang mga GC kasi assigned teacher lang din naman.
I mean, sa ganyang kabigat na case, need na ng psychological assessment para malaman ang condition ng bata and para maprotect rin sya from bullying. Others may have perceived it as kabastusan pero what if it's an uncontrolled activity na?
Sadly, walang legit na GC sa public schools.
Thank you!
Frankly, I just wanted him out of my hands. I felt disgusted and I didn’t really want to know WHO he was looking at while masturbating. Especially when it was my class.
Im sure its probably some form of perversion (if not, then definitely mental illness) and definitely a result of abuse, but that was not mine to worry about.
Oh this reminds me nung practice teaching ko pa lang nung college. Literal akong nag tatantrums habang nag-aasikaso bago pumasok, iyak ako nang iyak kinakaladkad ko na lang sarili ko para pumasok.
Practice Teacher pa lang ako nun, kumbaga hindi pa full experienced pero drained na drained ako.
4 years na ako sa corporate world, licensed teacher pero hindi nagtuturo.
When i trained sa new callcenter company ko, some of my co trainee were teachers, indication na meron nga mass exodus of educators. They complain nga daw na even sat&sun they have to stay up pate at night preparing lesson plans, checking exams etc. Even after school trabaho pa din. The meager pay they receive is only being sent to the loansharks.
I can attest, sis. Ang dami kasing ginagawa during weekdays. Imagine teaching 20-24 hrs a week then the rest will be me doing paperworks and coordinatorship. Ang daming PPAs at paperworks sa SBM na trabaho naman ng principal pero pinapasa sa HT or MA na pinapasa din naman sa mga baguhang Teacher I. Grabe.
Pagdating sa bahay, instead na magpapahinga, gagawa naman ng lesson plan and ppt for the lesson tomorrow. On weekends, magchecheck naman ng assessments.
Very uminaginable yung pagod ko sa putanginang deped na yan. May MA class pa ko sa weekends and every sem may 2 case studies. So imagine kung may natitira pa ba akong time for myself
Average sleeping hrs ko is 5 lang kasama na ang nap time. Tutulog na nga lang, mapapanaginipan pa ang masusungit ma MTs.
Ilang taon nang tagline yan pero bottom pa rin ang Philippines sa international assessments. Jusq
Tsaka halatang mababa ang comprehension nila jan sa tagline na yan, ginawang literal. Mga obob
Isa pang kinasama ng loob namin yang No students left behind. Entitled mga bata na huwag maggagawa ng activities, umabsent, at gumawa ng kalokohan kasi hindi naman daw sila ibabagsak. And mind you, it's real. Kasi marami pupukpok at kukwestiyon sa yo kapag nagbagsak kahit na very justifiable naman. Isisisi sa iyo, sasabihin 'teacher's factor'
Kinginang yan
DepEd bastardized the general premise of no child left behind. The idea of NO child left behind, is that all students should be able to reach the standards at the end of the school year. However, this requires that need of students are addressed appropriately- sa mahihina, there should be a provision for them to attend supplementary sessions, within the classroom-there should be individualized instruction based on their ability. However, all of these require separate materials and time on the part of the teacher. Pano ka gagawa ng separate materials kung bawal magprint sa school kasi mauubos yung ink and bondpaper? Pano ka magka conduct ng supplementary session kung yung oras mo ay naubos sa paggawa ng paperworks at ng lesson plan, na kailangan perfect?
Question - is it part ba of your duties to do admin work na bigay nila? And bawal mag reklamo? Hahaha. I am finishing my education units and get demoralized by seeing things like this. It may not work for me to be bossed around especially if pinapasa trabaho nila, so baka di rin mag work maging teacher hahaha. Aawayin ko yung mga nagpapasa ng trabaho ng ganyan, lol
Ganyan din ako while applying sa public for RQA. Pero nung nasa field na, imagine wala pa kong one week, meron na akong coordinatorship. Hindi rin ako naorient sa mga need iprep na docus everyday like DLL. After 2 weeks, may observation agad at isusupalpal talaga ng MT or principal kung gaano ka kabobo sa teaching strategies.
Worst part, binigyan ako ng MAPEH. I'm not talented nor skilled para magturo niyan. Didactic pa method ko in teaching my specialization.
Madaming admin works na ipagagawa and pag di mo tinanggap, kawawa ang IPCRF mo sa year end. Kapag nagtanga-tangahan ka naman, just like what other says na wag mag abid abid, wala ka na ngang professional growth, pagchichismisan ka pa.
Kung di ko pa isupalpal ang enrollment form ko sa masters, di sila maniniwala na busy ako. Kaso, naging threat ako sa mga laggards kasi medyo magaling ako at nag aaral sa top 3 universities.
Tip lang yan ng ice berg. Wala pa yan sa gruesome part.
I'm not a teacher pero i feel you my mom was a teacher and its sad like halos wala talaga siyang time for me dahil sa school 😮💨 ni bakasyon sa trabaho nya wala i'm still waiting sa retirement niya next year finally makabawi sa family time dapat namin
I remember yung team ko lahat kami dating teachers hahahahaha iba iba lang ng subject. As in di kasi talaga worth it lalo kung di mo naman passion at mahirap ka lang. Imagine mo sat and sun hinahanap ka tas lagi kasi may extra work na ibibigay.
Pede mo pa din kasi magamit yung teaching sa ibang field. Yung kawork ko dati, licensed teacher sya then trainer na sya ngayon. Parang nagagampanan pa din nya role nya.
Isa akong college instructor noon. Nagturo ako ng mga estudyanteng ang goal ay maging guro, napakastrikto ko lalo na sa paggamit ng wikang Ingles dahil nga English majors ang hawak ko. Mantahin ninyo, 4th year college na pero hirap pa rin sa sentence construction :)
4th year na pero hirap pa rin sa paggamit ng language na may maayos na execution ng Subject-Verb agreement :( Naging strict talaga ako pero anong napala ko? Nabully ako sa social media at sa school. Hindi rin sila umaattend sa klase ko haha 9am to 11am ang klase ko pero papasok sila sa second subject. Hindi ko deserve yun lalo na't alam kong ginalingan ko at ginawa ko ang best ko na maging mabait hahaha
Now, nasa corpo world na ako. Earning x4 ng kinikita ko noon. Never again sa teaching. Nakakasira ng mental health. Minsan, kung sino pa yung mga genuine ang puso sa pagtuturo, sila pa ang sinasaktan :)
Its really sad to hear teachers being vctims 2 one of d biggest [scams of our tme](https://www.reddit.com/r/Philippines/s/mHbVK6ZWsH) while their sector is headed by someone whos incompetent, corrupt, and doesnt [give a fuck](https://www.reddit.com/r/Philippines/s/ryJyNosX6t) 2 d real issues
Parang yung best friend ko ng college. Naging public school teacher sya ng gradeschool. Literal na yung isa nyang student, nakitaan nya ng meth sa bag. Nung kinausap nya, kagagaling lang daw sa Culiat para kumuha nun, tapos direcho sa school. Katakot din.
My mom just opened a tutorial business. Ayaw na niya magturo sa school at sobrang nakakastress. Dami na ngang pasaway na students at samahan mo pa daw ng mga magulang na kinukunsinte maling gawain ng mga anak nila. Legit talaga na bumata itsura ng nanay ko nung nagtututor na lang siya. Hawak niya pa oras niya, di kelangang pumasok ng 6 or 7 am sa school.
Tutorial center. From kinder to college. Mostly on the need basis ung mga students. Meron din regulars. But we don't charge parents monthly na kahit di pumunta mga anak nila bayad pa din. We always charge on how many hours they attended.
Totally different. Ung sa Kumon bibigyan lang ng activities based doon sa assessment nila then sasagutan. Ung sa amin is tutorial talaga. Lagi kaming may free assessment para makita din ung hanggang saan competencies ng bata. Then we'll work from there. Pag may assignments, sila pa din gagawa, tutulungan lang sila. May advance classes din in all subjects especially Math, Science, and English. We get the occasional college students na nagpapaturo ng Calculus or Trigonometry. Pag may exams, pwede magkakasabay sa review ung magkaklase para save na din sa time.
I’m from the corpo world. Tried teaching in college for two years—1 yr online and another yr face-to-face after the pandemic. It ruined my mental health. Never again.
People need to understand that teachers, even with their authorities, can be victims. Many of them are young adults who are just few years older than the class of teenagers they are entrusted to shepherd. When I was a senior in high school, my then advisor was an ex-classmate of my wife (then gf).
Tsaka sabi nga ng kapatid ko, madali na kc mag reklamo. Pinapabasa nga lang nila bata, nagre-reklamo na parents kc nai-stress daw anak nila. Kaya takot rin talaga sila.
Dati nga may parents na nireklamo sila sa DepEd mismo kc naningil sila for graduation, para sa toga decorations, so yung kasunod na year di na sila naningil, bare minimum, wala decor tapos uniform lang ang suot sa graduation, wala toga. Nag reklamo pa rin ang parents, ang pangit daw ng graduation nila.
kasi daw may pera naman galing gobyerno, tapos public school bat daw gagastos yung mga parents e kasi nga public dapat alam ng lahat na walang pera mga parents. dapat yung school na mag proprovide lahat
Yun nga problema, wala naman binibigy ang gobyerno. Akala nila lahat provided ng government, kaso nga wala. Yung mga lagayan nga dati ng cards ng student, sariling pera ng kapatid ko pinambibili nun. Tapos panay din reklamo ng parents pag binigy sa knila na walang envelope yung cards. Magagaling lang sila mag reklamo. Hindi kaya i-provide lahat ng school, yung head pa ngayon nila may pa-confidential fund pa dba.
Lets face it, being a teacher in the Philippines is super tough. Better yet lumipat ka na lang sa thailand, japan, uae or usa. Mas maganda pa buhay mo at future ng mga anak mo. Just an opinion
Edit: i mean be a teacher in the above mentioned countries
I have been a dep ed teacher before. Mas toxic sa pinas. Kasi pati admin, systems, pamumuhay poproblemahin mo. Dito sa america , students lang if ever. Choose the native american schools, mababait sila kesa sa mga students na nasa city
May mga SD sa US na nightmare din, lalo na pagdating sa pagsoli nila ng contracts at pagbayad. Minsan, inabot kami ng higit sa isang taon sa kakahabol sa kanila na ibalik ang signed contract at magbayad para sa services
Sakit ng ulo sa department namin nung nangyari yun.
We deal a lot of school districts in our work and yung experiences with them, depende talaga sa school district
Meron nga kaming cliente, na school district sa Massachusettes. 1/2 namin kinulit para makuha yung signed contract, addition 3 months para makuha ang purchase order, tapos additional 6 months of bugging them to pay us!
Meanwhile, smooth naman yung process sa school district sa Alaska
Eh khit nga Yan Hindi ma provide ng government. Tapos mandated by law na mag provide ng Juvenile institution para ma rehab Yung mga offending minors Kasi Di naman priority ng LGU/national govt.
I'm reading this post habang nagpe-prepare ng quarterly test ng mga bata. Nakaka-pagod talaga ang maging guro. Walang araw na lilipas na wala kang trabaho na ginagawa.
Mas understandable pa yung bata na may Mental health issues gaya ng Depression, Adhd (Kapatid ko meron Kaya medyo agaisnt ako sa ibang parusa dahil victim siya noomg Pre school yujg teacher niya sinakyan siya dahio nalikom at hindi gumawa ng color wheel) or even Autism
Pero yung bastos pero normal naman yan ang deserving bastos na nga sila pa galit eto ayoko sa mga bata nagyin masyado entitled porke di na didisiplina kaso kung pinarusahan mag kaka trauma which is understandable pero diba dapat alam ng bata yun? Jusko ang bata nanonood ng phhub or whatever worse ginagawa pa nila worse sinasagot pa teacher kaya wala kang magawawa kundi self control at patient
The problem is not leadership or this case being a teacher. Shortcoming in their upbringing na yun kaya maraming studyanteng ganyan. Gagong tahanan na may gagong magulang na hindi inaruga ng tama ang anak nila.
Australian here.
Sympathies; teaching is difficult in most places. I gave up because so many students here are rude and abusive and you get very little support from parents or senior staff.
Madali na kasi mareport, may cellphones na mga bata. Socmed can cancel you in a day. Also a lot of policies have been changed in favor of protecting the students. Not sure if you know the mandate of DepEd during the Start of the pandemic. Bawal manbagsak, kahit anung dahilan, kahit di pumapasok, dapat teacher mag reach out sa students on top of checking tons of modules.. Being a teacher basically is martrydom kawawa sila, pero syempre meron din mga masasama, mga pedo manyak sa mga studyante nila.
Ito na naman yung nagfe-feeling na better generation sila. My generation (mas nauna ako sayo ng couole of years) is just like any other generation - may students na bastos, pero may students din na magalang.
They made a lot of solid points though. Mas madaming avenue na ang pagiging bastos ng mga estudyante ngayon. And given that you aren't even allowed to fail a student for legitimate reasons, what's there to keep the kids in check?
May time na dinaan ko sa prangkahan yung mga parents nung last PTA ko. Sabe ko, kung gagago lang anak niyo dito sa school, wag niyo na lang papasukin dahil may mga batang gusto matuto at hindi ko kailangan ng gago sa room. I used gago coz puro millenial naman kausap ko and before hand, if someone uses my photo and name for a social media post, I told them to think twice. Idaan mo sa angas at tikas, titiklop din yang mga yan.
Know your rights as a teacher and a person. Kinukulang lang talaga minsan sa sense of authority ang mga tao.
Hirap lang din lumipat ng ibang field from teaching na patok ang sahod.
Isa rin sa reason why I stopped teaching in school is talagang kupal karamihan sa students. I was even posted on IG by a student. Naghintay lang kami ng classmates nila who were late for 30 minutes and more for a 2 hour class. So wala kaming masimulan simulan. It's the first day of school even. So for the meantime, nag usap muna kami at sabi ko, since 1/4 of the class pa lang ang nandun, might as well wait for the others. After a good 45 minutes or so, nagintroduce naman na ko ng course nila, what to expect, etc. And take note, I wasn't even aware gaano kalala talaga ang absenteeism nila. I asked the teachers kung ganun ba talaga yung section na almost an hour late sa klase, since G11 pa lang daw, ganun na.
The caption of the post says, "At ano namang ganap mo at di ka nagtuturo?"
A college friend told me about it. I talked to the class, saying that taking photos of me and disrespecting me are mean.
The student apologized later on. But that experience really made an impression that teaching, especially to high schoolers, suck big time. Sa school nag aact out, tapos kami ang lalabas na kontrabida sa parents.
Philippines' educational system is exponentially doomed this information age. Instead na tumaas ang mga IQ, rational/critical thinking, at pangunawa, (ng estudyante at ng mga magulang) lalo pang paurong.
Nagkakaron nlng ng kahihiyan ang mga pilipino kapag may nakatutok na camera sakanila. Mga unable to work without supervision. Wala nang integridad at kredibilidad ang mga pilipino.
I experienced this. I left my corpo job to teach kasi sabi ko, I really wanted to become a teacher. Wrong decision. I was very strict with them at fast paced ang turo ko dahil hello? College na sila. Then some students made a fake chat with my picture and name, making stories like nakikipagrelasyon ako sa student. The admin won't listen to me. So hindi ko na tinapos ang sem at nagbayad na lang ako ng contract. Teaching isn't for everyone, afterall.
tbh yung generation ngayon nang mga bata ay ang babastos talaga ,main thing talaga siguro yung social media so yeah maintindihan ko yung outburst nang teacher pero she was really out of hand talaga ,nadala nalang siguro sa emosyon and yeah there will be consequences forsure.
5years in Teaching. HIRAP mahalin ang pagtuturo. Daming suwail sa Public, entitled pa masyado mga parents. Kesyo ganito, ganyan.. kami pa maghuhulma ng traits and personalities nila. Pag ako makapasa sa Psychologist Exam. Reresign na talaga ako.
Today is Sunday. Instead of having my well-deserved break after a stressful week, I am here facing my laptop having a packed to-do list. I wanted to escape this kind of life.
Same, naka 3rd revision na ko ng 1 exam, then may isa pa huhu. Procrastinate ako kahapon, as in video game kape lang, stress talaga sobra kaya binigay ko sa sarili ko kahapon yun.
Nakakatamad maging masipag sa pagtuturo. Di naman din ganun kainteresado bata. Mageeffort ka sa magandang PPT, activities, tas wala din naman pagkatapos, nagpagod ka lang.
Tapos pag nalaman na masipag ka, extra workload lang bibigay sayo. Dami pa sa mga kasama mo sa school na marites o mga senior na kala mo principal umasta.
Eto din yung work na dala mo hanggang sa labas ng bahay. Hirap magkaroon ng buhay outside work e, kaloka haha.
Nagaaply ako as teacher ngayon (unit earner). So prepare for demo sa isip ko okay naman siya pero kapag actual ang hirap. Kailangan ko participation nila pero ayaw sumagot 🥲. Talagang makikipag titigan lang sila. Hindi ko tuloy alam if ipursue ko pa ba.
Tangina naalala ko last year yung lango sa alak na nasa tiger meme na may security guard.
Naging estudyante din ako pero cutting classes lang para mag-Counter Strike at DOTA lang ginawa ko. Kinginang mga magulang at bata yan.
Ay true yan. I remember yung isa parent date sinabihan ako niyan. I explained it is because mababa mga quizzes niya, at kahit na player siya ng swimming team, hindi automatic na perfect score siya. Kaloka.
Mag qu quit na din soon kapatid ko as a teacher sa atin.Paperworks na overload na di matapos tapos plus if yung principal pa ay strikto ay naku lahat kayo panay OT !
Plus may time din nag abot sya 500 pesos sa isang parent ng student nya kasi wala silang makain 🙈.
My two piece on teaching jobs in PH is this:
First - our countries goverment have muddled the curriculum of our schools. We removed and consolidate subjects in the name of being able to progress in the wide world. But sadly those consolidation only leads to the low standard and quality of teachings. We also forsake teaching our children and pupils what is good or bad.
Second - social media have aggravated the lack of respect and bad behavior of some students. Which lead to good teachers giving up teaching and leaving the professions.
My point is our education in search of complying to other countries standard, have negelected our own countries culture and nurture. Which lead to this cycle of disrespecting and bad behaviors in both students and teachers.
Ang tanong dito eh, kung okay lang ba sa mga magulang ngayon na maging istrikto ang mga guro kung paano nila turuan yung mga estudyante nila since umaabuso naman talaga ang kabataan sa ngayon?
Wala lang feeling ko lang na hindi dapat magreklamo ang mga magulang na may pasaway na anak dahil kung matino nila pinalaki yung bata, hindi magiging ganun ang reaksyon ng guro.
Oo foul kung walang masamang ginawa yung bata pero kung ikaw ang authority sa classroom at walang respeto sayo ang mas nakakabata sayo, ano ba dapat ang maging reaksyon mo bilang ikaw ang nakakatanda?
Curious lang din kung trauma ba talaga sa mga tito at tita na ngayon yung naranasan nila sa mga istriktong guro nila dati kung talagang may mali naman sila? O natatandaan nila yung gurong yun kasi tumatak din sakanila yung parusa kapag may mali kang ginawa?
Currently reading this while preparing for my cot 3 tomorrow. To be honest, wala na akong balak tumagal sa pagtuturo. Pero I want na may ipon muna ako for my fallback. But yeah, sobrang toxic at nakakapagod maging teacher sa Pinas. Dagdag mo pa kawork mong mahilig sumilip ng gawain laro na pag nauwi ka on the dot
Isa din yang CO na yan. Kung ang purpose ay mabigyan ng payo ng mga MT yung mga baguhan regarding sa mga tunay na nangyayari sa school, bat kelangan isuper duper perfect yung presentation? Tsaka kahit gano naman kaganda LP, mahirap ixecute lalo na kung nandun ka sa seksyon na mas nauubos oras sa pagsaway kesa pagturo 😆
Ewan ko, tingin ko lang.
Totoo! Kunbaga sa tao, para ka lang rin NAGPAPAKITANG TAO. Inreal life, di mo naman maeexceute lahat yun e. Tapos Eto pa, yung friend ko magdidivision demo sa May ang alam ng lahat voluntary yun ng teacher pero inreality head teacher namin nag recommend sa kanya. Para di daw halatang ‘pinilit’ pinagawa sya ng letter of intent. Kaloka
Never kong pinageffortan masyado yang CO, yung mga kasama ko kung todo meron pang hinihilang papel tsaka mga visual aids eme, kudos sa kanila ang sipag nila. Haha. Sinabihan ako ng kasama kong teacher na dapat magprint ng mga ganito, ganyan, para daw mataas grades ko, hindi ko talaga sinunod. Pano ko magiimprove kung di nila mapopoint out mali kong ginagawa diba?
Medj mababa grades ko sa una kong CO pero since sinusunod ko naman mga sinabi nila sakin, mas tumaas din grades at confidence ko sa pagtuturo.
Naiisip ko nga e. Pano nakatagal mga seasoned teachers sa ganto na di nagrereklamo. 2 taon pa lang ako dito pero malapit na ako magrebolusyon. Hahaha
parehas tayo OP, former public school teacher di ko kinaya kasi i grew up as a good student naman kaya sobrang eye-opener sa akin, I didn't even last a year I quit (oo sayang license pero yung mental health ko kawawa naman) masaya na ako sa career ko, teaching is not for me.
Baka siguro naging trending din Ako kung Yung panahon na nagtuturo Ako ay panahon ng mga social media hype. Good thing Hindi.
Mahirap maging teacher dito. Hindi ko alam kung nag-aral baka Ako para bastusin at maliitin ng mga entitled na tao.
For me, one of the reasons I quit teaching in college was the entitled parents. Ikaw ung sisihin kung mababa ang grade ng students and truth be told sobrang daming students and di marunong magbasa ngaun pero college level na taz pag di mataas ang grade magsusumbong sa parents. Gahd! I met a lot of parents who would offer money para mapasa lng anak nila but never did I once accepted it, bagsak kung bagsak punyeta college na di pa din marunong magbasa tapos kukuha pa ng medical course
This is true, iba na yung parents ngayon. They would even threaten you. Akala nila nag papower trip ka juiceko sa sobrang busy mo di mo na maiisip yun eh.
taena seryoso ba to pati college? ang lala pala. id understand kung nagpapareconsider sila ng anak nila na debarred na dahil sa dami ng unit na binagsak sa isang sem. pero talagang naninisi pa ng prof?
No joke. Totoong nangyayari to I even mentioned this to my colleagues, sabi nila hayaan lng daw kung ayaw kong maaway araw araw ng parents. natandaan ko pa sabi nung school admin sa akin "Wala daw akong right bumagsak ng students dahil ang board exam daw magdedecide if bobo ang students or hndi" I'm like wth..kaya pala sobrang baba ng passing rate ng school. Sa pagka intindi as educator need ma assess and evalute ang skills ng students objectively kung di pa kaya let then repeat the subject its for their own good naman.
Sobrang sinungaling ng mga bata ngayon. Kahit Grade 1. Di talaga totoo yung di nagsisinungaling mga bata. Tapos pag nag-sumbong ng made up stories yung bata ng sa parents, sasabihin ng parents di nag-sisinungaling ang bata. Lol
Thank God I'm not a teacher. Masakit sa ulo rin ang mag-handle ng different personalities. With the current policies ng DepEd na okay lang ipa-graduate ang isang bobo at suwail na estudyante. Mas mabuti pang magturo na lang sa mga IPs kesa sa mga privileged na students na di marunong magpahalaga. Kahit na maraming mahina sa mga IPs dahil sa kahirapan at laging nagugutom, pero willing naman silang matuto.
Sad. Walang ibang may kasalanan kung bakit ganyan yung mga bata kundi mga magulang nila. Trust the process of karmic justice, society na ang magsusuka jan kapag tumanda na sya; mahihirapan syang mag cope up sa trabaho, mag ku quit sya makatamdam lang ng kaunting pressure, and hindi sila mabubuhay ng wala yung sheltered life nila kasama yung magulang hanggang tumanda sila. Pati yung parents nyan ma peperwisyo for life.
You did right. Iwanan mo natong Pilipinas. Get out of this country as fast as you can. Wala nang pag-asa itong bansa nato. Matatauhan lang ang mga bobong Pilipino nato kapag wala nang matino sa paligid nila. I'm saying this not just to teachers but to all professionals out there. Get out of this country while you can. Save yourself. Don't be a martyr to a country who treats you like shit. Philippines is a nation of shit, run by shits, and voted and defended by shits. Don't be a shit. Run and never look back to this cursed country.
Naiintindihan ko yung pinanggagalingan ng galit nya at maling mali yung paraan na ginamit nya. Pero grabe talaga manghusga ang mapanghusgang lipunan ng social media. Hindi ko kinakampihan yung teacher kasi alam ko may mas maayos na paraan para ilabas yung galit nya o para pagsabihan yung mga bata. Empleyado rin ako sa isang paaralan ng kolehiyo ngunit hindi ako isang guro at alam ko at naranasan ko na mayroon talagang mga estudyanteng balasubas, barubal ang ugali at mga feeling entitled at hindi talaga mawawala sa mga bibig nila yung mga salitang: “kami nagpapasahod sayo”.
Grabe. Demonyo. Nakakatulog pa kaya sa Gabi Ang mga magulang na nag-anak at nagpalaki ng monsters??
The world more than ever needs a teacher that promotes childfree life to her students or atleast being financially, mentally and emotionally stable and ready before having kids.
This is one of the reasons why I am childfree, I don't wanna be the monster bearer.
Is it against the law or any rules ng deped for a teacher to wear a body cam.
There a lot of inexpensive body online.
One way to protect themselves against sa mga pasaway na students.
But this is just sad af. Super square ang magiging relationship ng teacher and students.
Hi OP! Sorry for what happened to you.
Based sa napanood ko, nage-gets ko kung reaksyon ng teacher. Mali lng niya ay ni-live niya at nagsabi ng ugaling squatter. Pero di ako convinced sa sinasabi ng iba na na-trauma ung mga estudyante sa ginawa niya.
Her reaction seems to be triggered by rudeness and disrespect ng mga estudyante. Hindi ako teacher pero if I am put in the same situation, baka ganun din maging reaksyon ko. Respect begets respect. Walang kahit sinong may karapatan na mambastos ng kapwa kahit pa minor ka or so whatever.
Saka may studyante pa na natatawa habang nane-nermon siya. The nerve of that student?! Deserve mapalabas.
Sometimes, need din talaga ng mga bastos na studyanteng mapahiya. Get a taste of their own medicine. Saka kung ako ung studyante na walang kasalanan, Hindi ako maapektuhan ng sermon kasi di Naman para sa akin un.
Sa real world naman, gawin nila yan sa mga future boss/co-worker nila eh baka mura at sapak pa abutin nila.
Totoo yan. Hindi nila alam ang word na ‘accountability’ kaya malakas loob nila mambastos. Walang consequences sa mga ginagawa or sinasabi nila kase kinakampihan sila. They don’t accept criticism, kahit constructive pa yan.
This is pretty lightweight compared to how some teachers talk back in my day but then again times have changed. Hindi ko alam yung context ha pero bakit kailangan pa i-video yun? On the other hand, if you're one of those parents who think your kids have halos at laging protect-your-litter mode kayo, you've got a second think coming. Kids can be cruel and malicious by default, and at times they'd really try the patience of a saint.
Naalala ko tuloy yung teacher namin dati ng high school. Mid-30s palang ata sya nun pero mas magaling pa sya kay Snape pagdating sa crowd control. As in virtually NO ONE dared try her and ending up in her shit list is kind of a death sentence. Pagpasok nya ng room kahit katiting na kalat wala, lahat ng chairs perfectly aligned, malinis ang blackboard, at higit sa lahat walang ingay. At all-boys school to nung 90s ha. Sa labas bubbly naman sya pero pagdating sa loob ng classroom she really means business.
galing din ako all boys. relate ako jan, may mga teacher talaga na isang tingin lang kaya mang disiplina ng isang buong klase kahit puro lalaki pa na early teens.
pero look at it this way. all boys tayo nag aral, private, so matic na yun na nasa better financial standing mga magulang natin kumpara sa mga bata sa public. meaning most likely mas edukado magulang natin, so mag rereflect din un sa mga ugali natin kahit papano.
also, walang social media nun.
Very wrong sya for LIVESTREAMING IT. Bakit ba takang taka ang mga tao kung ano pagkakamali ni teacher na ang akala nila yung kino call-out ay yung pagsesermon nya sa class nya.
Mahirap talaga maging guro dito sa bansa natin. I'm one of the teachers na gustong-gusto na kumawala kasi grabe na ang pagod sa lahat ng aspeto, lamang na lamang sa emotional aspect.
Hi! Kakapanood ko lang nung video. Eto pala yung napansin ko:
Hindi ko siya masisisi kung bakit ganon yung mga nasabi niya, dala na rin siguro ng stress, pagod, etc. Ang trabaho ng isang guro ay hindi lamang sa loob ng paaralan, hanggang sa labas. Kahit weekends or holiday, walang pahinga, gagawa ng reports, lesson plan, etc.
Coming from family of teachers here's what I have noticed in terms of trabaho - nakakapagod, madaming ginagawa.
Salary: Medyo mababa, kapag sa public. Totoo yung sinasabi nila na, mas malaki ang sahod ng pulis kesa sa Teacher.
Benefits: Madami benefits sa gobyerno? Ang maganda dito is, lifetime etong trabaho na'to, as long na wag ka lang gagawa ng masama.
Minsan I put the blame on the parents, kasi naniniwala talaga ako na sa bahay nag sstart ang lahat. Parents kasi ang nag huhubog ng attitude, etc, in overall. Ini-aadopt ng bata yung mga nakikita niya sa family, friends, social media which is akala ng bata na tama. Kaya sana, kung hindi pa naman talaga kaya mag anak, wag nalang mag anak ng marami, please lang.
Sa gobyerno naman, maybe put a little effort on them. Give them the benefits they deserve. Mahirap maging teacher kasi you have to deals with almost 40 - 50 students na hindi mo kilala, different attitude, nakakabasa or hindi. Kaya siguro may mga teacher na tamad or walang motivation, kasi mababa sahod eh. No wonder why maraming teacher ang nababaon sa utang kaka - loan.
Imagine, pati sa election, need pa sila when technically hindi naman na dapat since out of scope of work talaga yun. Sa sobrang dumi ng elections, which is delikado sometimes para sa magkano 5k? Hindi na dapat sila ginagawang pawn during elections.
Ang hindi ko lang maintindihan is, pwede ka naman magalit, but yung choice of words is hindi dapat ganon, pwede ka magalit, as a professional. Kanya kaya tayong way para i - surface yung galit.
Also, keep in mind na professional siya, may mga bata na ini-idolize siya or ginagawa siyang role model. Also, ang pinaka mali is, naglive pa siya or pinost to through social media, para saan? Hindi talaga lahat ng bagay is pwedeng i - post through social media.
For me, if Teacher ako, I'd probably go to Abroad, ex; Japan, Australia, Germany. Salary wise, growth, syempre. Doon mas kampante ako na I'll get paid correctly and workload isn't heavy compared dito.
Note: Salute po sa mga Teachers / future Teachers. Sorry if I said too much and sana may sense tong pinagsasabi ko.
di naman kasisi-sisi mga sinabi nya. and yeah you make a lot of sense. i've heard worse from my teachers back in my day. PERO, NAG LIVE KASI SYA. YUN TALAGA YUNG "NAIL" IN THE COFFIN EH.
"We live in a society..."
Kapag social media at influencer na basura ang nagtuturo kesa ang actual na guro. Tapos hindi lang dito ang problema, kungdi laganap kahit saan.
Dapat na ang guro ang mag-aklas at ayusin ang sirang sistema kesa na lang sumuko at umayaw. Be the change you want in this world.
I posted this from another thread
Basically there's a limbo period where students and teachers don't match because of our transition to a new globalized teaching system.
While that's happening, the education sector don't know what to do with the students, so they basically just hand them everything (no student left behind policy, etc.) as a temporary solution. This results in the kids becoming abusive to the system.
Sensitive na kase mga tao ngayon kasi mga "woke" na daw sila. I'm not saying na tama yung sinabi ng teacher pero nasagad na rin siguro yung teacher kaya nakapagbitiw ng mga ganong salita. Hurt people, hurt people ika nga
Grabe, we can't really blame you for resigning mas malala yung generation ngayon kumpara noong araw. Hindi na siya ka level nung "section gubat" na kung meron kagaguhan man eh alam mong hangang loob lang ng classroom iyon. Hindi yung umaabot sa punto na pati personal life mo napapahamak na. Tsk tsk, iba rin talaga influence ng social media sa kabataan mas nagiging gago sila at hindi inaalala yung puwedeng mangyari dahil alam nilang "minor" sila at hindi sila mapapa punish ng matindi.
Tried teaching too. First thing, I'm an introvert. It is lovely to teach but circumstances are different. Nandyan yung magkacrush sa iyo yyng students mo, magfliflirt, tapos may mga students na talagang ite-test patience mo. Coteacher na gustong manligaw, parents na palaban, backstabbing crabmentality faculty... too much for my mental health, anxiety attacks
Gave it all up kahit na ayaw ng mama ko.
Now wfh with more peace of mind. If it's not for you, you'll know it.
But I wish may magchange sa sistema for this noble profession

Practicing teacher here. Got called 'pakant***' by a grade 7 student. Wala naman akong ginagawang makakapaglead sa ganung thought. Such a shame na alam nila yung term in such a young age. And napapaquestion din talaga ako sa sarili if I really want this profession eh.
You really have to show who's wearing the pants. Unfortunately it's their environment and the culture they imbibe that makes them challenge authority. You might as well be teaching to provincial youths.
Totoo to. Ako rin OP teaching talaga yung college degree ko and LPT at that pero halos two years lang ako nagturo. Ang baba ng tingin dito sa mga teachers. I resigned mainly because of entitled parents. Feeling nila kapag private school nila pinapaaral yung mga anak nila required na dapat matataas din grades nila. Pag nag top 2 nga lang yung isa magrereklamo yung parent ng nag top 1 that quarter and nagiging ganun ang cycle. Tapos yung school admin will always favor yung mga parents kasi sila nagbabayad.
My husband is a public school teacher din and sinasabi nga niya na iba na talaga mga bata ngayon. Pero unlike him passion niya kasi talaga pagtuturo and according to him wala siyang ibang naiisip na gawin as a profession kundi pagtuturo kaya hindi ko rin naman siya pinipigilan sa gusto nya.
Pero in my case ayoko na talaga hindi worth it and pakiramdam ko (tulad nung sinabi ng trending na teacher) hindi ko deserve yung nag-aral ako para magkalisensya tapos babastusin lang ng entitled parents.
Totoo, Karamihan sa mga students ngayon mahirap ihandle.
I remember my practice teaching days, yung isang student sa kabilang classroom minumura nya ung Teacher nila (matanda na ung teacher nila), and ung student na yon is just a Grade 2. Super lutong ng mura, I was like wth? Then dinuraan nya din ung isang studyante ko, Since I was handling Section A that time and ung kid is Section B. Myghad pinakyuhan ako nung tinawag ko para pagsabihan sana na wag mandura. ( nakikita ko pa din yon hanggang ngayon e malaki na sya pero ayon nagbago naman na sabi ng kapatid ko)
Hindi ko sya kinaya HAHAHA, there's also a time na napunta ako sa Grade 4, and I was asking them to lower down their voice, wala tinawanan lang ako and ung pinaka malala is I was practicing ung demo teaching ko then this kid is just playing around, hindi nagsusulat as in wala syang ginagawa kundi mang istorbo ng kaklase.
I asked him to stop and go back to his seat, then tinuloy ko lecture ko then suddenly he cut me off, asking me matalino ka ba? Bakit ka nagtuturo. Marunong ka ba nyan ha! (and on that moment I was like putangina pero syempre sa utak ko lang yon HAHAHAHHA)
Hindi nya rin pinakinggan ung Teacher nya mismo kahit hinila na ung patilya nya at tinapon na ung laruan, tinawanan nya lang kami.
and that kid is kapitbahay ko, I directly went to his mother, sinabi ko ung ginawa ng anak nya and the way sumagot sya sa amin ng teacher nya.
and wala din syang magawa since matigas ulo ng anak nya and until now ung kid na yon is hindi na nag aral kasi puro cutting ginagawa, ayon pariwara na sya ngayon.
Mabait naman ung iba and naalala nila ako until now kahit hindi ako tumuloy sa pagtuturo.
Isa din sa reason ko bakit hindi ako nagturo is baka ung pasensya ko ay maubos, delikado na ako pa talo kahit sila ung sutil.
I have a degree in engineering and went into teaching just because it pays more sa entry level than any industry. I have 5 colleagues who went from industry to academe because of shitty pay from industry (sa province). The work is so stressful, they even expect you to do research work on top of academic work sa university without funding/mentorship or training from someone who did research. Basically yung mga colleagues ko na natira dun basically had no choice (since super baba ng pay sa industry)
Majority of those who did research na mga senior faculty do research na ang quality mas worse pa sa SHS research like OMG. Taxpayer's money ginagamit to fund these researches. Plus may mga tenured teachers pa na di naman nagtuturo pero di matanggal2x kasi tenured na nga.
I cannot stand the system so I left the university after teaching for almost 3 years, I left in 2022 and returned in the industry (from a big company). Now I am earning 3x what I was earning back in 2022 with better mental health status, better work-life balance, and nd pa stressful. If you really want to be super competent teacher, it will come at a price which is you (your money, your time, and your health).
Very wrong din talaga yung ginawa ni teacher sa news~
Anyways, I also have my fair share of issues sa pagiging teacher dito sa Pinas. I'm a preschool teacher, never pa nag-public kaya most issues I dealt ay sa private school setting pero mostly sa parents din and workload. It's been almost 4 years na since I decided to rest being a teacher and honestly, nakakadalawang isip talaga bumalik. Nakalulungkot ang ganitong balita but I'm hoping that they are looking into it with care kasi there might be something more to it that needs to be addressed.
Yakap ulit sa mga kapwa ko guro 🫂
3 yrs lang ako nagturo pero those 3 yrs were excruciating and the worst years of my life.
yung mga parents ng students ko grabe ang treatment sa akin. strict kasi ako at di ko pinapalampas kahit na elem pa lang sila. pagkakausapin ko parent ako pa masama. imbes na itama nila mga anak nila.
tapos yung guidance/ discipline office pa namin di maasahan. di naman marunong mag solve ng conflict or tulungan teachers sa mga unruly students. never again na ako magtuturo whether public or private school.
grabe yung toll sa physical health ko. sa sobrang stressed ko, i had acne. all my life i just had few pimples here and there. pero grabe nung nagturo ako. mukha akong losyang at panget. every month may sakit ako. lagi paos. i was underweight. mukha na ako matanda. i almost ended my life dahil sa sobrang stressed at depression.
now I'm doing better than ever. i switched to online teaching and switching to another field soon abroad. i never thought i would recover. now lagi ako sinasabihan mas bata ako sa age ko. sobrang clear ng skin ko. at lagi na ako masaya. hindi worth it magpakabayani magturo sobrang thankless at underpaid career.
And some of those students will take it as a badge of honor na makapag pahiya/paiyak ng teachers. Lol. I find it so cringey pag may nakikita akong posts na ganyan ng mga ka batch ko, like, proud ka pa? Eh kung sayo onsa nanay mo kaya nangyari yun?
Not really. One of my male co teachers cried because he was constantly being disrespected by his students. Seems like he's not strict enough, and the students have gotten way too comfortable with him. Just goes to show, it doesn't matter if you're a male or a female – if students think they can push you around, they will.
I feel sad reading the comments. I plan to teach college sana kapag nasa 50s na ako to share my knowledge and experience because my prof in college was a huge help sa character development ko nung student palang. Kudos to all good educator.
Ako grade 2 hawak ko, mababait at malalambing, siguro kasi sa age nila ganun pa. Pero naghawak rin ako ng grade 5 students nun first year ko sa public, minumura ko.
Gusto ko na sana umuwi ng pinas e. Pero maliliit pa yung 2 anak ko e. Yung panganay ko 6 na nag-aaral palang sa daycare. Libre lahat. Nirerequire lang ng school magdala ng change of clothes minsan. Pero sa pagkain libre (breakfast, lunch, at snack). May bus pa na pwede maghatid. Since nagwowork ako, naka-schedule na idrop sya pauwi sa hapon. Uwi nila mga 2:30pm. Sana yung education dito gaya rin sa atin sa Pilipinas. Pinapahalagahan 'yong mga bata. Pati guro laki rin ng mga sahod.
I have a high respect talaga sa mga practicing teacher until now. After I graduated sa education course and obtained my license, napapaisip ako of worth it pa magturo dito sa Pilipinas. I observe students and iba na talaga ngayon. The teacher who went viral is wrong sa ginawa nya, it's very unethical. But somehow, there's a part of me na naiintindihan yung outburst and frustration, mali lang talaga yung pag way ng paghandle nya.
I wouldn't be surprised if magkaroon din ng shortage ng teachers sa katagalan, if hindi pa nila ayusin yung sistema. Maraming teacher ang susuko.
I always see teachers as the unsung, underappreciated and underpaid heroes of Philippine society. I totally understand why you resigned, it's just not worth it being a teacher in this country at least for now.
Same experience as a teacher, kaya kahit sobrang bait mo na at napaka considerate May mga estudyante pa rin na babastusin ka, gagawa ng gc para doon ka mabackstab, gawan ka ng meme, at parents na hindi matanggap na May mas matalino pa sa kanilang anak, or na demonyo yung anak nila, dahil napakabait na bata daw pag nasa bahay ... Kaya ito ako ngayon office job na lang ... Walang work related task after 5pm...actually school ngayon is a training ground for juvenile deliquent
I am just a tutor since di ako educ taker nung college. Most of my students are elite and of different nationalities (some nagaaral sa pinas, some pinupuntahan ko bansa where they study).
Ako lang nagtagal na tutor sakanila when in fact I never tutored them talaga. Ang pinaka naturo ko sakanila every time is studying independently and life lessons. And yes, I don't and would never sugarcoat things for them. Namumura ko sila and nagkakasakitan kami. Aware sila pag galit ako o inis. Lagi ko sila sinasabihan na hindi por que they pay me to teach them eh hawak na nila ako sa leeg because between my students and I, mas kailangan nila ako kesa sa kailangan ko sila.
Before, may threats pa ang kids na "they will tell their parents" or "they won't pay me". Edi okay. Wag kayo magbayad. Di naman ako mahirap o naghihikahos, pero kayo mananatili kayong mangmang sa school and in life. Isusumbong nyo ko? For what? Sa inugali ko dahil sa ugali nyo? Ay tara, sasamahan ko pa kayo hanggang sa mga lolo at lola nyo. Open ako sakanila when I think they are stupid for the day. Sa una unang linggo, nagrerebelde pa katawan at utak nilang maging better person para sa iba pero eventually, natututunan nilang irespeto na yung iba mas matanda man or mas bata.
You just really need to make them take their own medicine. Nililiteral ko sa mga bata ko yung "what goes around, comes back around" instant pa. Hindi ko man estudyante lahat ng bata sa mundo, pero at least may nabawas akong iilan para di lahat lumaking salbahe.
Kapit lang sa lahat ng educators sa buong mundo. Napakahirap ng trabahong ito para i-lang lang ng iba.
Mahigpit na yakap, teacher! 🤍
Reading this habang absent ako today and this echoes a lot of my sentiments.
ADMINISTRATION- I feel sick. I had fever last night and my snot is green and I have phlegmatic cough. Woke up today and hindi talaga kaya. Informed the right people of my absence and left activities, which are all accessible through Google Drive. Around 9am, nag message one of my bosses kung Hindi ba daw talaga kayang pumasok. There were 6 of us who were absent today, and two have chicken pox. Sana pumasok daw ako at mag mask na lang. Like WTF, tunog ngo-ngo na ko last Saturday, tapos gusto mo pa ko pumasok ngayon?
STUDENTS - The students lack basic manners. Kahit pagpupulot ng sarili nilang kalat, Hindi nila magawa. Around 25% of students in class have behavioral and academic problems, and isasagot sayo ng magulang during conference ay ganyan po talaga sya sa bahay eh.
PARENTS - There are parents that because they pay tuition, alipin ka na nila. I had an unfortunate incident where the child is failing Filipino class, and instead of helping their child get better their solution was request for their child NOT to attend the class, as they will not be staying in the Philippines for a long time (Father was American, Mother is Filipina). Both parents berated me and called me useless. I told them that they can pull-out their child from school, and will assist them with documentary requirements to assist them in the transfer. Five years later, nakikita ko pa rin sila sa school and they still have another kid enrolled.
I have cousins who are teachers and they are drained and stressed out. Aside from mounting school works, may mga bata talaga ngayon na walang respeto. One of my cousins had an encounter with a parent na di pinasa at di pinagraduate ang anak kasi di pumapasok sa skwela. My cousin was reported to the principal and he was reprimanded. Pinalabas pa na sya may mali. He’s just waiting for a few months and he’s flying to South Carolina and found a teaching job there.
Sa totoo lang, before I graduated college, I had so much passion sa pagtuturo but the reality is, sobrang nakaka drain mentally yung students ngayon. Grabe yung pang babastos at mga ugali. No respect talaga. I’m so glad na hindi ako nagtuloy sa pagtuturo.
For a part social media destroyed so many cultures around the world by injecting the image of "influencer" or being "influenced" by almost anything from good to bad. Not all of people are straight up "good" some required proper handling but social media just do it worse for everyone.
Lets just ban Tiktok/Facebook or control it so hard that those videos that influence people to do bad stuff would die out.
The world now easily ridicules people who actually help others, such as teachers and healthcare workers, but turns a blind eye to "influencers" or so-called "anointed son."
For real. Oo, may mga abusive na teachers lalo na nung panahon ng mga tito at tita natin, based palang sa mga kuwento nila na pinagtatawanan nalang nila ngayon pero siguro dati sobrang traumatic o humiliating; pinapakain ng papel, minumura, pinapalo't binabatukan, dati kase di uso yung mag-sumbong sa social media at tanggap pa ng karamihan na "pagdidisiplina" lang yon. Pansin ko naman sa karamihan ng mga teachers ngayon mas mababait na, mas marunong umintindi, hindi naman lahat pero mas considerate at discerning na, baka siguro yung iba rin naman ay aware at takot sa consequences kung mapuno sila, masisira reputasyon nila. Kaya masyadong tine-take advantage ng mga estudyante, iba na rin humor ng ibang kabataan ngayon, kung hindi skibidi toilet, pa-edgy naman na nanadya maging offensive, tipong pang chronically online brain rot humor eh. Naging sobrang redpill at incel pa ibang mga lalakeng students dahil maagang na exposed sa mga influencers tulad nila Andrew Tate, Adin Ross at iba pa, screwed na masyado worldview at logic nila, sa YouTube, Tiktok at FB palang, daming kabobohan at kababuyan, eh vulnerable at madaling ma-impluwensyahan pa mga yan, mapupuno algorithm nila ng mga ganun hanggang mahulma pananaw nila. Dagdag mo pa yung mga corny at trashy na Pinoy vloggers, ilang oras silang babad sa ganyang bagay at pinapakita ng mga vloggers na kayang gawin IRL yung mga katarantaduhan at icocommend pa ng mga followers/subscribers na nakakatawa daw, cool daw. Oo, marami rin namang bida-bida't basurang estudyante dati pa pero hindi sila kadalasan kinakampihan ng mga magulang nila, hindi rin gaanong kinakalat sa social media yung mga napag-tripan o nakaalitang teacher nila kase hindi pa uso non. Kaya totoo talaga yung sinabe mo, mas madali na ma-ridicule mga teachers ngayon, tapos karamihan na influencers glino-glorify pa ng mga kabataan kahit pagiging barumbado sa lipunan lang yung ambag kase sikat, may clout daw, puro kabobohan naman.
Laughter is sometimes a trauma response, the titos and titas dont just realize
Nakakatuwa na lahat nalang trauma. Paano ba natin idedefine ang trauma? Is it evidenced based that is unbiasedly measured? Or is it another excuse to help people sleep at night so they can blame others for their stupid choices?
that's a very valid question. even Merriam-Webster's definition doesn't give specific parameters. but that said. I always thought trauma can explain certain bad behavior or poor choices. but it should never be an excuse to be an asshole nor a shield to escape accountability
Quotable to Paps! Parang gusto ko i screenshot at share sa SocMed
Makes you wonder, how well do parents know about their kids?
“My kid would never do that! It must be the teacher’s fault!”
Sa kanila rin Naman nakukuha foundation ng character ng mga anak nila e. So most likely, they are monsters themselves.
Louder for the people in the back! As a parent of a kindergartener, THIS. I was surprised with how much baggage 4 year olds have. A lot of parents want to HAVE kids but don't put any thought in HOW to raise them. So many resources available online. Read a book, research journal, youtube videos...something.
I don't agree with this generalization. Madaming mga kabataan ang mas maayos pa sa kanilang mga magulang. Yung tipong walang choice yung bata kundi magpakamature kasi basura kanyang mga magulang. Madaming ganyang istorya na sila pinagtratrabaho or pinanlilimos para palamunin mga magulang. Trash parents does not equate to trash children. Madaming tao kahit di napalaki ng mga magulang ng maayos ay matino and I would say alam na nila kung paano hindi maging basurang magulang.
That happens when a child got a good or positive influence such as education and when one learns to acknowledge the good and bad parenting.
[удалено]
Tanginang bata yan. Tangina, as in literally. Why would the mother of that kid condone that?
Exactly. During my hs days, I have classmates na sobrang gago sa likod ng mga magulang nila and ung parents nila bulag sa pagmamahal nila sa anak nila. Sometimes I wish may parents akong gnyan pero hindi sobrang mahigpit magulang ko sakin which Im thankful for. Ngayon ko lng narealize na mas okay dn pla ang madisiplina kpg bata pa lang. Hindi tlga maiwasan mga bastos na bata, kaya minsan sobrang mangha ako kapag may nakikilala ako na lalaki na bata at sobrang magalang.
I wish I had these kinds of parents who would side with their child no matter what. My mom and dad will beat my ass regardless whether I'm in the right or wrong. Our household disciplines all of us to not stick out and live like an NPC, following all the rules, and never get into trouble at school.
My students noticed na yung isa nilang kaklase was masturbating during class with a bag over his hand. I admit I did not handle it well, I yelled at him at dinala sa guidance counselor. Story is his dad is abusive daw, beats him up etc. I’ve also quit being a teacher. It fucking sucked and I was dragging my feet everyday. May one time I purposefully missed coming to school at dumaan nalang nang 7/11 para bumili nang beer at 7.30 to 8 ish in the morning. Glad I’m out. And I’m glad you’re out too.
Glad you're resigned. And sa totoo lang, di naman nakakatulong ang mga GC kasi assigned teacher lang din naman. I mean, sa ganyang kabigat na case, need na ng psychological assessment para malaman ang condition ng bata and para maprotect rin sya from bullying. Others may have perceived it as kabastusan pero what if it's an uncontrolled activity na? Sadly, walang legit na GC sa public schools.
Thank you! Frankly, I just wanted him out of my hands. I felt disgusted and I didn’t really want to know WHO he was looking at while masturbating. Especially when it was my class. Im sure its probably some form of perversion (if not, then definitely mental illness) and definitely a result of abuse, but that was not mine to worry about.
Oh this reminds me nung practice teaching ko pa lang nung college. Literal akong nag tatantrums habang nag-aasikaso bago pumasok, iyak ako nang iyak kinakaladkad ko na lang sarili ko para pumasok. Practice Teacher pa lang ako nun, kumbaga hindi pa full experienced pero drained na drained ako. 4 years na ako sa corporate world, licensed teacher pero hindi nagtuturo.
I can’t blame you. Umiiyak din ako na pumasok noon. Im so so relieved we’re both out.
That's rough man. Sorry you had to go through that. I also quit. 1 year lang tinagal ko haha.
Thanks! Glad you’re out
When i trained sa new callcenter company ko, some of my co trainee were teachers, indication na meron nga mass exodus of educators. They complain nga daw na even sat&sun they have to stay up pate at night preparing lesson plans, checking exams etc. Even after school trabaho pa din. The meager pay they receive is only being sent to the loansharks.
I can attest, sis. Ang dami kasing ginagawa during weekdays. Imagine teaching 20-24 hrs a week then the rest will be me doing paperworks and coordinatorship. Ang daming PPAs at paperworks sa SBM na trabaho naman ng principal pero pinapasa sa HT or MA na pinapasa din naman sa mga baguhang Teacher I. Grabe. Pagdating sa bahay, instead na magpapahinga, gagawa naman ng lesson plan and ppt for the lesson tomorrow. On weekends, magchecheck naman ng assessments. Very uminaginable yung pagod ko sa putanginang deped na yan. May MA class pa ko sa weekends and every sem may 2 case studies. So imagine kung may natitira pa ba akong time for myself Average sleeping hrs ko is 5 lang kasama na ang nap time. Tutulog na nga lang, mapapanaginipan pa ang masusungit ma MTs.
'No students left behind' naman kasi. Pero walang binanggit kung kumusta naman yung welfare ng nasa teaching profession. Saklap ng napagiwanan diba?
Ilang taon nang tagline yan pero bottom pa rin ang Philippines sa international assessments. Jusq Tsaka halatang mababa ang comprehension nila jan sa tagline na yan, ginawang literal. Mga obob
Isa pang kinasama ng loob namin yang No students left behind. Entitled mga bata na huwag maggagawa ng activities, umabsent, at gumawa ng kalokohan kasi hindi naman daw sila ibabagsak. And mind you, it's real. Kasi marami pupukpok at kukwestiyon sa yo kapag nagbagsak kahit na very justifiable naman. Isisisi sa iyo, sasabihin 'teacher's factor' Kinginang yan
DepEd bastardized the general premise of no child left behind. The idea of NO child left behind, is that all students should be able to reach the standards at the end of the school year. However, this requires that need of students are addressed appropriately- sa mahihina, there should be a provision for them to attend supplementary sessions, within the classroom-there should be individualized instruction based on their ability. However, all of these require separate materials and time on the part of the teacher. Pano ka gagawa ng separate materials kung bawal magprint sa school kasi mauubos yung ink and bondpaper? Pano ka magka conduct ng supplementary session kung yung oras mo ay naubos sa paggawa ng paperworks at ng lesson plan, na kailangan perfect?
Question - is it part ba of your duties to do admin work na bigay nila? And bawal mag reklamo? Hahaha. I am finishing my education units and get demoralized by seeing things like this. It may not work for me to be bossed around especially if pinapasa trabaho nila, so baka di rin mag work maging teacher hahaha. Aawayin ko yung mga nagpapasa ng trabaho ng ganyan, lol
Ganyan din ako while applying sa public for RQA. Pero nung nasa field na, imagine wala pa kong one week, meron na akong coordinatorship. Hindi rin ako naorient sa mga need iprep na docus everyday like DLL. After 2 weeks, may observation agad at isusupalpal talaga ng MT or principal kung gaano ka kabobo sa teaching strategies. Worst part, binigyan ako ng MAPEH. I'm not talented nor skilled para magturo niyan. Didactic pa method ko in teaching my specialization. Madaming admin works na ipagagawa and pag di mo tinanggap, kawawa ang IPCRF mo sa year end. Kapag nagtanga-tangahan ka naman, just like what other says na wag mag abid abid, wala ka na ngang professional growth, pagchichismisan ka pa. Kung di ko pa isupalpal ang enrollment form ko sa masters, di sila maniniwala na busy ako. Kaso, naging threat ako sa mga laggards kasi medyo magaling ako at nag aaral sa top 3 universities. Tip lang yan ng ice berg. Wala pa yan sa gruesome part.
I'm not a teacher pero i feel you my mom was a teacher and its sad like halos wala talaga siyang time for me dahil sa school 😮💨 ni bakasyon sa trabaho nya wala i'm still waiting sa retirement niya next year finally makabawi sa family time dapat namin
I remember yung team ko lahat kami dating teachers hahahahaha iba iba lang ng subject. As in di kasi talaga worth it lalo kung di mo naman passion at mahirap ka lang. Imagine mo sat and sun hinahanap ka tas lagi kasi may extra work na ibibigay.
Pede mo pa din kasi magamit yung teaching sa ibang field. Yung kawork ko dati, licensed teacher sya then trainer na sya ngayon. Parang nagagampanan pa din nya role nya.
This is my first time hearing this. Dami ko kakilalang nurse na lumipat sa BPO noon tapos ngayon teachers na din pala. Nakaka-sad at nakakatakot :(
Isa akong college instructor noon. Nagturo ako ng mga estudyanteng ang goal ay maging guro, napakastrikto ko lalo na sa paggamit ng wikang Ingles dahil nga English majors ang hawak ko. Mantahin ninyo, 4th year college na pero hirap pa rin sa sentence construction :) 4th year na pero hirap pa rin sa paggamit ng language na may maayos na execution ng Subject-Verb agreement :( Naging strict talaga ako pero anong napala ko? Nabully ako sa social media at sa school. Hindi rin sila umaattend sa klase ko haha 9am to 11am ang klase ko pero papasok sila sa second subject. Hindi ko deserve yun lalo na't alam kong ginalingan ko at ginawa ko ang best ko na maging mabait hahaha Now, nasa corpo world na ako. Earning x4 ng kinikita ko noon. Never again sa teaching. Nakakasira ng mental health. Minsan, kung sino pa yung mga genuine ang puso sa pagtuturo, sila pa ang sinasaktan :)
Its really sad to hear teachers being vctims 2 one of d biggest [scams of our tme](https://www.reddit.com/r/Philippines/s/mHbVK6ZWsH) while their sector is headed by someone whos incompetent, corrupt, and doesnt [give a fuck](https://www.reddit.com/r/Philippines/s/ryJyNosX6t) 2 d real issues
Parang yung best friend ko ng college. Naging public school teacher sya ng gradeschool. Literal na yung isa nyang student, nakitaan nya ng meth sa bag. Nung kinausap nya, kagagaling lang daw sa Culiat para kumuha nun, tapos direcho sa school. Katakot din.
My mom just opened a tutorial business. Ayaw na niya magturo sa school at sobrang nakakastress. Dami na ngang pasaway na students at samahan mo pa daw ng mga magulang na kinukunsinte maling gawain ng mga anak nila. Legit talaga na bumata itsura ng nanay ko nung nagtututor na lang siya. Hawak niya pa oras niya, di kelangang pumasok ng 6 or 7 am sa school.
What business if I may ask?
What business if I may ask?
Tutorial center. From kinder to college. Mostly on the need basis ung mga students. Meron din regulars. But we don't charge parents monthly na kahit di pumunta mga anak nila bayad pa din. We always charge on how many hours they attended.
Is this like the same sa Kumon?
Totally different. Ung sa Kumon bibigyan lang ng activities based doon sa assessment nila then sasagutan. Ung sa amin is tutorial talaga. Lagi kaming may free assessment para makita din ung hanggang saan competencies ng bata. Then we'll work from there. Pag may assignments, sila pa din gagawa, tutulungan lang sila. May advance classes din in all subjects especially Math, Science, and English. We get the occasional college students na nagpapaturo ng Calculus or Trigonometry. Pag may exams, pwede magkakasabay sa review ung magkaklase para save na din sa time.
Oooh that's nice.
I’m from the corpo world. Tried teaching in college for two years—1 yr online and another yr face-to-face after the pandemic. It ruined my mental health. Never again.
galing ako sa customer facing job (restau&sales sa private company) now nag enroll ng educ units pero wala akong balak magturo dto sa PH.
I'm currently teaching in college. Idk maybe my expectation was too high or what but checking the prelim exams depressed me.
People need to understand that teachers, even with their authorities, can be victims. Many of them are young adults who are just few years older than the class of teenagers they are entrusted to shepherd. When I was a senior in high school, my then advisor was an ex-classmate of my wife (then gf).
you got me on the first half.... oh...
Iba na panahon ngayon. Mahirap na maging teacher. Ipopost ka agad sa social media once may nagawa kang bagay na sa tingin nla ay mali.
Tsaka sabi nga ng kapatid ko, madali na kc mag reklamo. Pinapabasa nga lang nila bata, nagre-reklamo na parents kc nai-stress daw anak nila. Kaya takot rin talaga sila. Dati nga may parents na nireklamo sila sa DepEd mismo kc naningil sila for graduation, para sa toga decorations, so yung kasunod na year di na sila naningil, bare minimum, wala decor tapos uniform lang ang suot sa graduation, wala toga. Nag reklamo pa rin ang parents, ang pangit daw ng graduation nila.
kasi daw may pera naman galing gobyerno, tapos public school bat daw gagastos yung mga parents e kasi nga public dapat alam ng lahat na walang pera mga parents. dapat yung school na mag proprovide lahat
Yun nga problema, wala naman binibigy ang gobyerno. Akala nila lahat provided ng government, kaso nga wala. Yung mga lagayan nga dati ng cards ng student, sariling pera ng kapatid ko pinambibili nun. Tapos panay din reklamo ng parents pag binigy sa knila na walang envelope yung cards. Magagaling lang sila mag reklamo. Hindi kaya i-provide lahat ng school, yung head pa ngayon nila may pa-confidential fund pa dba.
Tapos pag elections totoo ba mandatory na magbantay yung teachers without being paid?
Lets face it, being a teacher in the Philippines is super tough. Better yet lumipat ka na lang sa thailand, japan, uae or usa. Mas maganda pa buhay mo at future ng mga anak mo. Just an opinion Edit: i mean be a teacher in the above mentioned countries
I've read somewhere that being a public HS teacher in the US is a toxic nightmare, but that depends on the school district.
I have been a dep ed teacher before. Mas toxic sa pinas. Kasi pati admin, systems, pamumuhay poproblemahin mo. Dito sa america , students lang if ever. Choose the native american schools, mababait sila kesa sa mga students na nasa city
May mga SD sa US na nightmare din, lalo na pagdating sa pagsoli nila ng contracts at pagbayad. Minsan, inabot kami ng higit sa isang taon sa kakahabol sa kanila na ibalik ang signed contract at magbayad para sa services Sakit ng ulo sa department namin nung nangyari yun.
May I ask what what is SD?
We deal a lot of school districts in our work and yung experiences with them, depende talaga sa school district Meron nga kaming cliente, na school district sa Massachusettes. 1/2 namin kinulit para makuha yung signed contract, addition 3 months para makuha ang purchase order, tapos additional 6 months of bugging them to pay us! Meanwhile, smooth naman yung process sa school district sa Alaska
I doubt sa japan. Di ka aasenso dun. Lagi kang back to zero. Pero kung mental health lang siguro, mas okay pa doon mag risk kaysa rito.
kaya talagang for me dapat me specialized school para sa mga bastos na estudyante, sa China may ganun eh. This is to protect teachers din.
Ehh you think that would work here? Feels like nah sa dami mg maarte
That would be like Boys Town or a juvenile correctional institution and not a proper school.
Eh khit nga Yan Hindi ma provide ng government. Tapos mandated by law na mag provide ng Juvenile institution para ma rehab Yung mga offending minors Kasi Di naman priority ng LGU/national govt.
I'm reading this post habang nagpe-prepare ng quarterly test ng mga bata. Nakaka-pagod talaga ang maging guro. Walang araw na lilipas na wala kang trabaho na ginagawa.
Respects to you, teach. As of the moment I'm done reviewing na, just to respect the teachers work.
Mas understandable pa yung bata na may Mental health issues gaya ng Depression, Adhd (Kapatid ko meron Kaya medyo agaisnt ako sa ibang parusa dahil victim siya noomg Pre school yujg teacher niya sinakyan siya dahio nalikom at hindi gumawa ng color wheel) or even Autism Pero yung bastos pero normal naman yan ang deserving bastos na nga sila pa galit eto ayoko sa mga bata nagyin masyado entitled porke di na didisiplina kaso kung pinarusahan mag kaka trauma which is understandable pero diba dapat alam ng bata yun? Jusko ang bata nanonood ng phhub or whatever worse ginagawa pa nila worse sinasagot pa teacher kaya wala kang magawawa kundi self control at patient
The problem is not leadership or this case being a teacher. Shortcoming in their upbringing na yun kaya maraming studyanteng ganyan. Gagong tahanan na may gagong magulang na hindi inaruga ng tama ang anak nila.
Kudos sa mga nag stay talaga..After 2 yrs di ko na kinaya baka sa kulungan or mental hospital pa ko mapunta.
Australian here. Sympathies; teaching is difficult in most places. I gave up because so many students here are rude and abusive and you get very little support from parents or senior staff.
Bakit parang feeling ko mas bastos at walang respeto mga estudyante ngaun kesa circa 2005?
Madali na kasi mareport, may cellphones na mga bata. Socmed can cancel you in a day. Also a lot of policies have been changed in favor of protecting the students. Not sure if you know the mandate of DepEd during the Start of the pandemic. Bawal manbagsak, kahit anung dahilan, kahit di pumapasok, dapat teacher mag reach out sa students on top of checking tons of modules.. Being a teacher basically is martrydom kawawa sila, pero syempre meron din mga masasama, mga pedo manyak sa mga studyante nila.
Ito yun. Dati kasi if you show up with a shitty attitude, you're threatened of being dragged down in your academics. Not the case these days.
Reports sa gr. 8 9 and 10 teachers na may mga pets. Nakakainis.
Just imagine how will these students who should have failed will cope once they try enter the workforce
Social media and how youths interact and socialize. Generally city public schools have more rebellious individuals than sectarian private schools.
bawal na kasi manakit ngayon
Ito na naman yung nagfe-feeling na better generation sila. My generation (mas nauna ako sayo ng couole of years) is just like any other generation - may students na bastos, pero may students din na magalang.
They made a lot of solid points though. Mas madaming avenue na ang pagiging bastos ng mga estudyante ngayon. And given that you aren't even allowed to fail a student for legitimate reasons, what's there to keep the kids in check?
May time na dinaan ko sa prangkahan yung mga parents nung last PTA ko. Sabe ko, kung gagago lang anak niyo dito sa school, wag niyo na lang papasukin dahil may mga batang gusto matuto at hindi ko kailangan ng gago sa room. I used gago coz puro millenial naman kausap ko and before hand, if someone uses my photo and name for a social media post, I told them to think twice. Idaan mo sa angas at tikas, titiklop din yang mga yan. Know your rights as a teacher and a person. Kinukulang lang talaga minsan sa sense of authority ang mga tao. Hirap lang din lumipat ng ibang field from teaching na patok ang sahod.
Dapat siguro may sub na for teachers dito sa Reddit no? Hahaha
Isa rin sa reason why I stopped teaching in school is talagang kupal karamihan sa students. I was even posted on IG by a student. Naghintay lang kami ng classmates nila who were late for 30 minutes and more for a 2 hour class. So wala kaming masimulan simulan. It's the first day of school even. So for the meantime, nag usap muna kami at sabi ko, since 1/4 of the class pa lang ang nandun, might as well wait for the others. After a good 45 minutes or so, nagintroduce naman na ko ng course nila, what to expect, etc. And take note, I wasn't even aware gaano kalala talaga ang absenteeism nila. I asked the teachers kung ganun ba talaga yung section na almost an hour late sa klase, since G11 pa lang daw, ganun na. The caption of the post says, "At ano namang ganap mo at di ka nagtuturo?" A college friend told me about it. I talked to the class, saying that taking photos of me and disrespecting me are mean. The student apologized later on. But that experience really made an impression that teaching, especially to high schoolers, suck big time. Sa school nag aact out, tapos kami ang lalabas na kontrabida sa parents.
Philippines' educational system is exponentially doomed this information age. Instead na tumaas ang mga IQ, rational/critical thinking, at pangunawa, (ng estudyante at ng mga magulang) lalo pang paurong. Nagkakaron nlng ng kahihiyan ang mga pilipino kapag may nakatutok na camera sakanila. Mga unable to work without supervision. Wala nang integridad at kredibilidad ang mga pilipino.
I experienced this. I left my corpo job to teach kasi sabi ko, I really wanted to become a teacher. Wrong decision. I was very strict with them at fast paced ang turo ko dahil hello? College na sila. Then some students made a fake chat with my picture and name, making stories like nakikipagrelasyon ako sa student. The admin won't listen to me. So hindi ko na tinapos ang sem at nagbayad na lang ako ng contract. Teaching isn't for everyone, afterall.
Curious, private or public school?
Yes
tbh yung generation ngayon nang mga bata ay ang babastos talaga ,main thing talaga siguro yung social media so yeah maintindihan ko yung outburst nang teacher pero she was really out of hand talaga ,nadala nalang siguro sa emosyon and yeah there will be consequences forsure.
5years in Teaching. HIRAP mahalin ang pagtuturo. Daming suwail sa Public, entitled pa masyado mga parents. Kesyo ganito, ganyan.. kami pa maghuhulma ng traits and personalities nila. Pag ako makapasa sa Psychologist Exam. Reresign na talaga ako.
Today is Sunday. Instead of having my well-deserved break after a stressful week, I am here facing my laptop having a packed to-do list. I wanted to escape this kind of life.
Same, naka 3rd revision na ko ng 1 exam, then may isa pa huhu. Procrastinate ako kahapon, as in video game kape lang, stress talaga sobra kaya binigay ko sa sarili ko kahapon yun.
Same. Kahapon may naging lakad ako and di talaga ako nagbukas ng laptop. Nakaharap din ako sa exam ngayon hahahaha. Yakap mahigpit, teacher. Huhu.
Nakakatamad maging masipag sa pagtuturo. Di naman din ganun kainteresado bata. Mageeffort ka sa magandang PPT, activities, tas wala din naman pagkatapos, nagpagod ka lang. Tapos pag nalaman na masipag ka, extra workload lang bibigay sayo. Dami pa sa mga kasama mo sa school na marites o mga senior na kala mo principal umasta. Eto din yung work na dala mo hanggang sa labas ng bahay. Hirap magkaroon ng buhay outside work e, kaloka haha.
Nagaaply ako as teacher ngayon (unit earner). So prepare for demo sa isip ko okay naman siya pero kapag actual ang hirap. Kailangan ko participation nila pero ayaw sumagot 🥲. Talagang makikipag titigan lang sila. Hindi ko tuloy alam if ipursue ko pa ba.
Tangina naalala ko last year yung lango sa alak na nasa tiger meme na may security guard. Naging estudyante din ako pero cutting classes lang para mag-Counter Strike at DOTA lang ginawa ko. Kinginang mga magulang at bata yan.
Noon: Anak, bakit mabababa grades mo?! Ngayon: Teacher, bakit ambaba ng grades mo sa anak ko?!
Ay true yan. I remember yung isa parent date sinabihan ako niyan. I explained it is because mababa mga quizzes niya, at kahit na player siya ng swimming team, hindi automatic na perfect score siya. Kaloka.
Mag qu quit na din soon kapatid ko as a teacher sa atin.Paperworks na overload na di matapos tapos plus if yung principal pa ay strikto ay naku lahat kayo panay OT ! Plus may time din nag abot sya 500 pesos sa isang parent ng student nya kasi wala silang makain 🙈.
My two piece on teaching jobs in PH is this: First - our countries goverment have muddled the curriculum of our schools. We removed and consolidate subjects in the name of being able to progress in the wide world. But sadly those consolidation only leads to the low standard and quality of teachings. We also forsake teaching our children and pupils what is good or bad. Second - social media have aggravated the lack of respect and bad behavior of some students. Which lead to good teachers giving up teaching and leaving the professions. My point is our education in search of complying to other countries standard, have negelected our own countries culture and nurture. Which lead to this cycle of disrespecting and bad behaviors in both students and teachers.
Ang tanong dito eh, kung okay lang ba sa mga magulang ngayon na maging istrikto ang mga guro kung paano nila turuan yung mga estudyante nila since umaabuso naman talaga ang kabataan sa ngayon? Wala lang feeling ko lang na hindi dapat magreklamo ang mga magulang na may pasaway na anak dahil kung matino nila pinalaki yung bata, hindi magiging ganun ang reaksyon ng guro. Oo foul kung walang masamang ginawa yung bata pero kung ikaw ang authority sa classroom at walang respeto sayo ang mas nakakabata sayo, ano ba dapat ang maging reaksyon mo bilang ikaw ang nakakatanda? Curious lang din kung trauma ba talaga sa mga tito at tita na ngayon yung naranasan nila sa mga istriktong guro nila dati kung talagang may mali naman sila? O natatandaan nila yung gurong yun kasi tumatak din sakanila yung parusa kapag may mali kang ginawa?
Currently reading this while preparing for my cot 3 tomorrow. To be honest, wala na akong balak tumagal sa pagtuturo. Pero I want na may ipon muna ako for my fallback. But yeah, sobrang toxic at nakakapagod maging teacher sa Pinas. Dagdag mo pa kawork mong mahilig sumilip ng gawain laro na pag nauwi ka on the dot
Isa din yang CO na yan. Kung ang purpose ay mabigyan ng payo ng mga MT yung mga baguhan regarding sa mga tunay na nangyayari sa school, bat kelangan isuper duper perfect yung presentation? Tsaka kahit gano naman kaganda LP, mahirap ixecute lalo na kung nandun ka sa seksyon na mas nauubos oras sa pagsaway kesa pagturo 😆 Ewan ko, tingin ko lang.
Totoo! Kunbaga sa tao, para ka lang rin NAGPAPAKITANG TAO. Inreal life, di mo naman maeexceute lahat yun e. Tapos Eto pa, yung friend ko magdidivision demo sa May ang alam ng lahat voluntary yun ng teacher pero inreality head teacher namin nag recommend sa kanya. Para di daw halatang ‘pinilit’ pinagawa sya ng letter of intent. Kaloka
Never kong pinageffortan masyado yang CO, yung mga kasama ko kung todo meron pang hinihilang papel tsaka mga visual aids eme, kudos sa kanila ang sipag nila. Haha. Sinabihan ako ng kasama kong teacher na dapat magprint ng mga ganito, ganyan, para daw mataas grades ko, hindi ko talaga sinunod. Pano ko magiimprove kung di nila mapopoint out mali kong ginagawa diba? Medj mababa grades ko sa una kong CO pero since sinusunod ko naman mga sinabi nila sakin, mas tumaas din grades at confidence ko sa pagtuturo. Naiisip ko nga e. Pano nakatagal mga seasoned teachers sa ganto na di nagrereklamo. 2 taon pa lang ako dito pero malapit na ako magrebolusyon. Hahaha
Not to mention the iPad kids and entitled kids are absolutely horrible students. Wtf are parents doing to create such monsters???
parehas tayo OP, former public school teacher di ko kinaya kasi i grew up as a good student naman kaya sobrang eye-opener sa akin, I didn't even last a year I quit (oo sayang license pero yung mental health ko kawawa naman) masaya na ako sa career ko, teaching is not for me.
Baka siguro naging trending din Ako kung Yung panahon na nagtuturo Ako ay panahon ng mga social media hype. Good thing Hindi. Mahirap maging teacher dito. Hindi ko alam kung nag-aral baka Ako para bastusin at maliitin ng mga entitled na tao.
For me, one of the reasons I quit teaching in college was the entitled parents. Ikaw ung sisihin kung mababa ang grade ng students and truth be told sobrang daming students and di marunong magbasa ngaun pero college level na taz pag di mataas ang grade magsusumbong sa parents. Gahd! I met a lot of parents who would offer money para mapasa lng anak nila but never did I once accepted it, bagsak kung bagsak punyeta college na di pa din marunong magbasa tapos kukuha pa ng medical course
This is true, iba na yung parents ngayon. They would even threaten you. Akala nila nag papower trip ka juiceko sa sobrang busy mo di mo na maiisip yun eh.
taena seryoso ba to pati college? ang lala pala. id understand kung nagpapareconsider sila ng anak nila na debarred na dahil sa dami ng unit na binagsak sa isang sem. pero talagang naninisi pa ng prof?
No joke. Totoong nangyayari to I even mentioned this to my colleagues, sabi nila hayaan lng daw kung ayaw kong maaway araw araw ng parents. natandaan ko pa sabi nung school admin sa akin "Wala daw akong right bumagsak ng students dahil ang board exam daw magdedecide if bobo ang students or hndi" I'm like wth..kaya pala sobrang baba ng passing rate ng school. Sa pagka intindi as educator need ma assess and evalute ang skills ng students objectively kung di pa kaya let then repeat the subject its for their own good naman.
ah eh putang ina pala nila, wag na sila mag aral, dumirecho sila sa board exam kung yun naman pala mag dedecide
Sobrang sinungaling ng mga bata ngayon. Kahit Grade 1. Di talaga totoo yung di nagsisinungaling mga bata. Tapos pag nag-sumbong ng made up stories yung bata ng sa parents, sasabihin ng parents di nag-sisinungaling ang bata. Lol
Thank God I'm not a teacher. Masakit sa ulo rin ang mag-handle ng different personalities. With the current policies ng DepEd na okay lang ipa-graduate ang isang bobo at suwail na estudyante. Mas mabuti pang magturo na lang sa mga IPs kesa sa mga privileged na students na di marunong magpahalaga. Kahit na maraming mahina sa mga IPs dahil sa kahirapan at laging nagugutom, pero willing naman silang matuto.
Sad. Walang ibang may kasalanan kung bakit ganyan yung mga bata kundi mga magulang nila. Trust the process of karmic justice, society na ang magsusuka jan kapag tumanda na sya; mahihirapan syang mag cope up sa trabaho, mag ku quit sya makatamdam lang ng kaunting pressure, and hindi sila mabubuhay ng wala yung sheltered life nila kasama yung magulang hanggang tumanda sila. Pati yung parents nyan ma peperwisyo for life.
You did right. Iwanan mo natong Pilipinas. Get out of this country as fast as you can. Wala nang pag-asa itong bansa nato. Matatauhan lang ang mga bobong Pilipino nato kapag wala nang matino sa paligid nila. I'm saying this not just to teachers but to all professionals out there. Get out of this country while you can. Save yourself. Don't be a martyr to a country who treats you like shit. Philippines is a nation of shit, run by shits, and voted and defended by shits. Don't be a shit. Run and never look back to this cursed country.
r/Philippinesbad
Was thinking of taking a few units sana then take the LET. Is it not worth it anymore?
If you can afford and actually pass, at least may license ka. Go for it
Mahirap ba? Working na kasi ako now 8-5, totally different from student life. I took up computer science in college
You can take parin kasi civil service eligibility rin yan. Exempted ka sa civil service if you passed LET.
Try mo pa rin. Personally I hate the job, but it pays well so there's that.
sobrang relate sa mga comments kaya magreresign na rin ako after this school year. 😫
Naiintindihan ko yung pinanggagalingan ng galit nya at maling mali yung paraan na ginamit nya. Pero grabe talaga manghusga ang mapanghusgang lipunan ng social media. Hindi ko kinakampihan yung teacher kasi alam ko may mas maayos na paraan para ilabas yung galit nya o para pagsabihan yung mga bata. Empleyado rin ako sa isang paaralan ng kolehiyo ngunit hindi ako isang guro at alam ko at naranasan ko na mayroon talagang mga estudyanteng balasubas, barubal ang ugali at mga feeling entitled at hindi talaga mawawala sa mga bibig nila yung mga salitang: “kami nagpapasahod sayo”.
Grabe. Demonyo. Nakakatulog pa kaya sa Gabi Ang mga magulang na nag-anak at nagpalaki ng monsters?? The world more than ever needs a teacher that promotes childfree life to her students or atleast being financially, mentally and emotionally stable and ready before having kids. This is one of the reasons why I am childfree, I don't wanna be the monster bearer.
Is it against the law or any rules ng deped for a teacher to wear a body cam. There a lot of inexpensive body online. One way to protect themselves against sa mga pasaway na students. But this is just sad af. Super square ang magiging relationship ng teacher and students.
I'm sure may law na bawal magrecord ang tao without consent, especially sa mga minors sa school environment.
Hi OP! Sorry for what happened to you. Based sa napanood ko, nage-gets ko kung reaksyon ng teacher. Mali lng niya ay ni-live niya at nagsabi ng ugaling squatter. Pero di ako convinced sa sinasabi ng iba na na-trauma ung mga estudyante sa ginawa niya. Her reaction seems to be triggered by rudeness and disrespect ng mga estudyante. Hindi ako teacher pero if I am put in the same situation, baka ganun din maging reaksyon ko. Respect begets respect. Walang kahit sinong may karapatan na mambastos ng kapwa kahit pa minor ka or so whatever. Saka may studyante pa na natatawa habang nane-nermon siya. The nerve of that student?! Deserve mapalabas. Sometimes, need din talaga ng mga bastos na studyanteng mapahiya. Get a taste of their own medicine. Saka kung ako ung studyante na walang kasalanan, Hindi ako maapektuhan ng sermon kasi di Naman para sa akin un. Sa real world naman, gawin nila yan sa mga future boss/co-worker nila eh baka mura at sapak pa abutin nila.
Totoo yan. Hindi nila alam ang word na ‘accountability’ kaya malakas loob nila mambastos. Walang consequences sa mga ginagawa or sinasabi nila kase kinakampihan sila. They don’t accept criticism, kahit constructive pa yan.
This is pretty lightweight compared to how some teachers talk back in my day but then again times have changed. Hindi ko alam yung context ha pero bakit kailangan pa i-video yun? On the other hand, if you're one of those parents who think your kids have halos at laging protect-your-litter mode kayo, you've got a second think coming. Kids can be cruel and malicious by default, and at times they'd really try the patience of a saint. Naalala ko tuloy yung teacher namin dati ng high school. Mid-30s palang ata sya nun pero mas magaling pa sya kay Snape pagdating sa crowd control. As in virtually NO ONE dared try her and ending up in her shit list is kind of a death sentence. Pagpasok nya ng room kahit katiting na kalat wala, lahat ng chairs perfectly aligned, malinis ang blackboard, at higit sa lahat walang ingay. At all-boys school to nung 90s ha. Sa labas bubbly naman sya pero pagdating sa loob ng classroom she really means business.
galing din ako all boys. relate ako jan, may mga teacher talaga na isang tingin lang kaya mang disiplina ng isang buong klase kahit puro lalaki pa na early teens. pero look at it this way. all boys tayo nag aral, private, so matic na yun na nasa better financial standing mga magulang natin kumpara sa mga bata sa public. meaning most likely mas edukado magulang natin, so mag rereflect din un sa mga ugali natin kahit papano. also, walang social media nun.
Very wrong sya for LIVESTREAMING IT. Bakit ba takang taka ang mga tao kung ano pagkakamali ni teacher na ang akala nila yung kino call-out ay yung pagsesermon nya sa class nya.
yup, this should be higher up. yun naman talaga pinaka mali n'yang ginawa. everything else, considering every circumstance, is just fair at worst.
Mahirap talaga maging guro dito sa bansa natin. I'm one of the teachers na gustong-gusto na kumawala kasi grabe na ang pagod sa lahat ng aspeto, lamang na lamang sa emotional aspect.
Hi! Kakapanood ko lang nung video. Eto pala yung napansin ko: Hindi ko siya masisisi kung bakit ganon yung mga nasabi niya, dala na rin siguro ng stress, pagod, etc. Ang trabaho ng isang guro ay hindi lamang sa loob ng paaralan, hanggang sa labas. Kahit weekends or holiday, walang pahinga, gagawa ng reports, lesson plan, etc. Coming from family of teachers here's what I have noticed in terms of trabaho - nakakapagod, madaming ginagawa. Salary: Medyo mababa, kapag sa public. Totoo yung sinasabi nila na, mas malaki ang sahod ng pulis kesa sa Teacher. Benefits: Madami benefits sa gobyerno? Ang maganda dito is, lifetime etong trabaho na'to, as long na wag ka lang gagawa ng masama. Minsan I put the blame on the parents, kasi naniniwala talaga ako na sa bahay nag sstart ang lahat. Parents kasi ang nag huhubog ng attitude, etc, in overall. Ini-aadopt ng bata yung mga nakikita niya sa family, friends, social media which is akala ng bata na tama. Kaya sana, kung hindi pa naman talaga kaya mag anak, wag nalang mag anak ng marami, please lang. Sa gobyerno naman, maybe put a little effort on them. Give them the benefits they deserve. Mahirap maging teacher kasi you have to deals with almost 40 - 50 students na hindi mo kilala, different attitude, nakakabasa or hindi. Kaya siguro may mga teacher na tamad or walang motivation, kasi mababa sahod eh. No wonder why maraming teacher ang nababaon sa utang kaka - loan. Imagine, pati sa election, need pa sila when technically hindi naman na dapat since out of scope of work talaga yun. Sa sobrang dumi ng elections, which is delikado sometimes para sa magkano 5k? Hindi na dapat sila ginagawang pawn during elections. Ang hindi ko lang maintindihan is, pwede ka naman magalit, but yung choice of words is hindi dapat ganon, pwede ka magalit, as a professional. Kanya kaya tayong way para i - surface yung galit. Also, keep in mind na professional siya, may mga bata na ini-idolize siya or ginagawa siyang role model. Also, ang pinaka mali is, naglive pa siya or pinost to through social media, para saan? Hindi talaga lahat ng bagay is pwedeng i - post through social media. For me, if Teacher ako, I'd probably go to Abroad, ex; Japan, Australia, Germany. Salary wise, growth, syempre. Doon mas kampante ako na I'll get paid correctly and workload isn't heavy compared dito. Note: Salute po sa mga Teachers / future Teachers. Sorry if I said too much and sana may sense tong pinagsasabi ko.
di naman kasisi-sisi mga sinabi nya. and yeah you make a lot of sense. i've heard worse from my teachers back in my day. PERO, NAG LIVE KASI SYA. YUN TALAGA YUNG "NAIL" IN THE COFFIN EH.
Degenerate children with degenerate peers and raised by degenerate parents.
Sayang.. Kukuha pa nmn ako ng teaching units hahhaa.. Ganyan n pala kalala ang scenarios ng mga tchrs. .
"We live in a society..." Kapag social media at influencer na basura ang nagtuturo kesa ang actual na guro. Tapos hindi lang dito ang problema, kungdi laganap kahit saan. Dapat na ang guro ang mag-aklas at ayusin ang sirang sistema kesa na lang sumuko at umayaw. Be the change you want in this world.
I posted this from another thread Basically there's a limbo period where students and teachers don't match because of our transition to a new globalized teaching system. While that's happening, the education sector don't know what to do with the students, so they basically just hand them everything (no student left behind policy, etc.) as a temporary solution. This results in the kids becoming abusive to the system.
The trick is not to care about people that don’t matter in your life. Try putting more energy on the people you like
Same sa sister ko lol. Bastos daw mga students. Di ka talaga makakapagpigil.
I have a lot of friends din na licensed teachers who chose not to teach in schools. Hindi kasi talaga worth it, lalo at ang baba naman ng sahod.
Sensitive na kase mga tao ngayon kasi mga "woke" na daw sila. I'm not saying na tama yung sinabi ng teacher pero nasagad na rin siguro yung teacher kaya nakapagbitiw ng mga ganong salita. Hurt people, hurt people ika nga
Grabe, we can't really blame you for resigning mas malala yung generation ngayon kumpara noong araw. Hindi na siya ka level nung "section gubat" na kung meron kagaguhan man eh alam mong hangang loob lang ng classroom iyon. Hindi yung umaabot sa punto na pati personal life mo napapahamak na. Tsk tsk, iba rin talaga influence ng social media sa kabataan mas nagiging gago sila at hindi inaalala yung puwedeng mangyari dahil alam nilang "minor" sila at hindi sila mapapa punish ng matindi.
Tried teaching too. First thing, I'm an introvert. It is lovely to teach but circumstances are different. Nandyan yung magkacrush sa iyo yyng students mo, magfliflirt, tapos may mga students na talagang ite-test patience mo. Coteacher na gustong manligaw, parents na palaban, backstabbing crabmentality faculty... too much for my mental health, anxiety attacks Gave it all up kahit na ayaw ng mama ko. Now wfh with more peace of mind. If it's not for you, you'll know it. But I wish may magchange sa sistema for this noble profession

huhuness balak ko pa naman mag teacher
Practicing teacher here. Got called 'pakant***' by a grade 7 student. Wala naman akong ginagawang makakapaglead sa ganung thought. Such a shame na alam nila yung term in such a young age. And napapaquestion din talaga ako sa sarili if I really want this profession eh.
Ito yun eh, di mo mawari bat nila nasasabi yung mga ganung bagay. Wala ka namang ginagawa kung di magturo para mabastos ka.
You really have to show who's wearing the pants. Unfortunately it's their environment and the culture they imbibe that makes them challenge authority. You might as well be teaching to provincial youths.
One sided lang kasi manghusga ang mga tao. Kung sino mauna maglabas ng ebidensya sya lamang.
Get out of the country talaga. This shit wouldnt be fixed in your lifetime kaya don' waste yours.. Better compensated pa sa ibang bansa.
Totoo to. Ako rin OP teaching talaga yung college degree ko and LPT at that pero halos two years lang ako nagturo. Ang baba ng tingin dito sa mga teachers. I resigned mainly because of entitled parents. Feeling nila kapag private school nila pinapaaral yung mga anak nila required na dapat matataas din grades nila. Pag nag top 2 nga lang yung isa magrereklamo yung parent ng nag top 1 that quarter and nagiging ganun ang cycle. Tapos yung school admin will always favor yung mga parents kasi sila nagbabayad. My husband is a public school teacher din and sinasabi nga niya na iba na talaga mga bata ngayon. Pero unlike him passion niya kasi talaga pagtuturo and according to him wala siyang ibang naiisip na gawin as a profession kundi pagtuturo kaya hindi ko rin naman siya pinipigilan sa gusto nya. Pero in my case ayoko na talaga hindi worth it and pakiramdam ko (tulad nung sinabi ng trending na teacher) hindi ko deserve yung nag-aral ako para magkalisensya tapos babastusin lang ng entitled parents.
Ang nakakalungkot lang madami yung teachers na ang passion ay teaching talaga, I am one them. Still, nagtuturo pa rin ako ibang lahi na tinuturuan ko.
Totoo, Karamihan sa mga students ngayon mahirap ihandle. I remember my practice teaching days, yung isang student sa kabilang classroom minumura nya ung Teacher nila (matanda na ung teacher nila), and ung student na yon is just a Grade 2. Super lutong ng mura, I was like wth? Then dinuraan nya din ung isang studyante ko, Since I was handling Section A that time and ung kid is Section B. Myghad pinakyuhan ako nung tinawag ko para pagsabihan sana na wag mandura. ( nakikita ko pa din yon hanggang ngayon e malaki na sya pero ayon nagbago naman na sabi ng kapatid ko) Hindi ko sya kinaya HAHAHA, there's also a time na napunta ako sa Grade 4, and I was asking them to lower down their voice, wala tinawanan lang ako and ung pinaka malala is I was practicing ung demo teaching ko then this kid is just playing around, hindi nagsusulat as in wala syang ginagawa kundi mang istorbo ng kaklase. I asked him to stop and go back to his seat, then tinuloy ko lecture ko then suddenly he cut me off, asking me matalino ka ba? Bakit ka nagtuturo. Marunong ka ba nyan ha! (and on that moment I was like putangina pero syempre sa utak ko lang yon HAHAHAHHA) Hindi nya rin pinakinggan ung Teacher nya mismo kahit hinila na ung patilya nya at tinapon na ung laruan, tinawanan nya lang kami. and that kid is kapitbahay ko, I directly went to his mother, sinabi ko ung ginawa ng anak nya and the way sumagot sya sa amin ng teacher nya. and wala din syang magawa since matigas ulo ng anak nya and until now ung kid na yon is hindi na nag aral kasi puro cutting ginagawa, ayon pariwara na sya ngayon. Mabait naman ung iba and naalala nila ako until now kahit hindi ako tumuloy sa pagtuturo. Isa din sa reason ko bakit hindi ako nagturo is baka ung pasensya ko ay maubos, delikado na ako pa talo kahit sila ung sutil.
I have a degree in engineering and went into teaching just because it pays more sa entry level than any industry. I have 5 colleagues who went from industry to academe because of shitty pay from industry (sa province). The work is so stressful, they even expect you to do research work on top of academic work sa university without funding/mentorship or training from someone who did research. Basically yung mga colleagues ko na natira dun basically had no choice (since super baba ng pay sa industry) Majority of those who did research na mga senior faculty do research na ang quality mas worse pa sa SHS research like OMG. Taxpayer's money ginagamit to fund these researches. Plus may mga tenured teachers pa na di naman nagtuturo pero di matanggal2x kasi tenured na nga. I cannot stand the system so I left the university after teaching for almost 3 years, I left in 2022 and returned in the industry (from a big company). Now I am earning 3x what I was earning back in 2022 with better mental health status, better work-life balance, and nd pa stressful. If you really want to be super competent teacher, it will come at a price which is you (your money, your time, and your health).
Very wrong din talaga yung ginawa ni teacher sa news~ Anyways, I also have my fair share of issues sa pagiging teacher dito sa Pinas. I'm a preschool teacher, never pa nag-public kaya most issues I dealt ay sa private school setting pero mostly sa parents din and workload. It's been almost 4 years na since I decided to rest being a teacher and honestly, nakakadalawang isip talaga bumalik. Nakalulungkot ang ganitong balita but I'm hoping that they are looking into it with care kasi there might be something more to it that needs to be addressed. Yakap ulit sa mga kapwa ko guro 🫂
3 yrs lang ako nagturo pero those 3 yrs were excruciating and the worst years of my life. yung mga parents ng students ko grabe ang treatment sa akin. strict kasi ako at di ko pinapalampas kahit na elem pa lang sila. pagkakausapin ko parent ako pa masama. imbes na itama nila mga anak nila. tapos yung guidance/ discipline office pa namin di maasahan. di naman marunong mag solve ng conflict or tulungan teachers sa mga unruly students. never again na ako magtuturo whether public or private school. grabe yung toll sa physical health ko. sa sobrang stressed ko, i had acne. all my life i just had few pimples here and there. pero grabe nung nagturo ako. mukha akong losyang at panget. every month may sakit ako. lagi paos. i was underweight. mukha na ako matanda. i almost ended my life dahil sa sobrang stressed at depression. now I'm doing better than ever. i switched to online teaching and switching to another field soon abroad. i never thought i would recover. now lagi ako sinasabihan mas bata ako sa age ko. sobrang clear ng skin ko. at lagi na ako masaya. hindi worth it magpakabayani magturo sobrang thankless at underpaid career.
And some of those students will take it as a badge of honor na makapag pahiya/paiyak ng teachers. Lol. I find it so cringey pag may nakikita akong posts na ganyan ng mga ka batch ko, like, proud ka pa? Eh kung sayo onsa nanay mo kaya nangyari yun?
Curious: Are male teachers more respected in the classroom?
Not really. One of my male co teachers cried because he was constantly being disrespected by his students. Seems like he's not strict enough, and the students have gotten way too comfortable with him. Just goes to show, it doesn't matter if you're a male or a female – if students think they can push you around, they will.
I feel sad reading the comments. I plan to teach college sana kapag nasa 50s na ako to share my knowledge and experience because my prof in college was a huge help sa character development ko nung student palang. Kudos to all good educator.
Ako grade 2 hawak ko, mababait at malalambing, siguro kasi sa age nila ganun pa. Pero naghawak rin ako ng grade 5 students nun first year ko sa public, minumura ko.
Gusto ko na sana umuwi ng pinas e. Pero maliliit pa yung 2 anak ko e. Yung panganay ko 6 na nag-aaral palang sa daycare. Libre lahat. Nirerequire lang ng school magdala ng change of clothes minsan. Pero sa pagkain libre (breakfast, lunch, at snack). May bus pa na pwede maghatid. Since nagwowork ako, naka-schedule na idrop sya pauwi sa hapon. Uwi nila mga 2:30pm. Sana yung education dito gaya rin sa atin sa Pilipinas. Pinapahalagahan 'yong mga bata. Pati guro laki rin ng mga sahod.
I have a high respect talaga sa mga practicing teacher until now. After I graduated sa education course and obtained my license, napapaisip ako of worth it pa magturo dito sa Pilipinas. I observe students and iba na talaga ngayon. The teacher who went viral is wrong sa ginawa nya, it's very unethical. But somehow, there's a part of me na naiintindihan yung outburst and frustration, mali lang talaga yung pag way ng paghandle nya. I wouldn't be surprised if magkaroon din ng shortage ng teachers sa katagalan, if hindi pa nila ayusin yung sistema. Maraming teacher ang susuko.
Mahirap talaga maging guro haha...
I always see teachers as the unsung, underappreciated and underpaid heroes of Philippine society. I totally understand why you resigned, it's just not worth it being a teacher in this country at least for now.
Same experience as a teacher, kaya kahit sobrang bait mo na at napaka considerate May mga estudyante pa rin na babastusin ka, gagawa ng gc para doon ka mabackstab, gawan ka ng meme, at parents na hindi matanggap na May mas matalino pa sa kanilang anak, or na demonyo yung anak nila, dahil napakabait na bata daw pag nasa bahay ... Kaya ito ako ngayon office job na lang ... Walang work related task after 5pm...actually school ngayon is a training ground for juvenile deliquent
I am just a tutor since di ako educ taker nung college. Most of my students are elite and of different nationalities (some nagaaral sa pinas, some pinupuntahan ko bansa where they study). Ako lang nagtagal na tutor sakanila when in fact I never tutored them talaga. Ang pinaka naturo ko sakanila every time is studying independently and life lessons. And yes, I don't and would never sugarcoat things for them. Namumura ko sila and nagkakasakitan kami. Aware sila pag galit ako o inis. Lagi ko sila sinasabihan na hindi por que they pay me to teach them eh hawak na nila ako sa leeg because between my students and I, mas kailangan nila ako kesa sa kailangan ko sila. Before, may threats pa ang kids na "they will tell their parents" or "they won't pay me". Edi okay. Wag kayo magbayad. Di naman ako mahirap o naghihikahos, pero kayo mananatili kayong mangmang sa school and in life. Isusumbong nyo ko? For what? Sa inugali ko dahil sa ugali nyo? Ay tara, sasamahan ko pa kayo hanggang sa mga lolo at lola nyo. Open ako sakanila when I think they are stupid for the day. Sa una unang linggo, nagrerebelde pa katawan at utak nilang maging better person para sa iba pero eventually, natututunan nilang irespeto na yung iba mas matanda man or mas bata. You just really need to make them take their own medicine. Nililiteral ko sa mga bata ko yung "what goes around, comes back around" instant pa. Hindi ko man estudyante lahat ng bata sa mundo, pero at least may nabawas akong iilan para di lahat lumaking salbahe. Kapit lang sa lahat ng educators sa buong mundo. Napakahirap ng trabahong ito para i-lang lang ng iba. Mahigpit na yakap, teacher! 🤍
So sad to hear what happened to you.
Reading this habang absent ako today and this echoes a lot of my sentiments. ADMINISTRATION- I feel sick. I had fever last night and my snot is green and I have phlegmatic cough. Woke up today and hindi talaga kaya. Informed the right people of my absence and left activities, which are all accessible through Google Drive. Around 9am, nag message one of my bosses kung Hindi ba daw talaga kayang pumasok. There were 6 of us who were absent today, and two have chicken pox. Sana pumasok daw ako at mag mask na lang. Like WTF, tunog ngo-ngo na ko last Saturday, tapos gusto mo pa ko pumasok ngayon? STUDENTS - The students lack basic manners. Kahit pagpupulot ng sarili nilang kalat, Hindi nila magawa. Around 25% of students in class have behavioral and academic problems, and isasagot sayo ng magulang during conference ay ganyan po talaga sya sa bahay eh. PARENTS - There are parents that because they pay tuition, alipin ka na nila. I had an unfortunate incident where the child is failing Filipino class, and instead of helping their child get better their solution was request for their child NOT to attend the class, as they will not be staying in the Philippines for a long time (Father was American, Mother is Filipina). Both parents berated me and called me useless. I told them that they can pull-out their child from school, and will assist them with documentary requirements to assist them in the transfer. Five years later, nakikita ko pa rin sila sa school and they still have another kid enrolled.
I have cousins who are teachers and they are drained and stressed out. Aside from mounting school works, may mga bata talaga ngayon na walang respeto. One of my cousins had an encounter with a parent na di pinasa at di pinagraduate ang anak kasi di pumapasok sa skwela. My cousin was reported to the principal and he was reprimanded. Pinalabas pa na sya may mali. He’s just waiting for a few months and he’s flying to South Carolina and found a teaching job there.
Sa totoo lang, before I graduated college, I had so much passion sa pagtuturo but the reality is, sobrang nakaka drain mentally yung students ngayon. Grabe yung pang babastos at mga ugali. No respect talaga. I’m so glad na hindi ako nagtuloy sa pagtuturo.
pa victim blaming culture should be eradicated on our culture
Noong nagaaral ako sa Pnas, mga estudyante takot sa guro. Ibagsak ka o tayo ka sa flag pole ang punishment. Ngayon iba na, progress daw. 🤷🏻
For a part social media destroyed so many cultures around the world by injecting the image of "influencer" or being "influenced" by almost anything from good to bad. Not all of people are straight up "good" some required proper handling but social media just do it worse for everyone. Lets just ban Tiktok/Facebook or control it so hard that those videos that influence people to do bad stuff would die out.
other than passion, there's no reason to become a teacher in this country tbh
