Life is .......

Values Integration in every lesson, specially for Learning Areas other than Values Education itself is a vital part of teaching --- whether the DepEd or Educational Theories prescribed it or not, it is actually already existing in the classroom scenario. As a matter of fact - even us, during the time when we were also students, we were bombarded with such 'sermons' by our teachers then.

I'm just actually justifying the picture that I'll be showing below... hahaha. After graduation, some of my students posted pictures discretely on their group - these are stolen pictures of their teachers while inside the classroom. They have done this not for anything else but just for fun.

One throwback picture posted by my students which made me smile was about me solving Life as a mathematical equation. I have seen this equation circulating in the social networking site and I cannot remember what particular instance did I inserted this in our discussion.

Life is 1/2 Happy plus 1/2 Sad

4-day school to solve traffic???

JFreigh

My Dept. Head handed me a survey-questionnaire about the proposed 4-day class a week to solve traffic problems in Metro Manila.

And because of that, I've asked the opinion of my co-teachers present during that time in the faculty. We have different views - a lot of pros and cons were raised and it ignited a healthy discussion.

In my own opinion, as what I've written in the survey-questionnaire, and I quote;

We should not sacrifice the quality time of our Education just to solve traffic problem. I strongly believe that the Education sector should not be the one to suffer just to solve this problem. I believe that 5-day contact time is properly equated to the attention span of our students nowadays & increasing the duration per session to compensate for a 4-day class schedule will 'worsen' the quality of our education.




Although, some of our Education officials are still thinking about alternative delivery mode of instruction to compensate for the contact time lost, let's just hope that this will not put at risk the education of our students.
