by: Merbel Ganapin
To the DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
This is an open letter.
My wife is a TEACHER but she is also a MOTHER.......
1. Forgive her if she comes late in school as she also needs to do household chores, takes care of my children and prepares my son who also goes to school.
2. Forgive her if she needs to make an excuse during doctor's appointment/check-up, school meetings, family days/gatherings, important occasions, other emergencies, etc.
3. Forgive her if she comes to school sleepy as she needs to teach her son his assignments, do her required reports/paperworks and needs to study and prepare her lesson for tomorrow. (By the way she always sleeps at 12 and wakes up at 6)
4. Pardon her if she feels down and unmotivated.
5. Please FORGIVE HER, she has nothing to do with it. Im just sick and tired of all her complains which she feels HELPLESS!.

And, Please Let her children spend quality time with her.

6. To the Principal and Supervisors, If you do surprise observations, Encourage her. Please focus on her strengths not on her weaknesses.
7. Please don't scold her, If she is wrong inform her don't belittle her.
8. Please review your policies regarding your required reports and paperworks including completion and submission. (They already spent a whole stressfull day teaching and still need to do reports at home. Teachers do overtime work without proper compensation).
9. Focus more on how to boost the morale of our educators.
10. Dont blame teachers regarding the attitude of the students. This is not just merely a teacher factor.
11. Please have them maximize their supposedly 2 months summer vacation (half of it will be for insets, seminars, brigada, enrollment, etc.)

My thoughts?
Teacher's Accomplishment equals Principal's Accomplishment equals
Supervisor's equals accomplishment of higher ranking employee..credits will go to the highest ranks..Sad but true

13. LEARN TO APPRECIATE ALL THEIR EFFORTS..
So many to mention.........
I dont want to blame anyone. It's with the SYSTEM. Mahirap kasi sa atin porket effective sa ibang bansa gagayahin na natin. Okay naman ang napo-produce na graduates ng mga kapanahunan namin. Hindi ko nalang alam ngayon..hehe
Are we improving?
(Eh bakit ginawang tamad ng deped ang mga bata.)
I will cite an example.
Si student A tamad pumasok, papasok lang kada exams or important schools activities, sabi kasi ni deped wala dapat babagsak pag may bumagsak reflection sa teacher/school and explanation sa division office. Anong gagawin ni teacher ipapasa o ibabagsak? (toinks)
Kaya pala andami nating highschool students na non-reader. Simpleng comprehension yung ibang bata hirap na hirap. #TruthHurts
Wala na kasi yung essence ng reward and punishment.
Ni simpleng RESPECT from the students nawawala na din.

Not to mention all the additional duties na ipinasa ng DOH (immunization, dengue monitoring, etc.), DSWD (4P's monitoring), REDCROSS, etc.
P.S.--BTW DepEd, Licensed Teacher din po pala ako pero mas pinili kong magtrabaho sa ibang departamento kasi gusto kong magkaroon ng oras sa pamilya ko. Hindi po tayo kulang ng teachers. Maghanap po kayo madami sa labas malamang nasa callcenters, abroad, etc. Masyado po kasi tumatak yung "notion" ng overloaded paperworks sa mga teachers kaya mas pinili na nila ang ibang trabaho.
I am a son of both Teachers.My Father is a Retired School Principal and My mother will be retiring on November as Master Teacher1 (She's on her terminal leave utilizing all her hard earned service credits..Fyi she's just 60, still have 5 years to teach sana kung din lang sa tambak ng trabahong pinapagawa nyo sa kanila)..
Mas masasabi kong masaya kabataan ko at ng mga kapatid ko kasi di pa ganun katambak noon ang trabaho ng mga magulang ko at may sapat silang oras para sa aming magkakapatid.

Tao lang din po sila..Napapagod at Kailangan ng sapat na pahinga!
BATO BATO SA LANGIT OPISYAL NA TATAMAAN WAG SANANG MAGAGALIT!
Ito ay personal kong opinyon bilang isang asawa..
