We students, often say that teachers aren’t caring, we say they are very rude, annoying, boring and sometimes we often say they’re mad! Yes, it is very true that we often say these words and talk about it to our friends. And yes, teachers are sometimes very much like this. But do we know why they’re doing it? Do we know what they have to endure to teach us? Do we know that they are only doing this just for………………………….KIKAYS! Joke only!
No, they aren’t doing this just for, “kikays”. They aren’t doing this because they are angry at us, but because they truly and dearly love us!
Being a teacher is no easy job. You have to be strict, well disciplined and at times be the superior of all, to show a good example and leave a good impression to your students.
Here is my experience on being a bad boy to my teacher…..
Once, I had a teacher, my favorite teacher! Her name was, Ms. Madelin B. Tinapay. She was also a mother, so, she well knows how to take care of in obedient children like me. She had two children, Rendel, and Renelin, who we, her students, treated her like our own brother and sister. We would usually call her, teacher “Madie”.
Teacher Madie was a kind, thoughtful, caring and lovable teacher. She graduated Magna Cumlaude in College. She was such an achiever. Then, she chose to be a teacher at the Lahug Elementary School, my school. At first, she was still a teacher for the regular class. Then, when our adviser at the Science Class was promoted to become our Assistant Principal, Teacher Madie then became our new adviser.
Our first impression on her was that she was very strict. We though she wouldn’t be as good as our previous teacher.
But we were wrong. She was in fact better than our previous teacher. She was very kind to us that we would treat her as if she was our best friend. She would sometimes jam with our jokes and would always spend time to “chika” with us.
We all know that Math is a very boring subject, but not for our class. Teacher Madie would hold mini Math Challenges to ignite our energy and to make Math so fun that we would sometimes wish it would be Math that we learn everyday.
She was also very good at Math, because of her expertise in this field, we won 3rd in the Division Finals, DepEd, MTAP, Math Challenge. We were so happy with our place despite the many very good schools that joined the competition.
Now let me tell you what bad thing I did to this very wonderful teacher.
One time, we had an exercise in Math that involved decimal points. Our class decided that instead of writing .1, we should write 0.1 to lessen confusion of the teachers. The problem was I didn’t listen (‘cause I was busy drawing my crush in my notebook). My score for the exercise was (I could still remember the exact score), 15/20, just because I wrote .1 instead of 0.1 as to what the class decided. I really expected I would be perfect on the said exercise.
After learning that I wasn’t perfect, I cried and I cursed my teacher just for one exercise. I said many mean words to her; I cursed her for so many times. I didn’t talk to her for a week!
But in the end, I said sorry to her because I realized that I was the one who was wrong and I was the one who had been unreasonable.
So this one thing I can only say to you people, never treat your teachers as if they’re just your servants.
I leave this saying to you:
“Do not do to others what you Don’t want others do unto you.”
BYE!
