Child's Rights

The Child Protection Policy has been highly implemented ever since the K-12 Curriculum has also been implemented. DO 40, s.2012 ensures the safety of children, especially the students in all institutions. Protection includes Abuse, Violence, Exploitation, Discrimination, Bullying and Other Forms of Abuse. 

 In the traditional days way back, students get to be "punished" for reasons like not submitting home works in time, being mischievous in classes, and being late. Of course, these are just some of the violations students commit that teachers have the leisure to "teach them a lesson" once in a while by letting them stay out in class, getting their hands slapped by a ruler or by hand. Some of these may effect the physical and psychological aspects of a student. But I tend to wonder if this is necessary since students who did not go through the strict implementation grew up to be disciplined and well-behaved individuals, making them mature. With my observation in the past years with this implementation, students get to fully enjoy and abuse this opportunity that makes them look as if they have power over their teacher, so with one reprimand, they instantly would report their teachers to the office. Sadly, this has a lot of pros and cons, especially with the millenials as students.

 In the school I am observing in, this is very evident. Student get to slack off, knowing that they are "the boss" in the classroom. Even if the teacher has a lot of patience, one can only tolerate the behavior. It's sad to see it every single time in the classroom. But I can say that this is highly implemented. There were actually teachers who were used to disciplining students physically (and brutally) who left the school and some changed.

    Indeed! The students needs to be protected and also they must know their rights as a person.

      There should also be more integration of rights in their classes.

    As a future teacher, I hope we can make our future students understand why is there a Child Protection Policy, and not taking advantage of it.

      That's the sad reality because students abuse it to the breaking point. Fortunately, there are still students who understand properly.

    Indeed, as a future teacher we must know and help students to understand the child protection policy, so that it will not take advantage of it.

      That's a good suggestion! Teachers can integrate it during their lessons so that they get to understand the policy thoroughly

The Educational System of FGNMHS

Growing up 12 years in a Catholic School, I always wondered how public schools were run, and I'm thankful that in all my field study units were in public schools. Francisco G. Nepomuceno Memorial High School is one of the largest DepEd schools in Angeles that cater to more than 5,000 students excluding this year's first batch of Senior High School students. Typically, schools in DepEd follow the same Philosophy, Vision, and Mission, as well as the core values. The school also houses more than 2,000 faculty members excluding the administrators and those in other offices. A large school such as FGNMHS requires a lot of attention especially with the large number of populations it caters, but seeing the system itself whenever I am in the Principal's Office, the faculty, and even in the classrooms, I can say that the Educational System of this particular school is organized and well-updated. Of course, there are flaws, and not every institution is perfect, but everyone has...

Teacher as Role Model of GMRC

Instinctly, teachers, especially Values Educators are the epitome of Good Morals and Right Conduct of not only students, but of the entire community. Teachers are professionals and looked with full dignity. The teachers I am observing at my school are both the epitome of GMRC in their own little ways. Teacher 1 is very prim and proper, but knows how to give a good laugh. In all her classes, she knows and sees everything each student does in class and acknowledges him/her even in the smallest detail of sitting properly or having their phones out. Whenever she sees her female students doing their makeup or grooming in class, she reminds them that the classroom will never be a comfort room, otherwise their designated seats will be urinals. Teacher 2 knows when to be firm in times her students need it. She never likes noise and always points out disrespectful remarks not only to her but to even their classmates. She always makes it a point that respect begets respect. Because in some...

Orientation

I know it's late, but it's better late than never I guess *nervous laugh* It's already September but I can never forget the orientation period, and I think everyone else who were deployed in my designated school will never forget that memorable day. We arrived at HAU at around 7:30am, and we left exactly at 8:00. After three schools, we finally arrived at our designated school at around 8:30. Since there was an emergency meeting, no one was there to entertain us. So we waited another hour. Then one hour became two, until someone finally accompanied us at the library. The person who oriented us was the coordinator of MAPEH. She just reminded us to wear proper uniform and be courteous to all the faculty in the school. After that, she told us to wait for the coordinators before leaving. When she left, there were almost 40 of us waiting. We waited until 12nn. Everyone was literally on fire, and I kept quiet. Because what could I get if I let my hot-headedness get to me? N...
