010 Learn Latin

One of my co-teachers shared that he learned his Latin right after college. He took pains to study the language every summer. That made him qualified to teach Latin though he was a chemical engineering professor at the university of the Philippines. He is young; he looks intelligent too considering his young age.

There is something puzzling with the teachers in PAREF northfield. Each one seems to be so qualified to teach in a big school yet they chose to teach in PAREF. I have my own reason and that make me somehow accepts that talented teachers do teach in a school that does not offer a competitive salary. I have also observed that most of the teachers are ambitious. Every one wants to advance in his career.

PAREF offers each teacher a training which is a little bit of all the good things. This is very much a unique school. Something like a seminary in a layman's world.

Some may not like the involvement of parents in the management of the schools. But PAREF way is different. The parents are involve because they have decide to be truly involve in the development or their children from home to school to society. There is actually a consious effort from the parents to make the school the best for their children. This I believe is admirable.

By the way, I also want to learn Latin. I am going to borrow basic Latin from my co-teacher.

This is all for tonight. God bless.

014 Work

There are still so many things that need to be done. I have to work to live. I have to live to do my mission. I don't feel good today. Same as yesterday. It feels like the world stopped spinning but only on me. I am down and cannot do anything. I have to move though. So today I will construct my last two syllabi wash my clothes write my 2nd speech for the toastmasters construct my daily schedule make affirmation cards...I need this for I am now out of balance... go to church chat with a friend clean my room, and try to be myself again. I have to do this and stop waiting for the manna of chikka to come online this morning....

006 I could sing of your love forever

I am listening now to a song of the same title as this entry. I am done writing the minimum competencies for 2nd and 3rd year high school. I am yet to write one for the 4th year. These minimum competencies will become the bases of the syllabus that we teachers are to design. As I was writing the curriculum objectives, I was visited with an army of ideas on how to execute them in the classroom. I have learned so many techniques in my eight years of teaching. Yet, none of these technique is a sure fire in the classroom. Every child in the classroom is a new being I have to deal with. Every classroom is different to every other classroom I have handled before. One prominent thought that visited me was a warning. Most of what are education today trained students on how to answer questions like WHAT IS THE CAPITAL OF Paris? or WHAT IS A VERB, A NOUN, AN ADJECTIVE, GALAXY, NEUTRON, MEAN, CHI SQUARE, OR ANYTHING? which if given just another short glance would amount to nothing.
