011 Dead tired

My body aches. I am very very tired from todays work. Yet, I cannot rest since I still have to prepare for tomorrows activity.

I finished and passed two syllabi for today. I am also done with one schedule which is to be given to the students. I still have to do two more syllabi. I will finish one this sunday and work for the other after next week.

Yes, there are lots and lots of work. I have no regrets however of leaving Jubilee. I know that I am in a right direction. It seems that I am with people who are not simply bright. They all manifest the drive for excellence.

I have to rest my finger for a while. I have to work after 15 minutes.

God bless you.

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 di

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.
