MALPRACTICES OF TEACHERS
Teachers
are branded as molders or builders of good Filipino values in shaping our
people to become a better individual. An individual who acts according to the
commandments of God and according to what is right & proper. An individual
who mirror himself as a good living
example.
In
the realm of education, we are mandated to teach values education to our
students. The purpose of which is not only to instill & inculcate but
rather live these values for them to become better individuals. We constantly
find solutions to the extreme attitudes or behaviors of our students nowadays. However,
there is one big question that bothers me always, how can we effectively &
firmly impose these good values if malpractice of teachers are marked by
menacing wildness in our society. If our teaching does not even manifest our
own actions.
The
Department of Education has been imposing a protocol in hiring teachers. Applicants
will be rated & ranked according to their standards. Hired teachers are marked
to be the best among the rest but why has it become a public knowledge that the
one who makes it on the top of the ranking does not even get immediately the
item. It has become a puzzle for me that those who don’t even make in the ranking
amazingly get the items.
Quality
education is the topmost objective of the department. To attain quality
education, we should hire quality teachers with field of expertise or
specialization. How can we have an assurance of quality education if we allow
them to teach a subject which is not his field of expertise or specialization?
The
department is conducting an annual assessment to all the students both in
public & in private in order to measure & to evaluate the learning of
the students.
How
can we then prove the authenticity of the result if the proctors providing answer
to he examinees? Why we should be afraid of knowing the real scores of the
students? Does it really affect the level of performance as teachers? Or we are
just afraid to be discovered that we are not effective & efficient teachers.
Quality
learning should be given and provided to all the students. Students should not
of course be deprived by the high quality of learning. How could we possible
provide & give high quality of learning if only above-average students are
only given special attention. If & only then the above-average students can
use the computers or gadgets in learning. If & only then, the above-average
students are provided quality teachers.
These
are just few of the malpractices of teachers in our society. These scenarios
are impairing the visions of our people. This is degrading and embarrassing
practices or our teachers thus ruin the good image of teachers in our society. We
could not lead the people in the paradigm of righteousness if our teaching of
good values does not manifest our own actions.
We
need to have a great CHANGE in the educational parlance. A true change should
start from us. We need to stick on the rules & procedures, strictly follow
the standards & implement fair & quality education for all without any elasticity
at all.
PROPOSED ACTIONS ON TEACHERS’ MALPRACTICES
To
restore & dignify the name of the Department of Education, the agency
should take actions on the malpractices of teachers. These are the proposed
solution on the existing demeaning scenarios on malpractices.
1. The
department should firmly strengthen the values education to teachers.
2. Provide
a website for comments, suggestions & recommendations & these things
should be given immediate proper actions.

suggestion boxes to all institutions wherein the students & parents are
given the chance to express their opinions, comments, suggestions or even
recommendations.
4. Post
