Chika kami ni mader about my elem days ta's napunta usapan namin sa mga times na pinahiya ako ng grade 6 teacher ko pero ako yung nasa tama HAHAHAHA.
There was one time we answered this exercise from our M.A.P.E. book (oo, walang H nung grade 6 ako), and . . .
There was one time we answered this exercise from our M.A.P.E. book (oo, walang H nung grade 6 ako), and . . .
. . . the instructions said to identify the soprano, alto, tenor, and bass among the singers. One of the singers mentioned was Andrea Bocelli. Since I always listen to his songs because of my grandfather, I know that he's a tenor. When we were checking the seatwork, my . . .
. . . teacher said that she doesn't know who Andrea Bocelli is and that we should just write soprano as the answer because Andrea is a name of a girl. Of course, I can't just accept that. I have to tell the class what I know, so that we will be aware of the correct answer . . .
. . . I raised my concern and contested my teacher's answer. I wasn't surprised that no one else in the class knows who he is 'cause let's face it, kids my age at that time do not listen to classics, and I guess not all adults are familiar too. All they know . . .
. . . was Pavarotti. Anyway, she was really surprised that I corrected her. But since she is the teacher and "she's always right," she told me how could Andrea Bocelli be a tenor when Andrea is a girl's name. My classmates were so confused. I just told her what . . .
. . . I know and tried to state facts, but she still insisted on her false analogy that Andrea is a girl's name hence the answer could only be soprano. Like, bitch, what? You'd rather your students believe something wrong than to verify the information . . .
. . . and teach them what is correct just so you won't get embarrassed? What an uncultured swine! Sad lang na 'di pa'ko palaban nung elem days ko, so 'di ko na pinaglaban further. I felt embarrassed kasi she made me look like nagmamarunong ako and na I'm not . . .
. . . respecting her. In the end, sabi ko sa seatmate ko na check-an yung sagot ko ta's I will count as correct din yung sagot niya. Kumopya kasi siya sa'kin lol. At least, kami ng seatmate ko, tama sagot namin.
Another time the same teacher embarrassed me . . .
Another time the same teacher embarrassed me . . .
. . . was during our English class (nung elem kasi ako, isa lang ang teacher sa lahat ng subjects except sa computer and sa speech classes). There was an activity sa book namin where you have to write what you think the people in the image are doing. As long as the answer . . .
. . . is reflective of what the image portrays, it's counted as correct. Ta's yung isang item, merong group na naka-school uniform and they were laughing. Since I watch a lot of English programs, I wrote "The students were joking around." Kasi sa class namin, marami . . .
. . . mahilig mag-joke, kaya yun yung nilagay kong sagot. Recitation style kami according to seat arrangement when we checked the activity. Nasakto naman na sa'kin natapat yung item na yun, so I read my answer, and then my teacher said, "Joking around? Ano yung umiikot . . .
. . . sila? Nagjo-joke sila habang umiikot?" Umarangkada nanaman ang pagiging uncultured swine netong mamaru na 'to. In my mind I was, like, everybody in the English speaking universe knows what it means. E ayun, like I said, 'di pa'ko palaban nung mga panahong 'to, so . . .
. . . I just shut up and sat down.
I swear that teacher has a reputation for humiliating students and for giving special treatments to her favorites. Maraming beses pa niya'ko pinahiya in class, pero looking back, I realize how important it is na dapat ang mga teachers . . .

. . . natin ay capable talaga magturo, and that they should be open for criticism and healthy discussions. Kung may ni-raise na concern ang student and 'di niya alam yung info, dapat i-research nila. Correct info ang dapat tinuturo, hindi yung magtuturo ng mali just to save face.
