Reflections of Teachers in Teaching

On our no year school day I played the role of being a Social science teacher but before I will tell you what happen during that day I would tell you first what happened two days before the no year school day happened.

Two days before the No Year school day had officially started we were given two forms for those who were applying. At First I was thinking to apply for Science C handled by Mdm. Gallo and for Health handled by Miss Maquilan. When Mdm. Gallo spread the news that the interview for those who where applying on her subjects will be in the afternoon of that day, what I did is that I ran towards Jeziel to get my application for Science C because I am afraid to be interviewed. So I proceed to Health that afternoon. Even if Miss Mquilan was very busy I sis still try to catch up with her so that I could apply for the position.

When I saw miss Maquilan she told me that I can not apply for health because our health subject is not covered for the no year school day, so I Have no choice but to apply for another and that is for Social Science and Filipino subjects. When I applied for Social Science and Filipino I was accepted right away.

When our no year school day had officially started, we were welcomed by everybody with a recognition or giving of ID’s for us student teachers. Then after that noisy event we returned to our classrooms. When the class for Social Science started we prepared a set of Questions for them to report within 15 minutes. But some students were complaining about the questions because some does not have enough resources to answer the Questions, and I was sorry for offending one student because I told her that we can’t do anything about it because it was Mdm. Logarta who gave the questionnaire and I think that she was offended with the tone of my voice but I asked sorry about that.

After 15 minutes everybody was ready to report and we asked each group to right the important things that everybody had to know because we were planning to have a test about that. Well actually I would like to have a very hard test because it is also open notes, so I was thinking the more notes they take the more chance for them to have a high score. But it was not me who made the questionnaires and I didn’t know that it was very easy so I accidentally told them that it is open notes. But then I was still very disappointed about their behaviors because they were all complaining as if the person standing in front of them was an ordinary student.

During my Filipino time unfortunately I was not able to teach my students because I have to attend our math preparation for the MTAP. So I asked Permition from my co-Filipino student teachers. And fortunately they were able to understand my situation so I was not able to teach at that time.
