@Dorothea: I agree. There were days when the teachers were awesome but there were also the ones that really get into our nerves.

@Dorothea: Oh! Seriously? lol

It contains the "bomb" is the best way to describe what it does hahaha
Just google sis, naa siyay website. I'm so amazed by it that I've literally given it as gifts to people. LOL

@rodsky -- nganong ingon man ka nowadays, there have always been crappy teachers and amazing ones. Dili ra man na nowadays. There is no good 'ole days when all teachers were great.

Yeah, same with me, only that she holds those dresses that I have outgrown while reminiscing how cute I had been when I wore them...

It just occurred to me how much crapping has been very significant to my learning and metabolism....

:clap:
Stimulating conversations and the growing of passions ---they're here!
For as long as I live, I am a student. An ageless teacher, lover of the academia!

I didn't imagine this blog would solicit great ideas from you. It truly gives me an insight into the trend of learning among students these days.

If there were chords I struck somewhere, my apologies. I was just merely trying to write on a musing, some form of outlet from the rather tedious task of balancing different activities in school. I had in no way any intention of hitting anyone, suggesting a sect or something. If there were undertones I shouldn't have emphasized, they were merely coincidental.

Over and above everything, I love my work or I wouldn't have stayed longer than I thought I would in this profession. I strongly think something can be done about the situation rather than just merely talking about it.

Yeah, though I haven't known him personally... I could relate somehow since I just lost my father recently...

Teaching is one of the most difficult vocations gyud. It takes a special person to be a good teacher. Thanks sis for your contributions to society, to our youth. Kung wala'y good teachers, sus asa kaha ta puniton ani.

It makes me sad. Paborito kaayo to nako ang Home Along Da Riles.

Lately, no. Several years ago, yes, though not in a mainstream school as shey and rodsky does. I spent 2 years as a volunteer teacher teaching children of farmers in the hinterlands of bohol, surigao del sur, and samar. Subjects covered were basic math (aritmetics), reading and writing (bisaya, tagalog, and english), Filipino history, and health-related topics (mostly hygiene). It was coursed through a local NGO and was part of my training as a student journalist. It is not as specialized nor as systematized as that done by professional teachers, but that's really beside the point of shey's blog post, isn't it?

As for having taught adults to make such a comparison, I admit that was my cyncism talking. Most adults I've interacted with so far have big mouths and even bigger heads. Perhaps that's why I have been blogging here in iStorya more than my regular blog as most of those in the blog community here are humble and genuinely intelligent. I sure as hell don't get this kind of discussion in my other blogs.

On another note, I agree with what you said regarding the internet being abused by know-it-alls. What's worse, the internet has also made us poor judge of characters. It has become, quite disturbingly, easy for us to judge a person based on online persona -posts, comments, stories from common online friends, etc. I admit I'm guilty of this, as there have been numerous times that I get very emotional to the point of being too subjective. In the end, I simply decided to leave know-it-alls alone as long as the have no significance in my life. A difficult test in patience, I know, but hey, in the end not only have I avoided being dragged into ridiculous and pointless discussions but also increased the limits of my patience.
