Dilemma of a Teacher (repost)

One of the hardest moment in a teacher’s life is when you see a student having a failing mark.. “it has never been my profession to give a student a failing mark..” to quote my one of my model professor.. a principle that was embedded to me.. I am a teacher.. if the experience of failing would be the way for some students to learn.. then its like a bitter pill that they need to swallow… as for my part if you think its easy.. think again..

Its always a dilemma.. I have to do my job.. make sure that they are learning.. and wish that at the end of the term they would all get not just a high mark but an excellent one.. and worse comes to worse at least a passing mark. If only it would sink in to their hearts and mind the message I would like them to all catch. In reality, some just cant.. and sad to say some just wont. In some way I also come into a realization.. that in such a way I am part to blame. Naranasan ko ng may maki-usap sa kin… iyakan.. para sa grade.. kung pwede ko lang ibigay sa kanya iyon ng ganun kadali.. but then again.. what they have in hand is just the consequence of their past actions.. “kaya nga laging nasa huli ang pagsisi e..”

It actually breaks my heart.. really.. but sometimes people choose to learn the hard way..
